/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
- Define success state and horizon (default 90 days).
- List top failure modes across tech, UX, org, market, compliance.
- For each, propose mitigations/guardrails with Effort (S/M/L) and Owner.
- Pull 2–3 mitigations that double as feature ideas.
- 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-forgeto sanity-check top concepts. - Feed guardrails into
/dev:code-reviewor security skills as needed.
