lawvable/awesome-legal-skills

Produces an adversarial attack on a legal argument that survives reply. Runs the opposing-counsel discipline twice: an unrestrained first pass, then the same instrument turned on that pass to cut every point that collapses under challenge - attacks on facts your own side has conceded, objections belonging to the wrong forum, speculation about documents and motives, gotchas with innocent explanations, overclaims, self-refuting assertions, and padding. The deliverable is one standalone attack containing only what can be defended, capped at five heads, not a discussion of the discarded draft. Use to attack, stress-test, red-team or rebut a submission, brief, motion, witness statement, letter or piece of structured legal reasoning when the output must be something you could stand up and say. Also use when an earlier adversarial review came back overlong, scattershot or padded with points you do not trust. Derived from Opposing Counsel Review by Larissa Meredith-Flister (Apache-2.0). Formal British English.
