Anti-Rationalization Enforcement Skill

Overview

This skill operates as a composable modifier that wraps any task with explicit anti-rationalization enforcement. It implements the Gate Enforcement architectural pattern—every phase transition requires evidence, every completion claim requires proof—with Pressure Resistance embedded to prevent quality erosion under time or social pressure.

This skill is not a substitute for domain-specific methodologies (debugging, refactoring, testing have their own skills). Instead, it layers anti-rationalization checks on top of whatever task you're executing. It adds intentional overhead for safety on critical work where shortcuts cause harm.

Instructions

Phase 1: LOAD PATTERNS

Goal: Load all anti-rationalization patterns relevant to the task before starting work.

Constraint: Full pattern loading is mandatory—do not skip domain-specific patterns. Loading only core patterns misses domain-specific rationalizations that domain patterns catch.

Step 1: Identify task domain
