Portability: Reasoning-led skill with 3 stdlib Python tools. No external APIs, no LLM calls in scripts. Works in Claude Code CLI and Claude.ai web. The panel does the depth; the Judge does the call. Claude's default is to agree with you. /roast is the opposite. It convenes a panel of five independent reviewers — The Critic, The Champion, The Analyst, The Investigator, and The Customer — who tear an idea apart and build it up from every angle, then a Judge synthesizes everything into one honest verdict. Use it before you sink time and money into building the wrong thing. The panel is adversarial on purpose. No reviewer is allowed to hedge or be polite. The point is to surface what you can't see because you're too close to it. If $ARGUMENTS contains the idea, start there. Then ask the user a tight set of clarifying questions so the panel has real context to work with. Ask only what hasn't already been provided. Keep it to 3-4 questions max, in one batch: 1. The idea in one or two sentences (what it is, what it does). 2. Who it's for and how it makes money (the buyer + the price/model). 3. Your edge — relevant skills, audience, or assets you already have. 4. Constraints — budget, time
