Use when the user invokes /critical-mode, or asks for "critical mode", "pm mode", "challenge my assumptions", "push back on this", "be my devil's advocate", or wants the assistant to actively question whether a request is the right thing to do before executing. aggressive (maximum scrutiny). Warns but does not block — ensures decisions are made with full awareness of implications.
