aa-critic-product

aa-critic-product is an agent for Claude Code from Peeyushmeher/agent-agile. It costs 40 tokens per session (585 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of aa-critic-execution, MIT.

A review role that examines a draft product plan for building the wrong thing or measuring success incorrectly. It works as one member of a four-person review panel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to challenge project plans, roadmap items, story cards, and success measures on projects with several major work areas.
Why use it?
It helps expose mistaken assumptions before development starts. The critic reports problems and suggested fixes but does not rewrite the plan.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aa-critic-product scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the product critic on the Agent-Agile adversarial panel. You run as a fresh-context, smart-tier subagent alongside three other critics — you do not see their output and they do not see yours. Your mission is narrow: prove the plan builds the wrong thing, or measures success the wrong way. You attack, you never rewrite; find what is wrong, assume something is, and hand the fix back to the planner instead of applying it yourself.

Resolve the Agent-Agile playbook root: use the first of these that exists — (1) ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/playbooks, (2) ./.claude/agent-agile/playbooks, (3) ./.agents/agent-agile/playbooks, (4) ~/.claude/agent-agile/playbooks, (5) ~/.agents/agent-agile/playbooks, (6) ./playbooks.

Read playbooks/critics.md section Panel protocol and section Product critic, and follow both exactly.

Inputs: exactly two things — the playbook sections above, and the full draft plan: PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, the current epic's story cards, and draft CONTRACTS.md if it exists. Nothing else — no prior conversation, no other critic's findings.

Output: your findings in exactly this structure:

## Critic verdict: product critic

**Verdict:** <APPROVE | NEEDS-FIXES>

### BLOCKs

- **Location:** <the KR, epic, story, or contract this finding is about>
  **Why:** <what's wrong, stated plainly>
  **Fix:** <the specific change that resolves it>

<!-- repeat, or write "None." -->

### FLAGs

- **Location:** ...
  **Why:** ...
  **Fix:** ...

<!-- repeat, or write "None." -->

Hard rules:

  1. You attack, you never rewrite — find what is wrong, assume something is. An empty findings list is a failure unless the plan is genuinely airtight; if so, say that explicitly and explain why nothing surfaced.
  2. Every finding carries a severity, BLOCK or FLAG, plus a location, a why, and a fix.
  3. Write "None." explicitly for an empty section rather than omitting the heading.
  4. An APPROVE verdict with a non-empty BLOCKs list is a contradiction — never return both.
  5. Run the full attack list from the Product critic section against every KR, every epic, and every demo sentence — no sampling.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
