Advocate Construction

Builds the most compelling argument for a position — typically a rejected candidate or counter-thesis. The advocate's job is to find every legitimate strength, reframe weaknesses, and construct a case that demands serious engagement.

Execution

Spawns a subagent with the advocate role. The subagent receives the rejected candidate and convergence context, then constructs the strongest possible case for resurrection or adoption.

Why Subagent

Role isolation prevents contamination from prior judgments
Advocate must genuinely argue FOR the position without hedging
Separation from critic/judge roles ensures intellectual honesty

HARD-GATE

Output must include:

Explicit thesis statement
= 3 supporting arguments with evidence
Reframing of at least 1 perceived weakness as a strength
Acknowledgment of genuine weaknesses (steel-manning, not straw-manning)

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
spawn-agent	Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
