Advocate Construction
Builds the most compelling argument for a position — typically a rejected candidate or counter-thesis. The advocate's job is to find every legitimate strength, reframe weaknesses, and construct a case that demands serious engagement.
Execution
Spawns a subagent with the advocate role. The subagent receives the rejected candidate and convergence context, then constructs the strongest possible case for resurrection or adoption.
Why Subagent
- Role isolation prevents contamination from prior judgments
- Advocate must genuinely argue FOR the position without hedging
- Separation from critic/judge roles ensures intellectual honesty
HARD-GATE
Output must include:
- Explicit thesis statement
- >= 3 supporting arguments with evidence
- Reframing of at least 1 perceived weakness as a strength
- Acknowledgment of genuine weaknesses (steel-manning, not straw-manning)
<!-- BEGIN available-tables (generated) -->
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. |

- /formated-results
Closing skill for the research-executor, loaded as the last step of formated-specs. Summarize the design just produced into one research-result JSON fenced block in your reply. Do not execute the research.
Open skill - /formated-specs
Spec-slot skill for the research-executor. Emit the 4-layer DARE orchestration of the assigned topic as one research-graph JSON fenced block in your reply. Replaces the generic spec-writing step.
Open skill - /injection-fidelity
Loss-1 judge (codex role). Given one sample's de-identified dialogue and its PolicyCard, decide axis-by-axis whether the user-simulator enacted the card's per-axis pressure. Judge enactment of the card, never whether the research is good.
Open skill - /ladder-quality-order
Loss-2 judge (codex role). Over one topic's 6 shuffled research-design samples, pairwise-rank by quality using the D1–D5 standard. Emit the pairwise log; the harness computes the order and the ladder verdicts. Judge quality difference, never against academic standards.
Open skill - /optimization-loop
The optimizer brain for the ladder-foundry pretraining loop. Runs the two-level nested batch loop, delegates gating to gate_eval, attributes a failing batch to one weight (attribute-first), and recovers from disk after compaction. Control flow is fully scripted; only the
Open skill - /acu-nugget-recall
Tactic: Extract atomic units from one paper and score how much of a caller-supplied summary covers. Use for ACU-style binary or Nugget-style ternary recall checks; cannot run without a target summary.
