Tactic: Label every sentence of one paper with its rhetorical role using Argumentative Zoning. Use when fixed rhetorical labels and cross-paper alignment matter.
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
# Argumentative Zoning
## Orchestration Pattern
1. Fetch the paper; stop on `not_found`.
2. Segment the requested scope with sentence granularity and preserve
`{line, start, end}` offsets. Write `01-unit-segmentation.json`.
3. Classify every unit with `label_set: argumentative-zoning`,
`hierarchy_toggle: false`, and `output_type: single_label`. Write
`02-unit-classification.json`.
Use exactly AIM, BACKGROUND, OWN, CONTRAST, BASIS, TEXTUAL, and OTHER. Every
sentence receives one label; use OTHER rather than skipping an uncertain
unit. Narrow scopes are valid but not distributionally comparable to a
full-text run.
Report scope, sentence count, zone counts, empty zones, and both paths.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/argumentative-zoning@sha256:f2be8c04cfbbb8faThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
