What is the main benefit of the Critical Peer Personality?

It eliminates the 'yes-man' bias common in AI models, providing a skeptical, professional perspective that forces you to defend and refine your technical decisions.

Does this skill ever praise the user?

No. It provides factual, objective assessments like 'The logic is correct' or 'The test passes' rather than using subjective praise or cheerleading.

Why does this skill refuse to provide time estimates?

To maintain a focus on technical excellence and accuracy, this persona only provides effort or duration estimates when explicitly requested by the user.

Can this skill be used with other technical skills?

Yes, it pairs effectively with TDD and software design skills by acting as a rigorous gatekeeper for process adherence and code quality.
