sounding-board- Description
- Restate my idea in your own words so I can hear it fresh, then flag anything that sounds fuzzy, contradictory, or underspecified. After that, give your concrete opinion or suggestion on what I should do. Use when the user says "bounce this off you", "think with me", "sounding board", "talk this through", "what do you think", or wants collaborative feedback on an idea, plan, or design.

SKILL.md (first lines)
Restate my idea in your own words so I can hear it fresh, then flag anything that sounds fuzzy, contradictory, or underspecified. After that, give your concrete opinion or suggestion on what I should do. Go one exchange at a time. Don't pile up questions -- respond to what I just said before moving on. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead of asking me.
