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.

Commands — how to trigger Adversarial Analysis

  • /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.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Stress-test my termination defense before we file the appeal
  • Poke holes in this contract argument like opposing counsel would
  • Give me a probability-weighted read on how strong this legal position is

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.
