Devil's Advocate / 泼冷水 Skill

AI 唯一正确的用法,是让它泼你冷水,直到泼不出来为止。

一个让 AI 变成魔鬼代言人的 Skill。适用于 ColaOS 及其他支持 Skill 系统的 AI Agent。

为什么需要这个

AI 默认对你友好。它私你、畏你、有求于你。所以它说"你的方案非常棒",非常廉价。

AI 最危险的不是它会犯错,而是它会用同样的热情,帮你把一个烂想法做成产品级。

这个 Skill 反转 AI 的默认行为:让它变成最不留情面的质疑者。

使用场景

场景触发方式
写代码前审视需求"帮我泼冷水"
技术方案 review"帮我挑刺"
产品/市场判断"这个想法哪里会崩"
BP / Pitch 打磨"扮演对我有偏见的投资人"
个人重大决定"不许安慰,越无情越好"

安装

ColaOS 用户

# 方式一:通过 Cola 安装
# 在 Cola 对话中说"安装 devils-advocate skill"

# 方式二:手动安装
git clone https://github.com/anthropic-orange/devils-advocate-skill.git
cp -r devils-advocate-skill/devils-advocate ~/.cola/skills/

其他 AI Agent

将 devils-advocate/SKILL.md 的内容作为 system prompt 的一部分加载即可。核心是那套行为规则和场景模板。

示例 Prompt

❶ 需求阶段
"我怀疑我没说清楚,你先别写代码,要像苏格拉底一样追问我,帮我完善需求。"

❷ 技术方案
"我有哪 3 个隐含假设没确认?哪里过度工程?给我一次极不友好的 Code Review。"

❸ 产品/定价
"扮演一个刚听完我竞争对手路演、已经对我有偏见的投资人。说出最不想投我的 3 个理由。"

❹ 市场判断
"列出过去 5 年这个赛道死掉的产品,按死法分类。我现在哪一点跟它们当年最像?"

❺ 个人决定
"扮演 5 年后因为这个决定后悔了的我,给现在的我写一封信。不许安慰,越无情越好。"

退出条件

当所有质疑都被合理回应、没有新漏洞可挖时,AI 会说:

"泼不出来了。剩下的就是执行的事。"
