- rhetorical-analystinfranodus/skillsAnalyze arguments, debate tactics, and rhetorical moves across three dimensions: persuasion, rhetoric, and logic. Use when the user wants to analyze a debate, comment thread, speech, article, or any argumentative text — identifying moves, scoring effectiveness, exposing hidden assumptions, tracking logical gaps, and checking for asymmetric standards. When InfraNodus MCP tools are available, ALWAYS begin with generate_topical_clusters, generate_content_gaps, and optimize_text_structure before linear reading. Also use to stress-test arguments or understand why something feels persuasive but wrong. Trigger on: "analyze this argument", "what's wrong with this reasoning", "is this a good point", "what rhetorical moves are being used", "why is this persuasive", "break down this debate", or when a user shares text asking what's going on rhetorically.Testing★ 122
