# challenge - Challenge an approach or validate ideas with confidence
|
||
|
||
The `challenge` tool encourages thoughtful critical thinking instead of automatic agreement with the dreaded **You're absolutely right!** responses - especially
|
||
when you're not. This tool wraps your comment with instructions that prompt critical thinking and honest analysis instead of blind agreement.
|
||
|
||
## Quick Example
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
challenge but do we even need all this extra caching because it'll just slow the app down?
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
challenge I don't think this approach solves my original complaint
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Here’s a more fluid and natural version:
|
||
|
||
Normally, your favorite coding agent will enthusiastically reply with **“You’re absolutely right!”**—then proceed to
|
||
reverse the _correct_ strategy entirely, without stopping to consider that you might actually be wrong, missing the
|
||
bigger picture or ignoring architectural constraints.
|
||
|
||
`challenge` fixes this.
|
||
|
||
## Why Use Challenge?
|
||
|
||
AI assistants sometimes tend to agree too readily. The challenge tool helps you:
|
||
- Get genuine critical evaluation of your ideas
|
||
- Challenge assumptions constructively
|
||
- Receive honest feedback on proposals
|
||
- Validate approaches with thoughtful analysis |
