Uncover historical accidents in current practices using non-threatening 'Why?' questions

  • Identifies whether current practices are based on genuine constraints or historical accidents
  • Relies on subagent-spawning for dedicated context and focus
  • Systematically probes each aspect of current practices with non-judgmental questioning
  • Returns insights to parent agents for further analysis or action

# Challenge Questioning

Non-threatening 'Why?' questioning of current practices.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

## Why Subagent

Challenge questioning requires maintaining a non-judgmental stance while systematically probing every aspect of current practice. Benefits from dedicated context that can track which practices have been challenged and which remain.

ablation-brainstormRemove components one by one, observe system changes to reveal hidden dependencies and generate ideas from structural gaps.
ablation-component-mappingMap system architecture to ablatable units for ablation studies
ablation-designDesign ablation studies to isolate component contributions in ML systems
ablation-executionRemove components one by one from a system, record the response/impact of each removal.
abp-vulnerability-classificationClassify assumptions on 2 axes — load-bearing (how much conclusion depends on it) × vulnerable (how likely to be false). Focuses attention on High-Load × High-Vulnerable quadrant.
abstraction-extractionExtract abstract principles from concrete domain cases. Strips domain-specific details to reveal transferable mechanisms.
abstraction-ladderPerform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels
abstraction-ladderingMove between concrete and abstract framings — 3 levels up (Why?) and 3 levels down (How?) to find the most productive research level.
abstraction-to-designAbstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering.
