Advocate Construction

Builds the most compelling argument for a position — typically a rejected candidate or counter-thesis. The advocate's job is to find every legitimate strength, reframe weaknesses, and construct a case that demands serious engagement.

Execution

Spawns a subagent with the advocate role. The subagent receives the rejected candidate and convergence context, then constructs the strongest possible case for resurrection or adoption.

Why Subagent

• Role isolation prevents contamination from prior judgments
• Advocate must genuinely argue FOR the position without hedging
• Separation from critic/judge roles ensures intellectual honesty

HARD-GATE

Output must include:

• Explicit thesis statement

• = 3 supporting arguments with evidence

• Reframing of at least 1 perceived weakness as a strength
• Acknowledgment of genuine weaknesses (steel-manning, not straw-manning)

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
