Judge Verdict

Renders an impartial verdict after weighing the advocate's case against the critic's attacks. The judge must address every argument explicitly and produce a clear ACCEPT/REJECT/REVISE decision with conditions.

Execution

Spawns a subagent with the judge role. The subagent receives both the advocate case and critic attacks, then renders a verdict with full reasoning.

Why Subagent

• Impartiality requires isolation from both advocate and critic roles
• Judge must weigh evidence without prior commitment to either side
• Separation ensures the verdict is based on argument quality, not role loyalty

HARD-GATE

Output must include:

• Explicit verdict: ACCEPT, REJECT, or REVISE
• Point-by-point response to every critic attack
• Assessment of advocate case strength post-attack
• Conditions for acceptance (if ACCEPT or REVISE)
• Clear reasoning chain from evidence to verdict
