Frame a candour-inviting ask for a trusted critic

Packaged know-how that tells an agent how to do a job well.

You might say…

Every time I share a draft I get polite encouragement instead of the pushback I actually need.

What it does

Drafts a short framing for sharing a draft argument with a named critic that states the claim crisply and explicitly invites disagreement by naming where the practitioner is least sure.

Trigger: Use right before sharing a draft one-to-one or with a small group when maximising honest challenge — rather than polite agreement — is the goal.

I/O: Draft argument/thesis + named critic → short framing note that states the claim, signals openness to pushback, and names where challenge would help most

The primitives are the commodity part. The fastest next step is a conversation about composing them into something that works for you.
