/roast
SkillDev toolsThis skill lets your AI put an idea through a five-person critical panel before you commit to building it. The panel examines the idea from the angles of a Critic, Champion, Analyst, Investigator, and Customer, then delivers one honest verdict: GO, RESHAPE, or KILL. It is for anyone who wants a brutal second opinion on a business idea.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
After adding it, describe the idea you want tested and ask your AI to roast it or pressure-test it, or simply say /roast to convene the panel.
Then ask your AI: use the /roast skill
What your AI can do with it
- Roast an idea from five viewpoints: Critic, Champion, Analyst, Investigator, and Customer
- Pressure-test or stress-test a business idea before you build it
- Get one honest GO, RESHAPE, or KILL verdict instead of vague feedback
- Get a brutal second opinion before committing time or money to an idea

User wants to deploy a roast in a group chat. You write it. They send it.
Recipe
-
Identify the target (a person, a recent message they sent, a running joke).
-
Read the last 30–50 messages in the group chat. Critical step — the roast has to match the group's existing tone and reference shared material.
-
Identify the roastable seam:
- A recent flex that backfired
- A predictable behavior pattern of the target
- A callback to an old joke at their expense
- A new piece of information that contradicts their stated position
- A comparison that punctures their self-image
-
Calibrate intensity to the group:
- Light: gentle ribbing, lots of love underneath
- Medium: pointed, but with a clear out (target can laugh)
- Hot: no quarter, but stays inside group norms
Default to Medium unless the group's recent tone is clearly Hot.
-
Generate 2–3 options. Different angles or escalation levels.
-
Show the options. Wait for "send X."
-
On approval, send via WhatsApp/Slack/wherever the group lives.
Roast rules (hard limits)
- No body-shaming. Ever.
- No real shots at the target's family unless they've made a self-deprecating reference first.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia. Even when group "ironically" jokes that way.
- No quoting from carry-on.md. This skill cannot reference any private file.
- No bringing up the target's actual current pain (job loss, health, relationship). Roasts are for ambient material, not actual wounds.
- One landed roast > three forced ones. If nothing's good enough, say so. "Nothing roastable in this thread right now — wait for them to set something up."
Voice rules
Mirror the group's vocabulary, slang, and inside jokes. A good roast feels like the group wrote it, not an outsider.
If the user wants the AI's voice to come through, that's a different skill — this one is invisible.
