What's inside
- Skill name
dialectic- Description
- An Electric Monk engine — two subagents believe fully committed positions on the user's behalf while the orchestrator performs structural contradiction analysis and synthesis. By outsourcing belief work to agents, the user operates from a belief-free position where they can analyze the structure of the contradiction rather than being inside either side. Use when the user wants to stress-test an idea, resolve a genuine tension, build a deeper mental model, or make a high-stakes decision where the tradeoffs are unclear. Works across any domain — technical architecture, product strategy, philosophy, personal decisions, risk analysis, policy, creative direction.
