- description: "- Five Hard Questions — раз в месяц (или по запросу) брейн САМ задаёт Антону 5 трудных вопросов по его же убеждениям и кодексу (belief-* + concept-bible-*), где он давно НЕ пересматривал позицию.

- version: 1.0.0

+ description: >-

+ Have the second brain ask the owner five hard questions about their own long-held beliefs and

+ codex entries that have not been revisited, so assumptions stop fossilizing. Monthly or on

+ demand. Triggers: "/five-hard", "challenge my beliefs", "pressure-test my views".

- # /five-hard — пять трудных вопросов

+ # /five-hard — five hard questions

- > 🧒 К Антону — в конце recap «Простыми словами».

+ > 🧒 When reporting to a non-technical operator, end with a child-simple "In plain words" recap in their language.

- **Зачем:** identity-слой (`belief-*` + `concept-bible-*`, ~24 заметки) = «как я думаю».

- Опасно, если часть уже неверна, а никто не проверил. Брейн сам инициирует pressure-test.

+ **Why:** the identity layer (`belief-*` + `concept-bible-*`, ~24 notes) is "how I think".

+ That gets dangerous once part of it is wrong and nobody has checked. Here the brain itself starts the pressure-test.

## Run

- `python "$IMPORTS_ROOT/five_hard_pick.py"` → 5 самых застоявшихся (oldest mtime) заметок

- → `$IMPORTS_ROOT/_five_hard_pick.json`. Override: env `FIVE_HARD_N=7`.

+ `python "$IMPORTS_ROOT/five_hard_pick.py"` -> the 5 most stagnant notes (oldest mtime)

+ -> `$IMPORTS_ROOT/_five_hard_pick.json`. Override: env `FIVE_HARD_N=7`.

- ## Вопросы (Opus-качество — identity-синтез, не грунт)

- Прочитай каждую заметку ЦЕЛИКОМ и дай ОДИН трудный вопрос на каждую:

+ ## The questions (top-model quality — identity synthesis, not grunt work)

+ Read each note IN FULL and give ONE hard question per note:

```

- N. **[<stem>]** — <тезис Антона своими словами>

- Вопрос: <острый сократический, способный заставить пересмотреть>

- Почему трудно: <какой контр-факт/тенденция могла бы перевернуть>

+ N. **[<stem>]** — <the owner's thesis in your own words>

+ Question: <sharp, Socratic, capable of forcing a rethink>

+ Why it is hard: <which counter-fact or trend could flip it>

```

- Стиль: сократично, не «ты неправ», а «откуда уверен сегодня?»; опирайся на КОНКРЕТНЫЕ свежие

- сигналы; `epistemic-neutrality`; бей в НЕПРОВЕРЕННУЮ грань (секция «Напряжение / нюанс»),

- не в отрефлексированную. Валидный ответ: «правило стоит» (`bible-as-prompt`).

+ Style: Socratic — not "you are wrong" but "what makes you sure today?"; lean on CONCRETE recent

+ signals; `epistemic-neutrality`; aim at the UNTESTED edge (the "tension / nuance" section),

+ not at the part already reflected on. "The rule still stands" is a valid answer (`bible-as-prompt`).

- ## Запись ответа (длинная память; backup-first: vault_backup.py)

- → `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/04-Coach/_Five-Hard/five-hard-YYYY-MM-DD.md`

+ ## Recording the answer (long memory; backup-first: vault_backup.py)

+ -> `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/04-Coach/_Five-Hard/five-hard-YYYY-MM-DD.md`

Frontmatter: title, date, `type: five-hard`, `source: claude-session`,

- `tags: [five-hard, coach, identity-layer]`. Тело: вопросы + ответы Антона дословно;

- изменил позицию → предложи diff к belief/bible с `supersedes:` (через `/intake`). NO 🧒 в заметке.

+ `tags: [five-hard, coach, identity-layer]`. Body: the questions + the owner's answers verbatim;

+ if they changed position, propose a diff to the belief/bible note with `supersedes:` (via `/intake`). NO 🧒 block inside the note.

## Scheduled twin

- Cron `five-hard-monthly`: 1-е число 05:25 Lisbon (окно брифингов, `routines-run-at-night`).

- Picker → вопросы (Opus-субагент) → **TG чат 03** через `python $USERPROFILE/.claude/scripts/bus_ping.py --post "..."`

- (канон `cc-alerts-to-chat-03`; Saved ⛔) + «отвечай голосом/текстом — запишу в волт».

- Manual twin = этот скилл; single source of truth = picker.

+ Cron `five-hard-monthly`: 1st of the month, 05:25 Lisbon (the briefing window, `routines-run-at-night`).

+ Picker -> questions (top-model subagent) -> **the fleet log chat** via `python $USERPROFILE/.claude/scripts/bus_ping.py --post "..."`

+ (canon: alerts go to the fleet log chat, never to Saved Messages) + "answer by voice or text, I will file it into the vault".

+ The manual twin is this skill; the single source of truth is the picker.
