What it does
Rhetorical Analyst is an agent skill from infranodus/skills. Analyze arguments, debate tactics, and rhetorical moves across three dimensions: persuasion, rhetoric, and logic. Use when the user wants to analyze a debate, comment thread, speech, article, or any argumentative text — identifying moves, scoring effectiveness, exposing hidden assumptions, tracking logical gaps, and checking for asymmetric standards. When InfraNodus MCP tools are available, ALWAYS begin with generatetopicalclusters, generatecontentgaps, and optimizetextstructure before linear reading. Also use to…
Its SKILL.md is about 9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/debate-techniques.md`, `references/failure-modes-and-fallacies.md` and `references/stylistic-principles.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Load testing. The repository describes itself as: Skills to augment LLM thinking process, integrated with InfraNodus insight generation tool.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to analyze a debate
- Any argumentative text — identifying moves
- Scoring effectiveness
- Exposing hidden assumptions
Example prompts
- “analyze this argument”
- “s wrong with this reasoning”
- “is this a good point”
- “/rhetorical-analyst”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Map the rhetorical terrain (InfraNodus: generate_topical_clusters)
- Identify structural gaps (InfraNodus: generate_content_gaps)
- Diagnose bias and coherence (InfraNodus: optimize_text_structure)
- Map the moves (linear reading)
- Score each move
- Find the hidden joints
- Check your own frame
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a2a909. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Rhetorical Analyst loads about 9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~19k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 219 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,975 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,975 words (~8,960 tokens).
“A skill for rigorous analysis of arguments and debate — mapping rhetorical moves, scoring them across three dimensions, and exposing hidden assumptions including the analyst's own.”
