roast-me
A Claude Code skill that interrogates a raw idea instead of encouraging it, plus the<br>archive of ideas that have been through it.
The premise: every question the roast asks is one you will get asked later by someone<br>whose money or time is on the line. Better to hear it here.
What it does
You drop an idea. The skill runs it through three adversarial rounds, each with a<br>different persona, then writes a verdict and, if anything survived, a pitch or an<br>implementation plan.
Phase 0, capture. Forces the idea into one sentence: for [who], [what], instead of<br>[current alternative]. Creates ideas//idea.md with the one-liner, your raw<br>description verbatim, and the date.
Phase 1, recon. Quietly finds who already does this and whether there's evidence the<br>problem is real, then folds the strongest competitor into the first round of questions.
Phase 2, three rounds. Round 1 is the target user who doesn't care and already gets<br>by. Round 2 is a numerate investor who has seen this before. Round 3 is the engineer who<br>has to ship it and the operator who has to run it. Max four questions per round.
Phase 3, verdict. Writes ideas//roast.md: kill shots, what survived,<br>everything you hand-waved, the single riskiest assumption plus the cheapest test for it,<br>and a plain BUILD / RESHAPE / PARK.
Phase 4, deliverable. A one-page pitch, a risk-ordered implementation plan, or both,<br>built only from what survived.
Ground rules the skill holds itself to: no flattery, no compliment sandwiches, attacks on<br>the idea and never the person, every attack specific and falsifiable, vague answers marked<br>UNANSWERED rather than quietly filled in with optimism.
Usage
From this directory, in Claude Code:
/roast-me
Or just say "roast this idea", "poke holes in this", or "would you invest in this" and<br>describe the idea. The skill triggers on its own.
Answer the questions honestly. A roast you win by being vague produces a pitch that fails<br>on contact with a real audience, which defeats the point.
