skill-pressure-test
Host: Codex CLI — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than
/octo:*slash commands. Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. For host tool equivalents, seeskills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md.
Pressure Test
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or design until you both reach a shared understanding of it. Walk each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one at a time.
This is not brainstorming. skill-thought-partner opens a space up and looks for
what might be there; this closes one down and looks for what is wrong with it.
Use this when there is already a position on the table and the risk is that it is
wrong in a way nobody has said out loud.
Adapted from the grilling skill in
mattpocock/skills (MIT).
