think-argument-mapping

think-argument-mapping is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (823 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A visual structure that lays out a main claim, the reasons supporting it, the assumptions those reasons depend on, and objections to the claim.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine recommendations, prepare for debates, and test whether a case has a sound logical structure.
Why use it?
It makes hidden reasoning visible, so unsupported assumptions and weak links are easier to inspect. A clear map shows how an argument is built, but does not prove its facts are true.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

think-argument-mapping 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 9d 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.

Argument Mapping

In prose, an argument's structure is hidden: the main claim, the reasons for it, the unstated co-premises each reason needs, and the objections against it are blended into fluent text where a broken inference reads as smoothly as a sound one. Argument mapping makes the structure explicit: the contention, the reasons that support it, the co-premises each reason depends on, and the objections and rebuttals, laid out as a tree so every link is visible. The output is an argument map. Important boundary: a valid structure does not make the premises true; the map shows structure, not truth.

When to Use

  • An argument or recommendation must be evaluated for soundness before it is trusted.
  • A fluent, persuasive case may be hiding a broken inference or an unstated assumption.
  • A debate needs its logical structure made explicit so people argue the same point.

When NOT to Use

  • Simple claims with no real argumentative structure to map.
  • To judge how persuasive something is (this analyzes logical structure, not rhetoric).
  • To generate ideas or options (wrong tool).
  • As proof an argument is sound: a tidy map can still rest on false premises.

Instructions

When asked to map an argument, follow these steps:

  1. State the contention. The single main claim the argument is trying to establish.
  2. Lay out the reasons. For each, give the premise that directly supports the contention.
  3. Surface co-premises. For each reason, make explicit the unstated assumption it silently needs to actually support the contention. This is where most hidden weakness lives.
  4. Add objections and rebuttals. The strongest objections to the contention or to specific reasons, and any rebuttals.
  5. Flag the weak links. Mark the inferences that do not hold and the premises that are load-bearing but unsupported.
  6. Emit the argument map per references/TEMPLATE.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

think-argument-mapping is a skill published in the GitHub repository product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills (15 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 823 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
