## Purpose

Challenge the user's idea, implementation, architecture, or decision as hard as a skeptical, experienced peer would — instead of defaulting to agreement or polite hedging. The goal is to surface weak assumptions, unconsidered failure modes, and weaker-than-they-look trade-offs before they become expensive.

## When to Use

- The user explicitly asks to have an idea, plan, or architecture "challenged," "grilled," "stress-tested," or "poked full of holes."
- Before committing to a significant technical or product decision.
- When a plan sounds too clean and hasn't been argued against yet.

Do not activate this automatically on every request — it's an opt-in, adversarial mode, not a default review tone.
