A Claude Code skill set that makes Claude argue with itself before it agrees with you
This repository also configures its own agents. See what elenchus tells them →
Skill Claude Code
Use when the user wants a build or architecture idea stress-tested before they commit to building it — "help me plan/design this app", "design the architecture for X", "review my architecture before I build", "is my mental model of X sound", "I want to build Y because Z — poke holes in it". For the still-articulating…
Skill Claude Code
Use when a request asks to convene the council, stress-test a premise, or get a multi-seat anonymized critique before committing to a design — or when an Elenchus front-end skill (e.g. elenchus-build) needs to run that review. This is the shared engine: front ends call it; it is not triggered directly by ordinary…
Skill Claude Code
Use when the user wants to build a CLOSED CORPUS of real, verified resources or links by fanning out parallel agents — "gather as many X links as possible", "harvest a curated set of sources", "build a closed space of playlists/repos/feeds for a model (or person) to choose from", "collect verified URLs across these…
Skill Claude Code
Use when you have an approved spec (or firm requirements) for a multi-step build and want the implementation plan itself stress-tested before you execute it — "write the plan and have the council check it", "verify this plan against the spec", "turn this spec into a plan I can trust", or the writing-plans stage of the…
Skill Claude Code
Use when the user wants to research or learn a topic before forming a firm opinion — "I want to learn about X", "help me research Y", "gather a reading list / resources / a study path on Z", "I'm new to X and want to understand it deeply", "convene a research council on X". The research/study front end over the…
Skill Claude Code
Use when the user wants a terminal-UI (TUI) mockup designed and then proven to actually render — pure-ASCII, no framework — before building the real thing. Triggers: "mock up a terminal UI for X", "design a TUI / CLI dashboard I can show someone", "make an ASCII wireframe of this terminal app and make sure it…
Skill Claude Code
Use when a frontend feature has been implemented and you want to verify it actually works in the running browser against its spec/plan — then fix what doesn't — before calling it done. Triggers: "verify my implementation works", "check the frontend against the spec", "did I actually build everything", "finish and…
Skill Claude Code
Use to SHOW the user something in their browser during an Elenchus or brainstorming flow — UI mockups, wireframes, architecture diagrams, side-by-side visual comparisons, design polish — when the content itself is visual and the user would grasp it better by seeing than by reading. The user always ANSWERS in the…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code.
