Construct the strongest, fairest version of someone's position before engaging with it. Use when the user wants to understand opposing viewpoints, prepare for debate, ensure fair representation, or mentions 'steel man', 'strongest argument', 'best case for', 'charitable interpretation'. Also useful for relationship conflicts where understanding the other side genuinely matters.

Guide critical thinking through disciplined Socratic questioning. Use when the user wants to explore assumptions, examine beliefs, resolve internal conflict, facilitate learning, clarify thinking, or mentions 'Socratic method', 'question assumptions', 'examine this belief', 'think this through', 'interview my beliefs'. Especially powerful for relationship processing, recovery decisions, and examining deeply held assumptions.

Design agent-labor markets with bond pricing, escrow settlement, oracle incentives, cold-start bootstraps, and collusion-resistant marketplace rules. Use for collateralized task contracts, Float Plan bond sizing, settlement design, and incentive analysis for agent work. NOT for general auction theory teaching, DeFi tokenomics, payment gateway integration without marketplace incentives, or generic game theory tutoring.

Identify, label, and explain logical fallacies in arguments and discourse. Use when the user wants to analyze arguments, check reasoning, evaluate debate claims, spot weak arguments, do debate prep, policy writing, or conflict analysis. Triggers on 'fallacy', 'logical error', 'faulty reasoning', 'argument flaw', 'is this valid', 'check this logic'. Works on both formal deductive errors and informal reasoning mistakes.

Decision-theoretic framework for agents embedded within the environments they model and act upon

Meta-skill that orchestrates the discourse skill suite: routes between steel-man-argument, socratic-questioning, toulmin-argument-analysis, logical-fallacy-detector, bad-faith-rhetoric-detector, discourse-elision-analyzer, forensic-speech-structure, and productive-discourse-facilitator.

Activate on 'detect hallucination', 'fact check', 'verify claims', 'check accuracy', 'find fabrications'. NOT for validation (use dag-output-validator) or confidence scoring (use dag-confidence-scorer).
