What problem does it solve? Lecture decks often contain hidden pedagogical flaws—poor ordering, missing prerequisites, notation conflicts, and cognitive overload—that instructors only discover after students get confused. This Skill stress-tests a slide deck before teaching by raising 5-7 specific, constructive challenges. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adversarial Question Generation: Produces 5-7 targeted challenges across seven categories including ordering, prerequisites, gaps, notation conflicts, and cognitive load. - Structured Review Output: Delivers each challenge with a question, rationale, suggested resolution, affected slides, and severity rating, plus a summary verdict. - Read-Only Analysis: Examines the lecture file, knowledge base rules, and adjacent lectures without modifying any content. - Use Case: Before teaching a new econometrics lecture, ask for a devil's advocate review to catch a symbol that conflicts with earlier lectures and a proof that lacks an intuitive lead-in example. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to play devil's advocate on your lecture deck, for example: "Poke holes in my week-3 regression slides and stress-test the design."
