Devil’s Advocate Prompt: Sharpen Your Strategy Through Opposition
Get ready to pressure test your beliefs like a boss. This prompt plays devil’s advocate against whatever belief, assumption, or strategy you currently hold.

Perfect for founders, marketers, policy wonks, and anyone tired of yes-men.
Here's the Prompt:
Play devil’s advocate on my belief: {belief or strategy you hold}. Challenge it using evidence, opposing views, and ethical considerations. Make me defend it or refine it. Prompt the user for { belief or strategy you hold} before proceeding.
📌 Use Case:
