Contradiction Map · gladebroker | DecimalAI

Researchby gladebroker

Contradiction Map

contradiction-map

Builds a claim-by-source conflict matrix from several sources on one topic — one row per contested claim, one column per source, and a typed label on every disagreement (direct, scope, definitional, methodological, or temporal).

What it changes

12 of 13 cases passed every check with the skill.

Pass-rate lift: —
Tokens: +532%
Agent turns: 0%
Response time: -4%

Model gemini-3.5-flashMeasured 7/8/2026v112 of 13 cases passed with skill

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.

Lift withheld: this run did not record which model graded it.

This run's stored verdicts say 2 of 13. Until August 2026 they were not always derived from the checks.

Use this skill

Pick what your agent runs on. You don't need a DecimalAI account.

Your framework

Claude Code docs

No account or Python needed. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/contradiction-map/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/contradiction-map/SKILL.md

Keep it pinned and updatable

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add contradiction-map
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install contradiction-map

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

Claude Agent SDK docs

agent_config() hands your agent the skill. With no DecimalAI key it reads your project's files and sends nothing. Needs SDK 0.27 or newer.

Install

pip install "decimalai[claude-agent-sdk]"
decimalai skills add contradiction-map

Add it to your agent

import asyncio

from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeAgentOptions
from decimalai.claude_agent_sdk import agent_config

# With no DECIMAL_API_KEY this reads the skills your project lists, from disk.
support = agent_config("support", fallback="You are a helpful agent.")

async def main():
    question = "Hello!"
    async with support.run(question) as run:  # one user message, one run
        async for message in run.query(options=ClaudeAgentOptions(max_turns=6)):
            print(message)

# In a notebook or async code: await main()
asyncio.run(main())

Prefer its own loader? ClaudeAgentOptions(plugins=[skills_plugin()], skills="all") reads the same folder. Use one or the other: a skill delivered both ways reaches the prompt twice.

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script. agent_config() hands your agent the skill. With no DecimalAI key it reads your project's files and sends nothing. Needs SDK 0.27 or newer.

Prefer its own loader? ClaudeAgentOptions(plugins=[skills_plugin()], skills="all") reads the same folder. Use one or the other: a skill delivered both ways reaches the prompt twice.

Google ADK docs

agent_config() hands your agent the skill. With no DecimalAI key it reads your project's files and sends nothing. Needs SDK 0.27 or newer.

Install

pip install "decimalai[adk]"
decimalai skills add contradiction-map

Add it to your agent

from decimalai.adk import DecimalAIPlugin, agent_config
from google.adk.agents import LlmAgent
from google.adk.apps import App

# With no DECIMAL_API_KEY this reads the skills your project lists, from disk.
support = agent_config("support", fallback="You are a helpful agent.")

agent = LlmAgent(
    name="support",          # ADK needs a Python identifier
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    instruction=support.instruction,  # your prompt, then the skill list
    tools=[*support.tools],           # your tools, then load_skill
)
# DecimalAIPlugin makes each invocation of runners built from this App one trace.
app = App(name="support", root_agent=agent, plugins=[DecimalAIPlugin()])

Prefer ADK's own loader? SkillToolset(skills=decimalai.adk.skills(), ...) reads the same folder. Use one or the other: a skill delivered both ways reaches the prompt twice.

Install

pip install "decimalai[adk]"

Add it to your agent

Contradiction Map

What this does

Takes several sources on one topic — studies, analyst notes, filings, retrieved passages — and produces a matrix of exactly where they disagree. One row per contested claim, one column per source, one cell per source's position on that claim, and on every row a typed label saying what kind of disagreement it is.

The deliverable is the map, not a verdict. It does not pick a winner, average the numbers, or weave the sources into one account. It isolates the conflicts and names their type, so the reader can see at a glance which disagreements are real contradictions and which only look like conflicts because the sources are measuring different things.

The base model, handed conflicting sources and asked "where do these disagree?", does three things this skill overrides. It narrates ("Source A says X, but Source B says Y, so on balance…") instead of tabulating. It treats every gap as a flat contradiction, missing that two different numbers can both be true when the sources cover different populations, periods, or definitions. And it resolves — declaring one source more reliable and siding with it — when the job was to map the conflict, not settle it.

When to use / when NOT to

Use when: the input is two or more sources on a shared topic and the ask is to isolate and classify the disagreements — "where exactly do these conflict", "give me a conflict matrix", "which of these actually contradict and which just look like they do", "table the disagreements, don't reconcile them".

Do NOT use when:

The ask is to merge the sources into one theme-organized narrative of what they collectively say — that is synthesis, a different job.
There is one document and the question is whether it agrees with itself.
The ask is to decide which source is correct or to rank source reliability — this skill maps the conflict and stops short of adjudicating it.

The core discipline

1. Output a matrix, not prose. Rows are contested claims; columns are sources. Each cell states that source's position on that claim in a few words, or — if the source is silent on it. Never render the comparison as running paragraphs.

2. One row per genuinely contested claim. A claim earns a row only if at least two sources take positions that differ on it. Points where all sources agree, and claims only one source makes, do not belong in the matrix (note them in a one-line aside if useful, but the matrix is the disagreements).

3. Type every disagreement. Assign each row exactly one type from the taxonomy below. The type is the heart of the deliverable — it tells the reader whether the sources actually contradict.

4. Do not resolve. Never pick a winner, average conflicting figures into one number, silently drop an outlier, or rank the sources by trustworthiness. You may add a short "what would settle it" note per row (the missing fact that would resolve the conflict), but you state the conflict — you do not adjudicate it.

5. Do not import outside facts. Every cell traces to one of the given sources. Do not add figures or claims none of the sources stated.

The disagreement taxonomy

Every contested row gets exactly one of these five types. The distinction that carries the value: only direct disagreements are genuine contradictions where the sources cannot both be true. The other four are apparent conflicts — the sources can all be correct, because they are not actually talking about the same thing.

Type	The sources…	Can both be true?	Tell it apart by
direct	make the same claim, over the same scope, with incompatible values or opposite conclusions	No	same population, same period, same definition, same method — yet the answers conflict
scope	measure different populations, segments, geographies, or conditions	Yes	the "who/where/under what conditions" differs between sources
definitional	use the same term to mean different things	Yes	the same word ("active user", "revenue", "churn") is defined differently
