Cross-Examination

Probes defender responses for inconsistencies and logical gaps.

Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

Why Subagent

Cross-examination requires fresh analytical perspective on the defense — isolated context prevents anchoring to either attack or defense framing.

Input

  • defenses: Structured defenses from debate-defender
  • attacks: Original attacks that prompted the defenses
  • artifact: The artifact being debated (for reference)

Output

  • probes: List of follow-up questions targeting defense weaknesses
  • inconsistencies: Contradictions found within or between defenses
  • unsupported_claims: Defense claims lacking evidence
  • verdict_suggestion: Whether defense held up under examination

Budget

One unit = one cross-examination pass per round.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP When to use
spawn-agent Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
