from pre-mortem-skill9
A rigorous decision-making framework that identifies potential failure modes by assuming a project has already failed and working backward.
This skill implements the 'Premortem' technique developed by psychologist Gary Klein. It helps agents move beyond optimistic bias by forcing a frame where a plan, launch, or decision has already failed, thereby triggering 'prospective hindsight' to uncover blind spots and hidden risks.
Use this skill when a user has a high-stakes plan, a product launch, a pricing change, or a strategic pivot where the cost of failure is high and the current plan needs stress-testing.
