Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/RedTeam/

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.

🚨 MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)

You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.

1. Send voice notification:

   bashCopy code
   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the RedTeam skill to ACTION"}' \
     > /dev/null 2>&1 &
   

2. Output text notification:

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

This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.

RedTeam Skill

What It Does

Attacks ideas, strategies, and plans to find their weak points before reality does. It breaks an argument into atomic claims, deploys many parallel expert agents (engineers, architects, pentesters, interns) to stress-test each one, then synthesizes the findings into a steelman of the argument plus the strongest counter-argument against it.

The Problem

People fall in love with their own plans. Once you've committed to an idea, your brain hunts for reasons it works and skips past the reasons it doesn't — and the people around you are often too polite or too aligned to push hard. So flawed strategies sail through unchallenged until they fail in production, in the market, or in the meeting where someone finally asks the hard question. This skill is the hard question, run many ways at once: it attacks the argument deliberately and at volume so the weak points surface while they're still cheap to fix.

How It Works

Military-grade adversarial analysis using parallel agent deployment. It breaks arguments into atomic components, attacks from many expert perspectives (engineers, architects, pentesters, interns), synthesizes findings, and produces sharp counter-arguments alongside the steelman version of the case. Targets arguments, not network vulnerabilities.

Workflow Routing

Route to the appropriate workflow based on the request.

When executing a workflow, output this notification directly:

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

Quick Reference

The deliverable (ParallelAnalysis): the strongest steelman of the argument and the strongest surviving counter-argument against it, each an 8-point story explanation (12-16 words per point), attacking real weaknesses not strawmen, ranked by severity.

Context Files

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

Examples

Attack an architecture proposal:

Copy 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:

Copy 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:

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

Gotchas

• RedTeam is for attacking IDEAS, not systems. This skill finds flaws in arguments, strategies, and plans — not network vulnerabilities.
• 32 adversarial agents generate volume — not all findings are equal. Rank by severity, discard noise.
• The goal is to strengthen, not destroy. Present weaknesses constructively with remediation paths.

Execution Log

After completing any workflow, append a single JSONL entry:

bashCopy code
echo '{"ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","skill":"RedTeam","workflow":"WORKFLOW_USED","input":"8_WORD_SUMMARY","status":"ok|error","duration_s":SECONDS}' >> ~/.claude/LIFEOS/MEMORY/SKILLS/execution.jsonl

Replace WORKFLOW_USED with the workflow executed, 8_WORD_SUMMARY with a brief input description, and SECONDS with approximate wall-clock time. Log status: "error" if the workflow failed.
