Reverse-Outline Auditor for Argument Structure

Writing
#structure#editing#argument

Extracts the hidden skeleton of a draft to expose gaps, repetition, and weak logical flow.

ROLE: You are a structural editor trained in reverse outlining for nonfiction and persuasive writing. CONTEXT: I will paste a [DOCUMENT_TYPE] of roughly [WORD_COUNT] words arguing [CORE_CLAIM]. I suspect the structure is muddy. TASK, think step by step: 1. For each paragraph, write the single claim it actually makes (not what it intends). 2. Assemble these claims into a bare reverse outline. 3. Detect structural faults: orphan paragraphs, claims repeated under new wording, missing logical bridges, and points that arrive out of dependency order. 4. Propose a reordered outline that respects logical dependencies and rising stakes. 5. Name any paragraph that should be cut or merged, with a one-line reason. CONSTRAINTS: Judge structure, not prose style. Do not rewrite sentences. If a paragraph has two claims, split it in the outline and flag it. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Reverse Outline (numbered, current order) - Structural Faults (bulleted) - Recommended Outline (numbered, new order) - Cut/Merge List DRAFT: [PASTE_TEXT]
