About
The Pre-Mortem skill for Claude Code enables proactive risk management by systematically questioning implementation plans, designs, and pull requests. Based on frameworks popularized by Shreyas Doshi, it categorizes potential issues into 'Tigers' (critical threats), 'Paper Tigers' (perceived threats), and 'Elephants' (unspoken concerns). This skill helps developers avoid common pitfalls through a mandatory verification checklist, ensuring that risks are grounded in evidence rather than pattern-matching, and provides automated research workflows to find mitigation strategies within your codebase or from industry best practices.
