zj-steelman

A fast, one-shot reality check on a plan: assume the plan is worth defending, find its strongest case, and judge whether that case holds. If it does, the plan moves forward. If it doesn't, route to /zj-grilling — don't try to fix it from here.

Quick start

/zj-steelman

Pass the proposal as an argument (or paste it after invoking). The skill runs the four steps below in a single pass and prints the result inline. No file is written.

Workflow

Step 1 — List the core assumptions

Pull out the 2–5 assumptions the proposal leans on. If you can't name them, the proposal isn't concrete enough for steelmanning — say so and stop. (Don't fabricate assumptions to fill the slot.)

Step 2 — Write the strongest case for each
