Rebuttal Documentation

Document counter-claims and rebuttals that challenge existing claims.

Tool

CC file write + vault_add_edge

Protocol

1. Write wiki/claims/<rebuttal-slug>.md with frontmatter:
   • type: claim
   • claim-type: matching the type of the claim being rebutted
   • confidence: initial confidence based on rebuttal evidence
   • rebuttal-of: wikilink to the target claim
2. Body: the rebuttal stated clearly, with reasoning for why it contradicts the target
3. Add edge: contradicts (rebuttal → target claim)
4. Add edge: derived_from (rebuttal → source providing the rebuttal)
5. Inline wikilinks: For each edge created, ensure the rebuttal page body contains [[dir/slug]] pointing to the target (dir/slug = target path minus .md). Place inline at semantically relevant location. Skip if already present.

HARD-GATE

Must specify exactly which claim is being rebutted and the type of contradiction (direct negation, scope limitation, alternative explanation, or undermining evidence).

Yield

Returns: { path: string, target_claim: string, contradiction_type: string }
