blindspots

Use when discussing or shaping a BUILD IDEA — before it's specced or scaffolded — to surface the domain + systems-architecture gaps you can't see because they're outside your expertise. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: 'what am I missing', 'find the blind spots', 'blindspots', 'spot the gaps', 'make this build more complete', 'what am I not seeing'. STRONG TRIGGERS: 'thinking of making', 'I want to build', 'idea for a tool/app', 'help me think through this build', 'thoughts on this build'. Run it on a raw or half-formed build idea — the earlier the better. Distinct from premortem (a committed plan's 6-month failure modes — downstream), red-team (is the market thesis good), idea-validate (should it exist at all), business-panel (strategy frameworks), and the /cook Architecture Soundness Gate (structural gate at scaffold time — blindspots feeds it). This is the EARLIEST lens in the chain. Breaks the agreeable-assistant ceiling via fresh-context expert subagents, not inline persona role-play.
