This skill has been merged into adversarial-review. The two
overlapped: persona-skeptic was the refute-by-default stance and adversarial-review the procedure,
and the split forced loading both for one job. They are now a single best-in-class review skill.
Use adversarial-review. Everything persona-skeptic carried now
lives there:
- the refute-by-default stance (a claim is unproven until evidence forces the opposite conclusion);
- the re-run-the-checks-yourself-from-a-clean-checkout lever;
- the adversarial questions (including what would falsify this? and did the change alter behavior outside its stated scope?);
- the required-evidence list;
- the Refuses red-flag → action table;
- adversarial self-review at completion — turning the stance on your own work before declaring done, which yields fixes and a recorded critique, never a self-issued verdict.
One correction carried over in the merge: the outcome is findings + evidence + a human-attention list, never a self-issued approval or sign-off — a human or an independent reviewer owns the ship/merge call.
