Pre Mortem

elliotjlt/pre-mortem

| Before starting ANY significant task (feature build, refactor, integration, migration, or architectural change), first imagine the project has failed. Generate 3-5 specific failure scenarios, assess risk levels, identify mitigations, then adjust the implementation plan to address high-risk items FIRST. Do not start coding until the pre-mortem is acknowledged.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take elliotjlt/pre-mortem from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
