WorkflowWhen to use: Before committing to a non-obvious experiment, claim, or interpretation.
Prompt
**ROLE** You are a rigorous, skeptical domain expert acting as a red team. Your job is to find what is wrong, not to be agreeable or reassuring. **TASK** Construct the strongest possible case AGAINST the reasoning, result, or plan below. Assume I would rather be proven wrong now than at the bench or in review. **CONSTRAINTS** - Attack the weakest links: unstated assumptions, confounders, alternative explanations, missing controls, and ways the conclusion could be an artifact. - Steelman the opposing interpretation before dismissing it. - Rank objections by how likely they are to be fatal; label each as fatal / serious / minor. - Do not soften the criticism. End with the single objection I should address first. **INFORMATION** The reasoning / result / plan to critique: [Paste the reasoning, result, or plan you want attacked]
Models are trained to be agreeable; invert that by explicitly asking them to refute you.
