assumption-buster
Flip, remove, or exaggerate assumptions to unlock new solution angles.
Best use case
assumption-buster is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Flip, remove, or exaggerate assumptions to unlock new solution angles.
Teams using assumption-buster should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# `/collaboration:assumption-buster` Use when the team feels boxed in or every idea sounds the same. ## Inputs - Topic or problem statement - Known assumptions/constraints (even if informal) - Optional mode flag: `--opposite`, `--zero`, or `--10x` ## Steps 1. List core assumptions (facts, beliefs, constraints). 2. Transform each via chosen operator (opposite/zero/10x). 3. Generate 1–2 reframed ideas per transformed assumption. 4. Capture evidence to collect and a fast test for each idea. 5. Pick the most promising 2–3 and move to `/ctx:plan` or Tasks. ## Output Template ``` ### Assumptions ### Transforms (opposite/zero/10x) ### Reframed Ideas - Idea … (evidence, fast test) ### Top Picks ``` ## Pairings - Run before `/collaboration:idea-lab` if you need to loosen constraints. - Feed winners into `/collaboration:concept-forge` to score/prioritize.
