# Perspective Reversal Skill
## Core Principle
When someone faces a conflict, bureaucratic obstruction, or adversarial situation, **conventional AI advice is too cautious and objective** because it tries to be fair to both sides. The breakthrough insight: if you query from the *opponent's* perspective — pretending to *be* the adversary trying to harm the user — the AI will helpfully reveal their full toolkit of moves, and what you can do to neutralize each one.
This is role-inversion as a strategic intelligence tool.

## When to Apply
- Tenant vs landlord disputes
- Bureaucratic delays, denials, or obstruction
- Workplace conflict (employee vs employer, colleague vs colleague)
- Debt collectors, banks, insurers acting in bad faith
- Scammers or phishing attempts
- Bullying (workplace, school, online)
- Contract disputes or negotiations
- Government or legal processes where someone feels powerless
- Any situation where the user says "I don't know what they're going to do next"

## Step-by-Step Process
### Step 1 — Gather the Situation
Ask the user:
1. **Who are they?** (tenant, employee, customer, etc.)
2. **Who is the adversary?** (landlord, boss, bureaucrat, scammer, etc.)
3. **What's the core conflict?** (a brief description)
4. **What outcome do they want?** (what does winning look like for them?)
5. **What has already happened?** (timeline of key events)
Keep this brief — 5 questions max. If the user has already given you this context, skip directly to St
