yogsoth-ai 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

Context-Management
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.
