Pre-Mortem Skill

Purpose: Is this plan/spec good enough to implement?

Mandatory for 3+ issue epics. Pre-mortem is enforced by hook when /crank is invoked on epics with 3+ child issues. 6/6 consecutive positive ROI. Bypass: --skip-pre-mortem flag or AGENTOPS_SKIP_PRE_MORTEM_GATE=1.

Run /council validate on a plan or spec to get multi-model judgment before committing to implementation.


Quick Start

/pre-mortem                                         # validates most recent plan (inline, no spawning)
/pre-mortem path/to/PLAN.md                         # validates specific plan (inline)
/pre-mortem --deep path/to/SPEC.md                  # 4 judges (thorough review, spawns agents)
/pre-mortem --mixed path/to/PLAN.md                 # cross-vendor (Claude + Codex)
/pre-mortem --preset=architecture path/to/PLAN.md   # architecture-focused review
/pre-mortem --explorers=3 path/to/SPEC.md           # deep investigation of plan
/pre-mortem --debate path/to/PLAN.md                # two-round adversarial review
