argument-builder

State your main claim in one sentence, share the passage, and identify where it feels weakest. The Skill diagnoses claim clarity, evidence quality, and reasoning gaps, then returns a Toulmin map and a revised paragraph-ready draft.

The Toulmin model breaks an argument into claim, data, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal. It exposes whether your evidence actually supports your claim and whether counterarguments are addressed substantively.

Apply the PEEL structure: state a contestable point, add two to three cited sources as evidence, explain how the evidence supports the point, and link to the next paragraph. The Skill rewrites descriptive passages into this pattern.

Common fallacies include overgeneralization, false causation, appeal to authority without evidence, circular reasoning, and strawman dismissals of opposing views. The Skill flags each with specific examples from your text.

Avoid it for purely descriptive sections like methods procedures or raw results reporting, where no contestable claim exists. It is designed for argumentative prose such as introductions, literature reviews, and discussion chapters.
