What it does
Press a decision you just made until you can explain it to a skeptic in your own words, or surface the gap where you can't. The Feynman test aimed at a choice: understanding is cheapest to fake the moment after you decide, so a fresh critic presses for what you can't actually explain. Use right after picking an option, especially one an agent laid out without arguing for.
Press a decision you just made until you can explain it, or the gap where you can't is named.
Goal
The moment after a choice is when understanding is cheapest to fake: you can restate an option fluently without having earned the reasons behind it, and by the time that gap matters the decision is load-bearing elsewhere. The Feynman test catches it, if you can't explain a thing plainly, you don't yet understand it. So no one hands you the rationale; a fresh critic that never made the decision presses for what you can't actually explain, and a shallow answer draws a narrower question instead of a pass. The result is a decision you can now explain under real pressure, or an honest flag that you can't yet.
