How I use premortems with Claude and Codex
A developer has created a custom skill for AI coding assistants like Claude and Codex to perform 'premortems' on project plans. This technique, adapted from Gary Klein and Daniel Kahneman, involves instructing the AI to assume a plan has already failed and then explain why. The developer uses this to identify potential risks and hidden assumptions in coding decisions and project ideas, aiming for more specific and actionable insights than standard reviews. AI
