# Contradiction search

Deliberately hunt for the case against a claim: limitations, criticism,
failures, and counter-evidence.

## When to use

- A claim, tool, or approach looks too good to trust flatly.
- A balanced write-up requires the "what breaks / what people dispute" side.
- Pressure-testing evidence before a verdict in `claim-verification` /
  `fact-checking`.

## Tools used

- `find_contradictions` — from a `claim`, optional `angles` (which kinds of
  criticism to hunt), `limit_per_query` (default 6).

## Workflow

1. State the claim; list the angles worth attacking (performance, security,
   cost, support, validity…).
2. `find_contradictions` with those angles.
3. Weigh hits: real reproducible failures vs. noise/confusion.
4. Fold the strongest counter-evidence into the final assessment.

## Input schema

```json
{ "claim": "str", "angles": "list[str]", "limit_per_query": "int" }
```

## Output schema

```json
{ "claim": "str", "contradictions": "list[{angle,source,url,quote}]" }
```

## Security

Criticism is evidence to weigh with the same discipline as support. Do not
manufacture doubt — only surface what sources genuinely say.
