# 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**:
```bash
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**:
```

| Trigger | Workflow |
|---------|----------|
| Red team analysis (stress-test existing content) | `Workflows/ParallelAnalysis.md` |
| Adversarial validation (produce new content via competition) | `Workflows/AdversarialValidation.md` |
---
## Quick Reference
| Workflow | Purpose | Output |
|----------|---------|--------|
| **ParallelAnalysis** | Stress-test existing content | Steelman + Counter-argument (8-points each) |
| **AdversarialValidation** | Produce new content via competition | Synthesized 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

## 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
```

This skill performs military-grade adversarial analysis using a 32-agent ensemble to stress-test arguments, designs, and decisions. It decomposes input into atomic claims, runs parallel adversarial inspection, synthesizes convergent insights, and returns both a steelman and a forceful counter-argument. The output highlights the most critical failure modes and actionable mitigation ideas.
The workflow first decomposes the target into atomic components and assigns 32 specialized agents to examine strengths and weaknesses in parallel. Agents cover perspectives such as engineers, architects, pentesters, product, and junior reviewers. A synthesis step identifies convergent findings, then the skill produces an optimized steelman (strongest framing) and a prioritized counter-argument (deepest rebuttal) for each key point.
How long does a typical analysis take?
Complex inputs with detailed context typically take longer; expect richer parallel analyses to need more processing time than a quick critique. Provide concise inputs for faster runs.
Can I customize agent priorities or preferences?
Yes. You can specify perspective weightings and priorities in your request so the ensemble emphasizes security, cost, UX, or other trade-offs.
What output formats are produced?
The skill returns a decomposed claim list, synthesized convergent findings, an 8-point steelman per major claim, and an 8-point counter-argument with prioritized mitigations.
