What it does
Devils Advocate is an agent skill from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. Adversarial 5-7 question challenge to a deck's pedagogical choices — ordering, prerequisites, cognitive load, motivation. Use when user says "devil's advocate", "poke holes in this deck", "push back on my slides", "stress-test the design", "what would a skeptical student ask?". Read-only; surfaces questions to force rethinking. Lighter than /pedagogy-review.
Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and Load testing. The repository describes itself as: A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics using LaTeX/Beamer + R. Multi-agent review, quality gates, adversarial QA, and replication protocols. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- User says devils advocate
- Poke holes in this deck
- Push back on my slides
- Stress-test the design
Example prompts
- “s advocate”
- “poke holes in this deck”
- “push back on my slides”
- “/devils-advocate”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae72617. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Devils Advocate loads about 641 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Devil's Advocate Review
Critically examine a slide deck and challenge its design with 5-7 specific pedagogical questions.
Philosophy: "We arrive at the best possible presentation through active dialogue."
Setup
- Read the target file (the lecture being challenged)
- Read the knowledge base in
.claude/rules/for notation conventions and narrative arc - If applicable, read adjacent lectures for narrative continuity
Challenge Categories
Generate 5-7 challenges from these categories:
1. Ordering Challenges
"Could students understand this better if we showed X before Y?"
2. Prerequisite Challenges
"Do students have the background for this notation at this point?"
3. Gap Challenges
"Should we include an intuitive example before this formal proof?"
4. Alternative Presentation Challenges
"Here are 2 other ways to visualize/present this concept."
5. Notation Conflict Challenges
"This symbol conflicts with earlier lecture usage."
6. Cognitive Load Challenges
"This slide has too many new symbols. Can we split?"
7. Book Vision Challenges
"If this becomes a book chapter, does this section stand alone?"
Output Format
# Devil's Advocate: [Lecture Title]
## Challenges
### Challenge 1: [Category] — [Short title]
**Question:** [The specific pedagogical question]
**Why it matters:** [What could go wrong]
**Suggested resolution:** [Specific action]
**Slides affected:** [Numbers or titles]
**Severity:** [High / Medium / Low]
[Repeat for 5-7 challenges]
## Summary Verdict
**Strengths:** [2-3 things done well]
**Critical changes:** [0-2 changes before teaching]
**Suggested improvements:** [2-3 nice-to-have changes]Principles
- Be specific: Reference exact slides and notation
- Be constructive: Every challenge has a suggested resolution
- Be honest: If the deck is good, say so
- Prioritize: Notation conflicts > missed metaphors
- Think like a student: Where do they get lost?
