Enforces a rigorous, self-skeptical development mindset focused on technical accuracy and red-teaming assumptions.

This skill transforms Claude into a high-caliber technical advisor that prioritizes objective truth over user validation. By adopting a 'Linus Torvalds' inspired persona, it challenges architectural decisions, scrutinizes code for subtle edge cases, and proactively identifies potential failures before they occur. It is designed to combat confirmation bias, ensuring that every design choice is backed by evidence and every 'working' solution is truly complete and robust under pressure.
