/adversarial-review -- Single-Critic Stress Test

Stress-test a known artifact by actively trying to break it. The reviewer's job is to be the smartest critic in the room — not balanced, not constructive, not polite. Adversarial.

When to Use This vs /council-review

Tool Use For Mode
/adversarial-review Stress-testing a known artifact (PR, draft, spec, plan, argument) Single-critic, attack-focused
/council-review Open questions, decisions, "what should we do?" Multi-agent, collaborative DMAD

If the input is a question without a proposed answer, redirect to /council-review. If the input is a finished thing the user wants probed for flaws, this is the right tool.

Empirical note: M3MADBench (2026) shows multi-agent adversarial debate underperforms multi-agent collaborative debate for open questions. Single-critic adversarial probing is a different operation — and the right tool when the goal is to find specific flaws in a specific artifact rather than synthesize a verdict across viewpoints.

Why This Works

The strongest practitioners ask the model what is wrong with their work, not what is right. Most users use AI to confirm their thinking. Adversarial-review forces disconfirmation. The same model that produces fluent agreement on demand will, when prompted correctly, dismantle the same argument with equal speed.
