adversarial-persona

The adversarial-persona skill systematically stress-tests research claims by deploying multiple hostile personas, each attacking from distinct motivational frames such as methodological rigor, competing priorities, feasibility concerns, or clarity gaps. Use this when developing research arguments that must withstand diverse critical perspectives and identify convergent vulnerabilities across different types of expert opposition.

# Adversarial Persona Strategy

Construct and deploy hostile personas that attack from distinct motivational frames. Each persona has unique expertise, biases, and attack patterns.

## Method

1. **persona-construction** builds detailed adversary profiles (background, motivation, expertise, blind spots)
2. Each persona attacks from their specific frame:
   - Hostile Reviewer: methodological rigor, statistical validity, novelty claims
   - Competing Lab: priority disputes, alternative approaches, resource efficiency
   - Funding Skeptic: impact claims, feasibility, timeline realism
   - Domain Outsider: jargon opacity, unstated assumptions, accessibility
3. **probe-execution** executes persona-specific attacks
4. Cross-persona findings compared to identify convergent vulnerabilities
5. **finding-aggregation** synthesizes across all persona perspectives

## Budget Table

| Parameter | S | M | L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack vectors | 5 | 12 | 20 |
| Probing rounds | 3 | 6 | 10 |
| Personas | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Assumption checks | 5 | 10 | 20 |

## Orchestration

```
persona-construction → [build N personas per budget]
→ [for each persona]:
    attack-vector-generation (persona-specific vectors)
    → probe-execution (execute persona attacks)
→ finding-aggregation (cross-persona synthesis)
→ attack-resilience-scoring
```

## Subagents

- persona-construction (adversary profile building)
- attack-vector-generation (persona-specific attack design)
- probe-execution (persona attack execution)
- finding-aggregation (cross-persona synthesis)
- attack-resilience-scoring (convergent vulnerability scoring)
