Argument Analysis

This skill provides systematic analysis of arguments to strengthen logic, identify gaps, and improve persuasiveness.

Core Framework: Claim-Evidence-Warrant (CEW)

Every strong argument contains three elements:

1. Claim

The assertion you're making - what you want the reader to believe.

Characteristics of strong claims:

• Specific and falsifiable
• Not obviously true or universally accepted
• Worth arguing about
• Connected to evidence

Weak claim: "AI is important" Strong claim: "Foundation models will consolidate around three major providers within 18 months"
