Get only the weaknesses in something you made — no praise, no encouragement padding, just the holes and how to fix them. Use when asked to poke holes in this, tell me what's wrong with this, critique this honestly, or don't be nice about it. Produces a focused list of the real problems in your draft, plan, argument, or code — ranked by severity, each with why it's a problem and a concrete fix — deliberately stripping the 'this is great!' padding that AI and polite humans add and you don't need.

# Poke Holes In This

When you want to improve something, praise is noise. This is pure critique mode: you paste what you made, and it returns only the problems — ranked, specific, and each with a fix. No "great start!", no compliment sandwich, no softening. It's the honest second read you asked for, doing the one job you asked it to do.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The holes** — the real weaknesses, gaps, errors, and soft spots, specifically
- **Severity ranking** — which problems are serious vs. minor, so you fix the right ones first
- **Why each is a problem** — the concrete consequence, not just "this is weak"
- **A fix for each** — a specific way to address it, not just a complaint
- **Nothing else** — no praise padding, no encouragement filler
