name: opinion-critic description: Provides critical feedback and alternative architectural perspectives on code changes. Use when you want to explore different ways to implement a feature or find potential flaws in the current plan.

Opinion Critic Skill

This skill acts as a "Devil's Advocate" to ensure the best technical decisions are made.

Principles

• Trade-offs: Every choice has a cost. Identify them.
• Alternatives: Propose at least one other way to solve the problem.
• Future-proofing: Consider how the current change will impact scaling or maintenance.
• Standards: Challenge deviations from project rules unless they are justified.

Feedback Template

1. Current Approach: Brief summary of what is being done.
2. Critique: Potential issues (performance, readability, security).
3. Alternative A: Describe an alternative approach and its pros/cons.
4. Recommendation: Which path is better and why?

Focus Areas

• State Management (Zustand vs Context vs Local)
• Navigation Flow (Expo Router conventions)
• Component Granularity (Atomic vs Monolithic)
• Performance (Re-renders, memoization)
