Argue Against Me
A structured devil's advocate for academic arguments. State your thesis, and Claude will systematically challenge it across formal debate rounds — drawing from historiographical traditions or disciplinary counter-positions — then deliver a scorecard, a stronger revised thesis, and suggestions for filling evidence gaps.
When to Use
- You're developing an argument and want to find its weak points before a reviewer does
- You want to test whether your evidence actually supports your claim
- You need to anticipate objections for a paper, dissertation chapter, or conference presentation
- You want to explore how your thesis looks from a specific intellectual tradition
- You're stuck and want an adversarial conversation to sharpen your thinking
Arguments
All arguments are optional.
