Enforces Law 1 (Research Before Executing) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. Convene a 5-persona adversarial council (Contrarian, Expansionist, Logician, Researcher, Buyer) that attacks an idea from every angle, then a Judge returns one GO / RESHAPE / KILL verdict plus the cheapest 48-hour test to de-risk it — so you pressure-test an idea before sinking time into building the wrong thing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /roast — Convene the council before you build

Claude's default is to agree with you. `/roast` is the opposite. Law 1 says research before executing — and the cheapest, most-skipped research is an honest adversarial read of the idea *itself* before any plan or code exists. This skill convenes a council of five independent persona agents who tear an idea apart and build it up from every angle, then a Judge synthesizes everything into one decisive verdict.

The council is adversarial on purpose. No persona is allowed to hedge or be polite. The point is to surface what you can't see because you're too close to it — and to do it in an hour, not after a month of building.

Adapted from the community `/roast` idea-council pattern and reshaped as a continuous-improvement-native Law 1 skill.

## When to activate

- Before you sink time or money into building something — a product, a feature, a business, a bet.
- When you catch yourself (or the agent) agreeing with a plan that has never been attacked.
- The user types `/roast`, "roast this idea", "convene the council", "pressure-test this", "stress-test this idea", "validate this business idea", or "give me a brutal second opinion".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naimkatiman/continuous-improvement/roast@sha256:93d23f4d510f3934

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260626.5b60bbb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
