pre-mortem-kill-criteria

SKILL.md

An enhancement to the standard pre-mortem that moves beyond simply imagining failure to establishing pre-committed actions based on specific negative signals.

Core principle: Thinking about failure isn't enough; you must commit to actions BEFORE you see the signals.

| Pre-commit | Lock in actions before rationalization kicks in | | Signal focus | Identify correlates of failure, not just the failure itself | | Prospective waste | Think about future waste, not sunk cost | | Automatic triggers | When criteria hit, action is mandatory |

Use before launching products or signing contracts, when needing to combat sunk cost fallacy, or when standard pre-mortems fail to change behavior Source: coowoolf/insighthunt-skills.
