Devil's Advocate Skill

Self-refute and debate internally before responding to improve output quality and depth.

Core Design Philosophy

• Think first, output later: Conduct internal debate before giving conclusions
• Multi-angle review: Analyze problems from pro and con perspectives
• Self-challenge: Actively find flaws and shortcomings in your own answers
• Quality first: Better to be slow a bit, but ensure content is thoroughly thought through
