Interactive debate and argument practice with structured feedback, counterargument generation, logical fallacy identification, and scoring rubrics. Use when preparing for debates, improving persuasion skills, or practicing argumentation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Debate Practice Coach
Frameworks for structured argumentation, counterargument development, logical analysis, and persuasive communication practice with objective scoring.
## Argument Structure
### Toulmin Model of Argumentation
```
ARGUMENT BUILDER (Toulmin Model):
CLAIM: [Your main assertion]
What are you arguing?
GROUNDS: [Evidence and data supporting the claim]
What facts back this up?
WARRANT: [The logical connection between grounds and claim]
Why does this evidence support your claim?
BACKING: [Support for the warrant itself]
Why should we trust this reasoning?
QUALIFIER: [Degree of certainty — most, some, probably]
How strong is this claim?
REBUTTAL: [Conditions where the claim doesn't hold]
When would this argument fail?
EXAMPLE:
Claim: "Remote work increases productivity for knowledge workers."
Grounds: "Stanford study showed 13% productivity increase in remote workers."
Warrant: "Fewer interruptions and commute elimination allow deeper focus."
Backing: "Multiple studies confirm interruptions cost 23 min to recover from."

How to install
mdr add travisjneuman/.claude/debate-practice-coach@sha256:dc7dc00e06ef5e85The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260210.2fb1fb8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
