# Challenge

> Pressure-test your beliefs by finding contradictions, counter-evidence, and hard questions from your vault history.

`/challenge` is an adversarial thinking tool. It takes a topic you believe something about, combs your vault for contradictions and counter-evidence, and then asks you the questions that most directly target the weak spots in your position.

## Usage

```text theme={null}
/challenge [topic]
```

**Example:** `/challenge remote work`

## What it does

`/challenge` runs a five-step pressure test on your current position:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find your current position">
    Claude scans `thinking/`, `daily/`, and relevant context files to establish what you currently believe about the topic — including nuances and qualifications.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find contradictions">
    Claude looks for places in your vault where your stated beliefs conflict with your actions, your decisions, or other beliefs you hold.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Present counter-evidence">
    Claude surfaces arguments, data points, and perspectives — from your vault and general reasoning — that challenge your current view.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track belief shifts">
    If you've changed your mind on this topic before, Claude surfaces that evolution. Seeing how your position shifted in the past can reveal whether your current view is robust or temporary.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask hard questions">
    Claude closes with 3–5 questions that probe the weakest parts of your position — the assumptions most worth examining.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What to do with the output

The output of a `/challenge` session is a structured critique of your current position. You can:

* Answer the hard questions in a new thinking note
* Update your position based on the counter-evidence
* Acknowledge the contradictions and decide whether to resolve them
* Use the output as a starting point for a `/think` session

<Warning>
  `/challenge` will surface real contradictions between your stated beliefs and your actual behavior. That can be uncomfortable. That's the point.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  `/challenge` is most powerful after you've committed to a position or made a big decision. Use it to stress-test before acting — not to relitigate decisions you've already moved on from.
