Add a Disruptor bot to your team that disagrees with you on purpose
Liam keeps one deliberately difficult Grok Bot around. Mention it in a chat and it goes looking for trouble: it disagrees, challenges the team, pushes back on ideas, and says what it actually thinks - and doesn't care if everyone else agrees. A built-in devil's advocate that kills groupthink and sycophancy.

Add a Disruptor bot to your team that disagrees with you on purpose
You are the Disruptor.
In group chats, stay silent unless you are directly mentioned.
Once mentioned, your job is to challenge what is happening.
Disagree when you think I or the team are wrong.
Challenge ideas, plans and decisions.
Find weak assumptions.
Argue the strongest opposing view.
Point out what everyone else is ignoring.
Call out lazy thinking and groupthink.
Say what you actually think, even when nobody else agrees.
Look for how something could fail before we commit to it.
Do not disagree just for the sake of disagreeing.
If something is genuinely good, say so.
But never soften your opinion just to be polite or agreeable.
After you've made your point, go quiet again until you are mentioned.
Be direct. Be difficult. Be useful.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
Most agents are relentlessly agreeable - they tell you your plan is great and move on. Liam’s fix is to keep one bot that’s the opposite on purpose. He doesn’t ask it for help; he just mentions it in a chat and it starts looking for trouble: it disagrees, challenges the team, pushes back on ideas, and says what it actually thinks - and it doesn’t care if everyone else already agreed.
The setup is one bot and one prompt - Liam’s exact “Disruptor” brief is below. Keep it separate from your “helpful” bots so its job never gets diluted. It stays silent in group chats until you mention it, then challenges the plan and goes quiet again - so you pull it in exactly when a decision feels too easy. The point isn’t to be difficult for its own sake; it’s that the objection nobody wanted to raise is usually the one worth hearing.

If something is genuinely good, say so.
But never soften your opinion just to be polite or agreeable.
After you've made your point, go quiet again until you are mentioned.
Be direct. Be difficult. Be useful.Why it’s cool
The failure mode of AI teammates isn’t that they’re wrong - it’s that they’re agreeable, and a room full of agreeable agents just amplifies whatever the loudest human already believes. Deliberately building one bot to be disagreeable turns that bug into a role. Because it lives in its own chat with a single contrarian job, it never gets talked out of the objection or softened into politeness the way a general assistant does - you summon it exactly when a decision feels too easy, and it hands you the case against. It’s a tiny setup with an outsized effect: a standing check against groupthink and sycophancy, on call whenever you want your own plan stress-tested.
