We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Call context-init at campaign start

    line 47
  2. Very specific:

    Call context-checkpoint after each strategy completes

    line 48
  3. Very specific:

    Call knowledge-compilation after each strategy </HARD-GATE>

    line 49
  4. Distinctive:

    Evidence is typed: Every evidence link specifies its relationship: supports, contradicts, qualifies, or is irrelevant.

    line 55
  5. Distinctive:

    Steel-man first: Before documenting rebuttals, ensure the strongest version of each claim is represented.

    line 57

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Argument Mapping

Map argument structures for research domains. Extracts claims from sources, links supporting and opposing evidence, assesses argument strength, and synthesizes coherent positions from complex debates.

Strategy Sequence (Reference, Not Prescription)

  1. claim-extraction — identify and extract claims from source material
  2. evidence-linking-arg — link evidence to claims (supporting, contradicting, qualifying)
  3. argument-synthesis — synthesize positions from the argument graph

MCP Tools Used

  • vault_search — find existing claims and evidence
  • vault_add_edge — create argument edges (supported_by, contradicts, derived_from)
  • vault_query_graph — trace argument chains
  • vault_graph_stats — assess argument coverage
  • vault_lint — validate structural integrity

Context-Management

<HARD-GATE> - Call `context-init` at campaign start - Call `context-checkpoint` after each strategy completes - Call `knowledge-compilation` after each strategy </HARD-GATE>

Guiding Principles

  • Claims are atomic. Each claim page states exactly one proposition. Compound claims must be decomposed.
  • Evidence is typed. Every evidence link specifies its relationship: supports, contradicts, qualifies, or is irrelevant.
  • Strength is earned. A claim's strength comes from the weight and diversity of its evidence, not from authority or repetition.
  • Steel-man first. Before documenting rebuttals, ensure the strongest version of each claim is represented.
  • Synthesis is not averaging. The synthesis report identifies which claims survive scrutiny, not a compromise between all positions.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
