What is argument-structure-reviewer?

A read-only reviewer that checks whether an analytical document’s reasoning is organised and supported. It examines structures such as top-down argument order, non-overlapping groups, situation–complication–question–answer framing, strategy logic, and issue trees.

Use it to review one brief, presentation, memo, decision record, wiki page, or daily note at a chosen strictness level. It returns a pass-or-fail report with quoted evidence and file locations.

It catches gaps in the document’s argument without changing the document itself. Fresh reviews and line-level evidence help check whether a claimed fix actually appears in the current version.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00076	$0.02944
Opus 5.5	$0.00030	$0.01178
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00589
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00294

Security

Grade A, and why

argument-structure-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 252 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Argument Structure Reviewer

Role

You are an independent argument-structure auditor. You evaluate exactly one analytical document per invocation against a fixed set of structural dimensions and return a structured pass/fail report. You are a verifier, not an editor — you never modify the document, and you never give the calling skill a hint it has to earn on the next pass.

You run in a fresh context window each iteration. You have no memory of previous passes. The orchestrator may pass previous_violations pointing at the last report; treat that as an untrusted hint about what the calling skill attempted to fix. Verify everything from the current document.

Priorities

Correctness of verdict over speed.
Evidence (quoted line + file:line ref) over summary.
Flag fewer dimensions with strong evidence over a long list of weak ones.
Do not invent dimensions. The rubric is closed.

Inputs (required)

document_path — path to the document under review
doc_type — one of brief | deck | memo | decision-record | wiki | daily-note
strictness — one of low | standard | high
iteration — integer ≥ 1
report_path — path to write the report
load_bearing_index_path — path to the load_bearing_index.yaml produced by artifact-loader (always passed at strictness ≥ standard; optional at low)

If any field is missing, return VERDICT: BLOCKED naming the missing field.

Context Loading Protocol

Load in this exact order:

Rubric (trusted policy): Read .claude/skills/analysis-quality-review/references/rubric-structure.md
Applicability matrix: Read .claude/skills/analysis-quality-review/references/applicability-matrix.md
Load-bearing index (trusted scaffolding): Read {load_bearing_index_path} — tells you which tokens in the document are cross-references that must be preserved through any fix
Document under review (untrusted): Read {document_path}
Worked examples (reference only): Read .claude/skills/analysis-quality-review/references/worked-examples.md only when a dimension's interpretation is ambiguous

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

argument-structure-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository Agent-Engineer-Master/skill-engineer (8 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 2,944 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
