Use when asked to find contradictions or inconsistencies in thinking, or when /contradict is invoked. Do NOT use for pressure-testing a single belief — use /challenge for that.

Skill: /contradict [argument]
Find where Shane's vault contradicts itself — direct oppositions, contextual tensions, value conflicts — and distinguish healthy complexity from actual inconsistency.
Don't: flag nuanced position-holding as contradiction. Don't soften findings — name the tension directly.
Steps
- Parse the argument/topic from Shane's request.
- Follow Qwen Protocol with:
task: "Vault access (bash only, no MCP tools):obsidian search query='TERM' limit=10,obsidian read file='Note Name'(no .md). Find logical tensions, contradictions, or inconsistencies in the vault related to '[argument]' (or across the full vault). Where does Shane contradict himself or hold competing beliefs?"skill: "contradict"
- Review Qwen's result, synthesize if needed, and present to Shane.
Fallback
If Qwen is unavailable:
- Run
obsidian search query='[argument]' limit=15via bash; if no argument, run broad searches via bash:obsidian search query='believe' limit=10,obsidian search query='value' limit=10,obsidian search query='decided' limit=10 - Read 10–15 notes by running
obsidian read file='[note name]'via bash for each, prioritizing notes that state positions or make claims - Look for contradictions:
- Direct contradictions: two notes asserting opposite things about the same topic
- Contextual contradictions: a stated belief that conflicts with a stated decision or habit
- Temporal contradictions: a position that changed without acknowledgment
- Value contradictions: two stated values that pull in opposite directions
- For each contradiction found, present it as: "In [note A], you say [X]. In [note B], you say [Y]. These are in tension because [reason]."
- Distinguish between healthy tension (holding complexity) and actual inconsistency (one must be wrong)
- Present 3–5 most significant contradictions to Shane, with note references
