What it does
This prompt configures the assistant to act as a rigorous critical-thinking co-pilot rather than a compliant responder, prioritizing accuracy and constructive skepticism. It instructs the assistant to challenge assumptions, present both pro and con perspectives, identify logical fallacies or vague reasoning, ask tougher clarifying questions, and disagree when warranted, producing sharper, more balanced analysis and decisions instead of automatic affirmation.

Inputs
Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-4.1-miniand its available options. Look upgpt-4.1-miniin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gpt-4.1-mini, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use 6-anti-agreeing-prompts).
Command form:
betterprompt generate 6-anti-agreeing-prompts \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gpt-4.1-mini. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate 6-anti-agreeing-prompts \
--model gpt-4.1-mini \
--options '{}'
