pre-mortem

What problem does it solve? Plans, launches, and decisions often carry hidden assumptions and blind spots that only surface after failure. This Skill applies the premortem method: it assumes your plan has already failed six months from now and works backward to expose every plausible reason why, before you commit. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context-Gated Analysis: Gathers the minimum context (what it is, who it affects, what success looks like) before running, so failure scenarios are specific rather than generic. - Parallel Deep-Dive Agents: Launches one sub-agent per identified failure reason to produce failure stories, underlying assumptions, and early warning signs. - Actionable Synthesis: Delivers the most likely failure, the most dangerous failure, the hidden assumption, a concrete revised plan, and a pre-launch checklist. - Use Case: Before launching a $297 workshop, run a premortem to discover that your target buyers need spending approval, then pivot to a $47 pilot to validate the real audience. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a premortem on your plan, for example by saying "premortem this: I'm launching a paid workshop for marketing directors next month."
