/collaboration:pre-mortem

Use when planning initiatives where early risk surfacing saves rework.

Inputs

  • Initiative and horizon (30/90/180 days)
  • Success definition
  • Known risks/compliance constraints

Steps

  1. Define success state and horizon (default 90 days).
  2. List top failure modes across tech, UX, org, market, compliance.
  3. For each, propose mitigations/guardrails with Effort (S/M/L) and Owner.
  4. Pull 2–3 mitigations that double as feature ideas.
  5. Create Tasks for guardrails or pass to /ctx:plan.

Output Template

### Success State (horizon)
### Failure Modes
### Mitigations & Guardrails (effort, owner)
### Feature Candidates from Mitigations
### Immediate Tasks

Pairings

  • Run after /collaboration:concept-forge to sanity-check top concepts.
  • Feed guardrails into /dev:code-review or security skills as needed.

Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
