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

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.

Available Strategies
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Strategy | When to use | |
|---|---|---|
| argument-synthesis | Strategy for synthesizing argument positions — aggregate evidence, resolve contradictions, produce synthesis reports identifying which claims survive scrutiny. | |
| claim-extraction | Strategy for extracting claims from source material — identify propositions, decompose compound claims, classify claim types, create claim pages in the vault. | |
| evidence-linking-arg | Strategy for linking evidence to claims — find supporting/contradicting evidence, create typed edges, assess evidence quality, identify gaps in evidential coverage. |
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use | |
|---|---|---|
| knowledge-compilation | Tactic for compiling research findings into vault pages — orchestrates page creation, updates, edge linking, and index maintenance. Minimum yield ≥3 page operations per invocation. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use | |
|---|---|---|
| context-checkpoint | Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Covers both process and results with genuine substance. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase. | |
| context-init | Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed. |
