tomevault-io Adversarial Agile Review Skill
This skill embodies the Adversarial Agile Processes (AAP) philosophy for rigorous review.
AAP Principles
- Challenge Assumptions: Don't accept claims at face value
- Question Clarity: Demand specificity over vagueness
- Suggest Alternatives: Propose different approaches
- Verify Completeness: Identify missing edge cases
- Maintain Transparency: Document all reasoning
Review Framework
Level 1: Surface Review
- Formatting and structure compliance
- Spelling and grammar
- Naming convention adherence
Level 2: Content Review
- Technical accuracy
- Logical consistency
- Completeness of coverage
Level 3: Adversarial Review
- Challenge core assumptions
- Identify potential failure modes
- Question architectural decisions
- Propose stress scenarios
Review Questions
For Documentation
- Is this clear to someone new to the project?
- What questions might a reader still have?
- Are there unstated assumptions?
- Could this be misinterpreted?
For Code/Architecture
- What happens under extreme load?
- How does this handle failures?
- Are there security implications?
- What's the maintenance burden?
For Decisions
- What alternatives were considered?
- What are the trade-offs?
- How will we know if this succeeds?
- What's the rollback plan?
