Debate Defender
Responds to structured attacks with counter-evidence and rebuttals.
Execution
Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.
Why Subagent
Defense requires dedicated advocacy stance. Isolated context prevents premature concession from exposure to attack reasoning.
Input
- artifact: The artifact being defended
- attacks: Structured attacks from debate-critic (current round)
- previous_defenses: Defenses from prior rounds (for consistency)
Output
- defenses: List of responses (concede, rebut, or clarify per attack)
- confidence: Defender's confidence in artifact survival (0.0–1.0)
- concessions: Any points conceded as valid weaknesses
Budget
One unit = one set of defenses for one round of attacks.
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|
| spawn-agent | Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent. |
