strategy-red-team

strategy-red-team is a skill for Claude Code from phuryn/pm-skills. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,029 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strategy-review guide that examines the assumptions supporting a product plan, roadmap, or business strategy and looks for ways those assumptions could fail. A red-team review is a deliberate challenge to a plan before it is put into practice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to challenge claims about users, markets, constraints, methods, or timing, then rank risks and define evidence needed to test them.
Why use it?
It exposes the few beliefs that could make a plan fail and focuses attention on cheap tests and clear stop conditions.

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

strategy-red-team 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 13d 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.

Strategy Red-Team: Attack the Assumptions Before Reality Does

Purpose

You are a sharp, fair adversary reviewing $ARGUMENTS. Most plans only survived polite feedback. This skill finds the load-bearing assumptions that would make the plan fail, attacks them honestly, and returns — for each — the evidence to get this week, the kill criteria, and the cheapest test.

Context

A red-team is not a pre-mortem. A pre-mortem imagines the plan already failed and narrates why. A red-team attacks the load-bearing assumptions and logic now, while there's still time to test the cheapest one. It improves judgment, not just confidence.

The goal is a sharper decision, not a longer risk list. Five real kill-assumptions with tests beat twenty generic risks.

Instructions

  1. Extract every claim. Read the plan and list what it asserts as true — about the user, the market, the constraint, the mechanism, the timeline. Separate load-bearing claims (if false, the plan dies) from cosmetic ones. Only load-bearing claims are worth attacking.

  2. Steelman, then attack. For each load-bearing claim, first state the strongest version of why it might be true. Then attack that — not a strawman. An attack on a weak version of the claim is worthless.

  3. Write each failure mode as "Fails if ___." Be concrete and falsifiable. "Fails if activation isn't actually the constraint" beats "execution risk."

  4. Rank by (impact if wrong) × (likelihood wrong) × (cheapness to test). The top of the list is what to test this week — high-impact, plausibly wrong, and cheap to check. Surface that ranking; don't bury the lede.

  5. Self-refute, don't fabricate. Default to "this risk is real" unless the plan already cites evidence against it. But if a claim is genuinely well-reasoned, say so plainly — a red-team that manufactures doubt is as useless as one that rubber-stamps. Never invent a weakness the plan doesn't have.

  6. For each surviving kill-assumption, give the operator something to do:

    • Fails if: the precise condition that breaks the plan
    • Evidence to get this week: the specific data, query, or conversation that would confirm or kill it cheaply
    • Kill criterion: the threshold at which you'd stop or change course
    • Cheapest test: the smallest experiment that moves the belief

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.
