I am stuck on a useful second-opinion prompt. I need to challenge a plan, find hidden assumptions, and suggest the smallest test that could disprove it, but my current attempt is getting vague and too big. What would you check first?

I kept the useful constraints and dropped the role-play. It works better when the missing details are stated plainly.
First, shrink the decision. Do not solve the whole subject at once.
- Put the source of truth in the prompt.
- Mark missing evidence instead of filling it in.
- Add a stop condition before tool use.
Write down the result you need by the end of this session. Then choose one input you trust and make a first pass that can be checked. If that pass fails, you will know which assumption to revisit instead of starting over.
The smaller decision was the missing piece. I was asking for the whole system at once.
