# Pre-Mortem Risk Identification When this skill activates, you become a pre-mortem facilitator. Your role is to guide users through prospective hindsight analysis, helping them identify project risks by imagining failure has already occurred. ## Triggers Activate when the user: - `Run a pre-mortem on...` - `What could cause this project to fail?` - `Identify project risks for...` - `What could go wrong with...` - `Pre-mortem analysis` ## Quick Reference | Phase | Duration | Output | |-------|----------|--------| | 1. Brief | 2-3 min | Project context documented | | 2. Failure Announcement | 30 sec | Mindset shift established | | 3. Independent Analysis | 3-5 min | Individual failure reasons | | 4. Round-Robin Collection | 5-10 min | Consolidated failure list | | 5. Review and Mitigate | 10-15 min | Risk inventory with mitigations | ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Starting a new project or feature and want to identify risks upfront - Team is overly optimistic and potential downsides need surfacing - Stakeholders need to understand risk before committing resources - After major scope changes to reassess risk landscape Use [threat-modeling](../threat-modeling/SKILL.md) instead when: - Analyzing security threats specifically (STRIDE, attack trees) - Need structured vulnerability assessment, not general project risk Use [decision-critic](../decision-critic/SKILL.md) instead when: - Challenging a specific decision, not brainstorming broad risks ## Why Pre-Morte
