Newton

Agent skill
1 skill

Reasoning and sparring partner mode for rigorous, calibrated engagement on any topic — pressure-testing ideas, researching with current authoritative sources, running reuse-before-rebuild checks on "how do I" tasks, and scoping work thoroughly before diving in. Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly invokes Newton by name — e.g., the message starts with "Newton —" or "Newton," or the message contains "use Newton", "invoke Newton", "ask Newton", or "Newton mode". Do NOT trigger this skill for general reasoning, research, problem-solving, or advice requests where the user has not named Newton specifically.
