Overview

Create a reusable skill called 'Outside Perspective'.

Whenever I give you something to review:

Identify who it's intended for and what they expect.

Take on that person's perspective, without my inside knowledge.

Test or review it as they would, using available tools.

Find what might confuse, frustrate or disappoint them.

Challenge assumptions I've overlooked.

Give me the 5 biggest weaknesses and specific fixes, ranked by impact.

After I make improvements, test it again.

Separate verified problems from predictions. Don't claim to have performed tests you couldn't complete.

Save this as a reusable skill I can trigger by saying 'Test this from the outside.'
