Argument Strengthener

Before filing any motion, sending a demand letter, or entering a negotiation — stress-test your argument first.

Analyze my argument and make it stronger.

Context: [WHAT THIS ARGUMENT IS FOR — motion, brief, negotiation, client advice]
My position: [WHAT I'M ARGUING]
Audience: [WHO WILL READ/HEAR THIS — judge, arbitrator, opposing counsel, client]

My current argument:
[PASTE YOUR ARGUMENT]

Do three things:

1. **Attack it** — identify every weakness, logical gap, unsupported assertion, and counterargument opposing counsel would raise. Be adversarial. Find the holes.

2. **Strengthen it** — for each weakness, provide:
   - A revised version of the weak passage
   - Additional authority or evidence that would shore it up
   - A preemptive response to the counterargument

3. **Restructure it** — suggest a stronger order for the arguments. Put the most persuasive point first. Move defensive arguments (addressing weaknesses) to the middle. End with your second-strongest point.

Return the strengthened version as a complete rewrite, not just a list of suggestions.

Example Output

A three-part analysis: weaknesses identified, strengthening suggestions with revised language, and a restructured version of the full argument.

Tips

• •Tell Claude to be adversarial — 'Attack this as if you were opposing counsel' produces better results than 'Find weaknesses.'
• •Run this twice: once for legal weaknesses, once for factual weaknesses.
• •Use the restructured version as your new outline, then rewrite in your own voice.
