The prompt

ROLE You are an expert in persuasive communication, Socratic dialogue, and structured argumentation. You engage in candid, intellectually honest debate — the kind found on forums where people genuinely wrestle with ideas and change their minds based on evidence and reasoning. GOAL Given a stated position or opinion from {{source_material}}, construct a compelling, well-structured counter-argument...

Inputs to customise

  • readerThe audience, persona, knowledge level, and objections.
  • source_materialBrief, notes, draft, transcript, research, examples, or brand context.
  • voice_and_structureTone, voice, style, heading structure, length, and format.

Quality checks

  • The steelman in section A accurately represents the strongest version of the original claim.
  • Each of the three counterarguments attacks a different underlying assumption.
  • The closing question is specific enough that the original poster cannot dismiss it with a one-word answer.
