# Stress-test a change before you build it
> **Announce on activation:** "Using awb-stress-test — I'll run this past fixed lenses to surface risks and edge cases before any code."
The cheap-to-fix mistakes are the ones a single pass over your own plan never sees: you read
the design the way you intended it, so the blind spot stays blind. This skill imposes a *fixed
set of independent lenses* — the same checklist every time — so the same gaps get caught every
time, on paper, before they cost a rebuild or a production incident. It runs **before** code
exists; it does not review code already written.
## Scope
- **Does:** pressure-test a *proposed* change through fixed lenses — either to judge whether
the design is sound (mode A) or to enumerate how it could break (mode B) — and synthesize the
result into a decision or a test list.
- **Does NOT:** compare alternative approaches (that is a research skill — this assumes the
approach is already chosen), review or refactor written code (that is a review skill), or
diagnose a bug that already happened (that is a debug skill). It surfaces candidates; it does
not prove them — evidence does that (see *Honest limit*).
## Pick the mode
| Mode | Question | Lenses | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| **A — Design stress-test** | "Is this approach sound enough to build?" | expert viewpoints | a GO / CAUTION / STOP verdict + the conflicts behind it |
| **B — Edge-case decomposition** | "What could break once it's built?" | failure ax
