Prompt / template
Here's my plan for [project]. Before I commit, challenge it. Find: assumptions that might be wrong, places where I'm overconfident about time or cost, risks I haven't considered, dependencies on people or systems outside my control, and the first thing likely to go wrong. Rank the issues by impact and suggest a cheap way to test each big assumption this week. <plan>[paste]</plan>
