LLM Steelman Counterargument Prompt

Force the strongest version of the opposing view before publishing.

The prompt

My argument: {{argument}}

Write the strongest possible counterargument a smart, informed critic would make — not a weak strawman.
Then say which parts of my argument survive it unchanged, which need a caveat, and which do not survive at all.
Do not soften the counterargument to make my position look better.

Replace the {{fields}} with your own context and tighten the rules to match your domain.
