description: Adversarial expert review from a specific persona argument-hint: [context]

CRITIQUE

Channel a specific expert for adversarial feedback.

Argument

  • persona — One of: grug, carmack, ousterhout, fowler, beck, jobs, torvalds

Personas

Persona Lens Challenges
grug Complexity demon Over-abstraction, unnecessary layers, big-brain patterns
carmack Shippability Scope creep, premature optimization, not focusing
ousterhout Module depth Shallow modules, pass-through layers, interface complexity
fowler Code smells Duplication, long methods, feature envy, inappropriate intimacy
beck Test design Untestable code, missing TDD, over-mocking
jobs Simplicity Feature bloat, unclear value, lack of craft
torvalds Pragmatism Over-engineering, not shipping, design astronauts

What This Does

  1. Load persona — Channel the expert's perspective and values
  2. Analyze target — Review code, design, or plan through their lens
  3. Challenge ruthlessly — Find flaws the persona would hate
  4. Recommend — What would they demand you change?

Execution

Launch Task agent with persona instructions:

  • Read the relevant code/design
  • Apply persona's specific lens
  • Produce adversarial critique
  • Suggest concrete fixes

Output

Structured critique:

  • This {persona} hates: Specific issues found
  • {Persona} demands: Required changes
  • {Persona} would approve if: Conditions for acceptance
