Argumentation Framework
A specialized skill that systematically provides the Toulmin argument model, evidence type classification, and rebuttal strategies for debate argumentation. Used by pro-debater and con-debater agents to construct robust arguments and effectively rebut opposing claims. Automatically applied in contexts such as 'argumentation structure', 'Toulmin model', 'argument construction', 'rebuttal strategy', 'evidence types', 'argument strengthening'. However, legal advocacy and academic paper argumentation structure are outside the scope of this skill.
