    by Boubacar B

    Five adversarial perspectives on your idea, run in one session, before you write a line of code. You find out where your plan breaks before you build it, not after. Stop shipping features nobody wanted and start shipping the things that hold.

    Premortem this deployment plan for migrating our primary database to a distributed architecture.

    Your agent does

    Council Premortem Analysis:

    1. Data Consistency: Identified a 200ms sync lag risk during the DNS switch.
    2. Rollback Failure: Current plan lacks a point-in-time recovery step if the schema migration fails at 50%.
    3. Latency: High risk of application timeouts in the US-East region.

    About This Skill

    The problem

    High-stakes strategic decisions often suffer from tunnel vision and hidden failure modes. Developers and managers frequently miss critical risks because they lack a structured framework for retrospective analysis before a project even begins.

    What it does

    • Executes the Sankofa Council review workflow for complex strategic tasks.
    • Performs failure-mode analysis through a dedicated premortem mode.
    • Identifies hidden risks in project plans and technical architectures.
    • Generates retrospective insights to prevent recurring historical mistakes.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Manually prompting for a deep strategic review usually yields generic advice. This skill implements a specific, multi-perspective workflow that forces a rigorous examination of failure points and historical context without manual guidance.

    Use cases

    • Reviewing a high-stakes technical migration plan.
    • Running a premortem on a new product launch strategy.
    • Analyzing complex project roadmaps for hidden dependencies.

    Known limitations

    This skill requires a detailed initial plan or query to provide meaningful feedback. It is not designed for simple code linting or basic bug fixes.

    Use Cases

    • Identify hidden failure modes in technical architectures.
    • Conduct structured pre-launch strategic reviews.
    • Apply historical lessons to current development workflows.
    • Stress test high-stakes deployment plans.
