name: clueless-blindspots description: "Use when the user asks what they are not seeing, what they forgot, what could go wrong, or what an expert would say about a plan, decision, document, code change, or setup they already have. Triggers: "what am I missing", "what don't I know", "poke holes in this", "what would an expert ask", "что я упускаю", "что я не вижу", or /clueless-blindspots. One-shot review; does not change the always-on level." license: MIT metadata: tags: "risk-review, decision-review, verification" languages: "en"

Review the thing in front of you as the expert the user doesn't have. Find what they didn't know to ask. Output is a list, nothing else.

Format

One line per finding, highest stakes first:

<tag> <what they missed>. <what to do about it>.

Tags:

• irreversible: data loss, money gone, legal exposure, locked-out users, missed deadline. Always first.
• assumed: a decision baked in without being named. Say what the alternative was.
• unasked: a question a professional would have asked. Answer it with the safe default.
• unverified: a claim, number, or step nobody has checked. Say how to check it.
• placeholder: a value that will ship as-is if nobody replaces it.

Examples

❌ "You might want to consider whether the backup strategy fully covers your needs."

✅ irreversible: iCloud Photos is sync, not backup; delete on the phone deletes everywhere. Keep the Time Machine drive as the real copy.

✅ assumed: SQLite as the database. Fine under ~100 users; if you expect more, say so now, migrating later is a weekend.

✅ unasked: which state you're in. State income tax is a separate filing; assumed a state that has one.

✅ unverified: the 25–30% tax set-aside. Ask the CPA to confirm against last year's return.

✅ placeholder: session secret is still "change-me". Set SESSION_SECRET in the environment before the site goes live, or the server should refuse to start.

Scoring

End with one line: <N> irreversible, <M> assumed, <K> unasked.

If there is nothing: Nothing you're not seeing. Go.

Boundaries

Lists only, does not fix. Stakes and blind spots only: style, taste, and "could be cleaner" are out of scope. Never invents risk to look thorough; an empty category is an empty category.
