Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/skills/CORE/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/RedTeam/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

RedTeam Skill

Military-grade adversarial analysis using parallel agent deployment. Breaks arguments into atomic components, attacks from 32 expert perspectives (engineers, architects, pentesters, interns), synthesizes findings, and produces devastating counter-arguments with steelman representations.

Voice Notification

When executing a workflow, do BOTH:

  1. Send voice notification:

    curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow from the RedTeam skill"}' \
      > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    
  2. Output text notification:

    Running the **WorkflowName** workflow from the **RedTeam** skill...
    

Full documentation: ~/.claude/skills/CORE/SkillNotifications.md

Workflow Routing

Route to the appropriate workflow based on the request.

When executing a workflow, output this notification directly:

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow from the **RedTeam** skill...
TriggerWorkflow
Red team analysis (stress-test existing content)Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
Adversarial validation (produce new content via competition)Workflows/AdversarialValidation.md

Quick Reference

WorkflowPurposeOutput
ParallelAnalysisStress-test existing contentSteelman + Counter-argument (8-points each)
AdversarialValidationProduce new content via competitionSynthesized solution from competing proposals

The Five-Phase Protocol (ParallelAnalysis):

  1. Decomposition - Break into 24 atomic claims
  2. Parallel Analysis - 32 agents examine strengths AND weaknesses
  3. Synthesis - Identify convergent insights
  4. Steelman - Strongest version of the argument
  5. Counter-Argument - Strongest rebuttal

Context Files

  • Philosophy.md - Core philosophy, success criteria, agent types
  • Integration.md - Skill integration, FirstPrinciples usage, output format

Examples

Attack an architecture proposal:

User: "red team this microservices migration plan"
--> Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
--> Returns steelman + devastating counter-argument (8 points each)

Devil's advocate on a business decision:

User: "poke holes in my plan to raise prices 20%"
--> Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md
--> Surfaces the ONE core issue that could collapse the plan

Adversarial validation for content:

User: "battle of bots - which approach is better for this feature?"
--> Workflows/AdversarialValidation.md
--> Synthesizes best solution from competing ideas
