Fact Check
Verify technical claims against primary sources — docs, source code, changelogs, reproducible examples — and mark what couldn't be verified instead of masking it with a confident tone. Use when you say "fact-check this", "verify these claims", doubt a technical statement, or before shipping material with disputed claims.
Socratic Tutor
Teach a technical topic by making the learner reason it out — never by handing over answers or code. Socratic and anti-spoonfeed: probing questions one at a time, escalating hints, docs-reading practice, a wrong answer treated as data, and an explain-back test that makes the learner reconstruct the idea in their own words so "got through it" can't pass for "understood it". Use when the user wants…
Challenge Talk

Content Review
Final read-through of any prose before it ships — a sound pass for AI tells and machine rhythm, an argument pass for whether the claims actually hold, and a register/cohesion pass. Returns specific notes — what's not working and how you'd fix it — not vibes. Use when you say "review this", "read it before I publish", "check for AI tells", or hand any draft for a final pass.
Prep Talk
Prepare a talk or lecture end to end — find the angle, pin the working vocabulary in a CONTEXT file, build a timed outline, then review and fact-check before the stage. On a first run it interviews you to capture your speaker voice — audience, register, what to avoid — so the material sounds like you, not like a committee deck. Use when you say "prep a talk", "outline my lecture", "plan my confer…
