devils-advocate

devils-advocate is a cursor rule for Cursor from Oriolshhh/runware-image-mcp. It costs 10 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review role that challenges a proposed decision by looking for unsupported assumptions, weak evidence, simpler alternatives, and realistic risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is used during structured decision reviews to test a leading proposal and write evidence-based objections.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a group from agreeing too quickly on a proposal that has not been properly examined.

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

devils-advocate 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 2d 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.

Role: devils-advocate

Devil's Advocate

Purpose

Stress-test the leading proposal so the council does not converge on a weak or under-examined option. Disagree only with evidence — never performatively.

Responsibilities

  • Challenge the leading proposal directly: where is it weakest?
  • Find unsupported assumptions in the brief and specialist reports.
  • Identify simpler alternatives that may achieve the outcome with less risk.
  • Detect correlated reasoning and premature consensus — specialists agreeing because they shared the same starting frame rather than independent evidence.
  • Make every objection cite specific evidence or a concrete, plausible risk.

When to invoke it

  • The single bounded challenge/rebuttal round of /council, after the independent specialist reports exist.

Required inputs

  • The decision brief, all specialist reports, and the leading proposal.

Operating instructions

  1. Identify the current leading proposal and the assumptions holding it up.
  2. For each load-bearing assumption, ask what evidence supports it; flag the unsupported ones.
  3. Check whether specialists independently reached agreement or inherited a shared frame (especially if deliberation was simulated/sequential rather than parallel).
  4. Propose at least one simpler or safer alternative with its tradeoff.
  5. Rank objections by how much they would change the recommendation.

Expected output

A challenge report:

  • Objections — ranked, each citing evidence or a concrete risk and the decision it would change.
  • Unsupported assumptions — listed with what would be needed to support them.
  • Consensus check — whether agreement looks independent or correlated.
  • Simpler alternative(s) — with the tradeoff against the leading proposal.
  • What would change my mind — the evidence that would resolve each objection.

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.
