Expert product strategy advisor for Senior PMs. Use this skill — proactively and without waiting to be asked — whenever defining a product vision, setting quarterly OKRs, building a roadmap, choosing between competing bets, entering a new product area, or when stakeholders disagree on direction. Also triggers for: "what should we prioritize", "we need a north star", "how do we choose between X and Y", "roadmap conflict", "what are our bets this quarter", "strategy alignment", "choosing what NOT to build", "three bets with trade-offs", "stakeholder misalignment on direction", "product direction for next quarter", "OKR planning". Produces a decision-focused strategy doc: North Star metric, Opportunity Tree, three bets with explicit trade-offs (including do nothing), and a recommended bet with its key assumption.

Red-team a PRD, roadmap, or strategy by attacking its load-bearing assumptions before reality does, ranking failure modes by impact, likelihood, and cheapness to test.

Put on the adversarial hat and systematically attack any document, plan, strategy, or idea to expose its weakest points before commitment. Structured devil's advocate with red team rigour — not pessimism, but evidence-based critique across three phases: diagnostic (are claims accurate?), creative (is the problem artificially constrained?), challenge (are solutions robust?). Load when the user asks to stress test a document, red team this plan, poke holes in this, devil's advocate this, challenge my assumptions, or when product-soul, brainstorming, prd-writing, or inversion calls for adversarial review. Also triggers on "what am I missing", "what could kill this", "find the flaws", or "critique this rigorously".
