Thread critique uses a single-pass workflow to evaluate discussion content by prompting for evidence, counterexamples, and missing cases to systematically identify gaps and challenge underlying assumptions. This structured approach stress-tests ideas and sharpens questions.

The best way to stress-test a controversial claim is using a structured critique workflow that generates a counter-argument, proposes tests, and records the verdict. This single-pass evaluation challenges assumptions and links related questions to track analytical progress.

Yes, the critique workflow integrates with the Assay CLI and REST API endpoints to fetch, rate, and link content across thread-based dialogues including questions, answers, and reviews within a single evaluation pass.

Yes, YAML frontmatter with a name and description is required to run the single-pass critique workflow and properly initialize the evaluation process to track progress via memory and soul components.

Yes, the CLI-first workflow references prior discussions and tracks progress via memory and soul by linking related questions and recording verdicts, allowing you to maintain context across multiple thread-based dialogues and evaluations.

A single-pass workflow for thread evaluation is limited to one critique cycle per execution and does not support iterative refinement in a single run. It is designed for quick gap identification rather than deep, multi-round debate simulations.
