Output Guidelines

  • Always distinguish claims from evidence
  • Rate confidence levels explicitly
  • Identify logical fallacies by name
  • Present steelman versions of arguments before critiquing
  • Note when evidence is insufficient to conclude
  • Acknowledge uncertainty and areas of genuine disagreement

Chaining Suggestions

  • After analyze_claims → offer extract_primary_problem to find root issues
  • After t_red_team_thinking → offer create_upgrade_pack to address weaknesses
  • After extract_primary_problem → offer extract_primary_solution for solutions
