Customization

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

RedTeam Skill

Military-grade adversarial analysis using parallel agent deployment. Breaks arguments into atomic components, attacks from 32 expert perspectives (engineers, architects, pentesters, interns), synthesizes findings, and produces devastating counter-arguments with steelman representations.

Workflow Routing

Route to the appropriate workflow based on the request.

When executing a workflow, output this notification directly:

code

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **RedTeam** skill to ACTION...

Trigger	Workflow
Red team analysis (stress-test existing content)	`Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md`
Adversarial validation (produce new content via competition)	`Workflows/AdversarialValidation.md`

Quick Reference

Workflow	Purpose	Output
ParallelAnalysis	Stress-test existing content	Steelman + Counter-argument (8-points each)
AdversarialValidation	Produce new content via competition	Synthesized solution from competing proposals

The Five-Phase Protocol (ParallelAnalysis):

•Decomposition - Break into 24 atomic claims
•Parallel Analysis - 32 agents examine strengths AND weaknesses
•Synthesis - Identify convergent insights
•Steelman - Strongest version of the argument
•Counter-Argument - Strongest rebuttal

Context Files

•Philosophy.md - Core philosophy, success criteria, agent types
•Integration.md - Skill integration, FirstPrinciples usage, output format

Examples

Attack an architecture proposal:

code

User: "red team this microservices migration plan"
--> Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
--> Returns steelman + devastating counter-argument (8 points each)

Devil's advocate on a business decision:

code

User: "poke holes in my plan to raise prices 20%"
--> Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
--> Surfaces the ONE core issue that could collapse the plan

Adversarial validation for content:

code

User: "battle of bots - which approach is better for this feature?"
--> Workflows/AdversarialValidation.md
--> Synthesizes best solution from competing ideas
