Who it is forA team lead or operations planner who has a project plan and wants to check what it quietly depends on.

The problemPlans often rest on unexamined assumptions about deadlines, audiences, or materials, and a list of ideas rarely surfaces them.

The outcomeA map of three to five load-bearing assumptions, each inverted into a what-if, with a gut-check line per branch that names the real difficulty.

What you need first

  • Access to Claude with skills support
  • Either the wonder-pill.skill file from the Releases page or a local copy of the Wonder-Pill repository
  • A topic you want to explore, plus any constraints such as budget, deadline, or materials

Steps

  1. Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/ara-mkr/Wonder-Pill.git.
  2. Copy the folder into your skills directory with cp -r Wonder Pill ~/.claude/skills/wonder-pill.
  3. In Claude, type /wonderpill followed by a one-line description of the project.
  4. Answer the intake questions with your real limits, such as timeline, budget, and who it must serve.
  5. Read the gut-check lines first, then open any scrapped what-ifs to see why they were judged dead ends.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Wonder Pill skill from ara-mkr/Wonder-Pill, run /wonderpill on the project <project description> with the limits <limits>. Return the scrapped what-ifs with their provenance and the gut-check lines. Verify that each what-if names the assumption it inverts.

Caveat. The skill is built to surface provocations rather than validated risks, so every flagged assumption still needs checking against your real project facts.
