Adversarial Analysis
Three-agent Swiss legal debate (advocate/adversary/judge) with calibrated risk probabilities -- but full-mode citation verification needs plugin-level MCP servers a bare skill copy won't have.

The repo's own README says 'MCP servers connect automatically, no setup, no API keys required' -- true only when installed through the official Cowork Desktop marketplace; a plain GitHub-clone-and-copy of the skill folder (this protocol's install method) leaves out the plugin-level .mcp.json entirely, so the skill's own citation-verification bar (>95% verified BGE citations) is unreachable and it silently drops to the 'Reduced Mode' the SKILL.md itself defines and discloses.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What Adversarial Analysis does
Structures legal position analysis as an Advocate/Adversary/Judicial three-way debate ending in a probability-weighted Erwaegung-style synthesis, for stress-testing an argument before filing. Triggers on 'stress-test this position' / 'check weaknesses before filing' style requests; explicitly excludes first-pass research and drafting, which belong to sibling skills. Real BGE citation verification depends on hosted MCP servers wired at the plugin level, not inside the skill folder itself, so a standalone skill copy runs in an honestly-disclosed reduced mode.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Adversarial Analysis skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from fedec65/bettercallclaude. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Adversarial Analysis work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. The repo's own README says 'MCP servers connect automatically, no setup, no API keys required' -- true only when installed through the official Cowork Desktop marketplace; a plain GitHub-clone-and-copy of the skill folder (this protocol's install method) leaves out the plugin-level .mcp.json entirely, so the skill's own citation-verification bar (>95% verified BGE citations) is unreachable and it silently drops to the 'Reduced Mode' the SKILL.md itself defines and discloses.
- What is the Adversarial Analysis SkillProof Score?
- 8.0/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
- How do I install Adversarial Analysis?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Adversarial Analysis with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
