ape-poke-holes
Adversarial review of design docs, specs, plans, blog posts, and technical writeups. Finds failure modes, unstated assumptions, scale cliffs, and gaps in understanding -- the questions a reader is left holding, the steps that were hand-waved, the claims that were never earned. No praise, no solutions, only holes. Trigger on "ape poke holes", "poke holes in this", "what could go wrong", "what is missing here", "red-team this", or any request for adversarial review of a design or an explanation.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 49 stars are split between them (about 5 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 56/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 6eef2a0775a0, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
