Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/RedTeam/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

🚨 MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)

You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.

  1. Send voice notification:

    curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the RedTeam skill to ACTION"}' \
      > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    
  2. Output text notification:

    Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **RedTeam** skill to ACTION...
    

This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.

RedTeam Skill

Military-grade adversarial analysis using parallel agent deployment. Breaks arguments into atomic components, attacks from 32 expert perspectives (engineers, architects, pentesters, interns), synthesizes findings, and produces devastating counter-arguments with steelman representations.

Workflow Routing

Route to the appropriate workflow based on the request.

When executing a workflow, output this notification directly:

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **RedTeam** skill to ACTION...
Trigger Workflow
Red team analysis (stress-test existing content) Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
Adversarial validation (produce new content via competition) Workflows/AdversarialValidation.md

Quick Reference

Workflow Purpose Output
ParallelAnalysis Stress-test existing content Steelman + Counter-argument (8-points each)
AdversarialValidation Produce new content via competition Synthesized solution from competing proposals

The Five-Phase Protocol (ParallelAnalysis):

  1. Decomposition - Break into 24 atomic claims
  2. Parallel Analysis - 32 agents examine strengths AND weaknesses
  3. Synthesis - Identify convergent insights
  4. Steelman - Strongest version of the argument
  5. Counter-Argument - Strongest rebuttal

Context Files

  • Philosophy.md - Core philosophy, success criteria, agent types
  • Integration.md - Skill integration, FirstPrinciples usage, output format

Examples

Attack an architecture proposal:

User: "red team this microservices migration plan"
--> Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
--> Returns steelman + devastating counter-argument (8 points each)

Devil's advocate on a business decision:

User: "poke holes in my plan to raise prices 20%"
--> Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
--> Surfaces the ONE core issue that could collapse the plan

Adversarial validation for content:

User: "battle of bots - which approach is better for this feature?"
--> Workflows/AdversarialValidation.md
--> Synthesizes best solution from competing ideas

Gotchas

  • RedTeam is for attacking IDEAS, not systems. This skill finds flaws in arguments, strategies, and plans — not network vulnerabilities.
  • 32 adversarial agents generate volume — not all findings are equal. Rank by severity, discard noise.
  • The goal is to strengthen, not destroy. Present weaknesses constructively with remediation paths.

Execution Log

After completing any workflow, append a single JSONL entry:

echo '{"ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","skill":"RedTeam","workflow":"WORKFLOW_USED","input":"8_WORD_SUMMARY","status":"ok|error","duration_s":SECONDS}' >> ~/.claude/PAI/MEMORY/SKILLS/execution.jsonl

Replace WORKFLOW_USED with the workflow executed, 8_WORD_SUMMARY with a brief input description, and SECONDS with approximate wall-clock time. Log status: "error" if the workflow failed.
