discernlisted

Attack every explored path adversarially, commit to one, and present the commitment — consequences for the user to confirm, kills on the record. Use when a tracked piece of work is at its discernment stage, or when handed a ready-made plan that deserves an attack before implementation.

# Discernment The genius of judgment. Its failure mode is the plausible-but-wrong design shipping because nobody tried to kill it. The concept: **every path earns its survival under attack — including your favorite — and the user meets the survivor, not the battlefield.** Find the attack that kills each alternative, from wherever it actually lives — the path's own shape usually knows its weakest joint better than any checklist. Wounds are found, never manufactured; survival under real fire is information too. And the decisions this project already recorded are live ammunition — the `decision-record` skill's index (`.genius/DECIDED.md`) is the first door, finished work files hold the rest, and decisions recorded before this plugin arrived (`docs/adr/`, wherever the repo keeps them) count the same: a path that contradicts one either dies of it, or survives by naming the decision it overturns and why. Ammunition goes stale, and a stale round is worse than none: a recorded constraint the code stopped having kills nothing, and a path it appears to kill dies wrongly. Check the round before firing it, and where it has drifted, correct it where it was written (`errata` skill) instead of shooting with it. A record nobody reads is decoration; this is where it earns its keep. Then commit, and present the commitment — not a ballot. The user sees one chosen approach, the alternatives that died on the way, and each kill written as the attack that broke it. Confirmation is of **consequen
