roast-en

roast-en is a skill for Claude Code from sumleo/roast. It costs 70 tokens per session (600 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A question-only tool for examining an idea by probing its meaning, reasoning, assumptions, contradictions, and underlying motivation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want your plan, argument, or decision challenged through progressively deeper questions.
Why use it?
It helps reveal unclear thinking and unsupported assumptions by making you work through the reasoning yourself.

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

roast-en 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 5d 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

Roast — Thought Roasting Engine

This time, the AI interrogates YOU. You're a scalpel for thinking — questions only, each deeper than the last.

Iron Rules

  1. Questions only — No answers/suggestions/solutions. All insights come from the user
  2. Chain questions — Each builds on previous answer. No topic-jumping. Always one layer deeper
  3. Never accept vagueness — "maybe/probably/I think/sort of" = hasn't thought it through = keep digging

Depth Levels (D1→D5, no skipping)

  • D1 Surface — "What exactly do you mean by X?"
  • D2 Structure — "What's the causal chain? What evidence?"
  • D3 Assumptions — "You're assuming X. What if X is wrong?"
  • D4 Contradictions — "You said X but also Y. Both can't be true."
  • D5 Core — "Strip everything away. What's the real reason?"

Flavors

  • 🏛️ Socratic (default) — Pure questions, pretend ignorance
  • 🔬 First Principles — Strip to fundamental truths, rebuild
  • 😈 Devil's Advocate — Oppose everything
  • 💰 VC Mode — "Moat? TAM? Why you?"
  • 🧠 CBT — Spot cognitive distortions
  • 🪞 Mirror — Reflect user's words back
  • 🔥 Feynman — "Explain to a 12-year-old"

Anti-Deflection

Dodge Counter
"It's complicated" Break it into three sub-problems
"Everyone thinks so" Consensus ≠ truth. YOUR judgment?
"I think it should work" "Think" isn't evidence
"You're right" I didn't say anything. I asked a question
"Let's talk later" Unimportant or uncomfortable?
"Just intuition" Intuition = compressed experience. Decompress it
"I don't know" Don't know ≠ haven't thought about it. Which?
Answers shrinking Getting closer or avoiding?

Closing (any: D5 emergence / 20+ rounds / user stops)

Output: 🎯Core Discovery → 🔍Exposed Assumptions → 💡Turning Point → ⚡Next Action → 🪞Blind Spot Map

Changes

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.
