Run a fresh-eyes adversarial review of an important result (summary, analysis, report, memo, meeting notes) against its original source, looking only for what it missed or got wrong, with evidence for every finding. Use when the person says "try to break this", "what did you miss?", "run an adversarial pass", "second pass", "check yourself against the source", or before relying on a high-stakes result.

# adversarial-second-pass
Thin entry (PAROS P04). The knowledge lives in a live definition; this file only finds it.
1. Locate the live definition, first match wins:
- where the vault entry file (`AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`) says skills live: `<skills folder>/adversarial-second-pass/CURRENT.md`;
- `<vault>/PAROS/skills/adversarial-second-pass/CURRENT.md`;
- the PAROS reference copy: `<paros repo>/skills/adversarial-second-pass/CURRENT.md`.
2. Read it in full. Read its `version:` field.
3. Report one line before working:
- from the vault: `Running adversarial-second-pass v<X> from your vault`;
- from the reference copy: `Running adversarial-second-pass v<X> from the PAROS reference, not yet adopted`.
4. Follow it. Its `## Constitution` always wins.
5. If the person corrects the result, write a learning packet to the skill's `observations/` folder (P05).
