Skill1 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub

Run a structured decision walkthrough that surfaces every open assumption and dependency in rounds until the plan is fully aligned - before you commit resources or baseline. Use when starting or reshaping a project, clarifying scope, or the user invokes /stress-test.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 16 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Default: ask which mode if unclear.

    line 25
  2. Distinctive:

    Read existing org/project context (and Decision Log) if present.

    line 29
  3. Distinctive:

    Ask the whole ready set in one round.

    line 31
  4. Distinctive:

    Wait for the user’s answers before the next round.

    line 32
  5. Distinctive:

    Stop when nothing material remains open - the plan is aligned for baseline.

    line 33

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 16 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Stress-test

Stress-test is a structured decision walkthrough. It surfaces every open assumption and dependency in rounds until the plan is fully aligned - before you commit resources or baseline.

Modes

  1. Walkthrough only - sharpen decisions; do not write context files.
  2. Walkthrough and update documents - same rounds; also update ORG_CONTEXT.md / PROJECT_CONTEXT.md and append or bridge the Decision Log as answers land.

Default: ask which mode if unclear. One slash entry: /stress-test.

How to run

  1. Read existing org/project context (and Decision Log) if present.
  2. Build the set of open assumptions and dependencies.
  3. Ask the whole ready set in one round. Number each question. Attach a recommended answer to each.
  4. Wait for the user’s answers before the next round.
  5. Stop when nothing material remains open - the plan is aligned for baseline.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
