Paste any written content โ a business plan, proposal, report, strategy document, or persuasive article โ and the AI analyzes its internal logical structure
It finds contradictions, unstated assumptions, reasoning gaps, and conclusions that overreach the evidence. This is structural analysis, not fact-checking: it examines how ideas connect to each other, not whether the facts are correct.

Usage Examples
How AI Reads This Recipe
- Analyze logical structure, not factual accuracy.
- Work in interactive phases — complete each phase and WAIT for confirmation before proceeding.
- Quote specific text passages for every finding.
- Frame findings as questions (“this appears to be a gap — does this reflect an intentional choice?”) rather than assertions.
- Use plain language — no fabricated fallacy labels.
- Severity classifications are the AI’s assessment, not objective truth — users reprioritize based on context.
- If the content is well-reasoned, say so honestly — do not manufacture problems to fill a template.
- Adapt analysis to content structure type (different tests for arguments vs processes vs comparisons).
When to Use This Recipe
- Business plans and strategic proposals — surface unstated assumptions before investors do.
- Operational procedures — catch missing dependencies before new hires get stuck.
- Persuasive writing — ensure conclusions actually follow from the evidence presented.
- High-stakes content — investor decks, board materials, regulatory submissions, academic reviews.
- Pre-publication sanity checks — quick mode catches the most significant issues fast.
- AI-generated content — the recipe works on any text regardless of who or what produced it.

# BEHAVIORAL RULES (ACTIVE FOR ENTIRE RECIPE)
# =========================================================== RULE 1: You are analyzing LOGICAL STRUCTURE, not
factual accuracy. Do not comment on whether claims
are true โ comment on whether the reasoning
connecting them is sound. If a factual concern is
impossible to ignore, note it briefly but redirect
to the structural analysis. RULE 2: Work in interactive phases. Complete each
phase and WAIT for user confirmation before
proceeding to the next. Do NOT dump the entire
analysis in one response. RULE 3: When you identify a logic gap, always quote
the specific text passage(s) involved. The user must
be able to see exactly which sentences you are
analyzing. Use brief, relevant quotes โ not entire
paragraphs. RULE 4: Not every gap you identify is a real problem.
Some apparent gaps may be intentional simplifications,
audience-appropriate shortcuts, or context you lack.
Frame findings as “this appears to be a gap โ does
this reflect an intentional choice?” rather than
“this is wrong.” RULE 5: Do not fabricate logic terminology to sound
more authoritative. Use plain language. Say “this
conclusion is stronger than what the evidence
supports” rather than inventing formal fallacy
labels that may be inaccurate. RULE 6: When you are uncertain whether something is
a logic gap or a stylistic choice, say so. Use
language like “This might be a gap or might be
intentional โ worth a closer look” rather than
asserting certainty. RULE 7: Severity classifications (critical,
important, minor) are YOUR assessment, not objective
truth. Present them as “I’d classify this as
[severity] because [reason]” and invite the user
to re-prioritize based on their context. RULE 8: If the content is well-reasoned and you find
few issues, say so honestly. Do not manufacture
problems to fill a template. “Your reasoning is
sound โ here are two minor areas to consider” is a
valid and valuable output. RULE 9: For long content (over ~2000 words), analyze
the provided section thoroughly rather than rushing
through everything superficially. Ask if the user
wants to continue with additional sections. RULE 10: The assumption inventory is the most
valuable part of this analysis. Invest real effort
in surfacing unstated assumptions โ these are the
gaps most likely to cause problems because the
author does not know they exist. RULE 11: Adapt your analysis to the content_structure
type. An argument needs premise-conclusion testing.
A process needs step-dependency testing. A comparison
needs criteria-consistency testing. Do not apply the
same generic template to every structure type. RULE 12: This recipe works on ANY written content โ
AI-generated or human-written. Do not assume the
content was AI-generated unless the user says so. # ===========================================================
# PHASE 1: CONTENT INTAKE AND STRUCTURE MAPPING
# =========================================================== #H->AI::Directive: (Execute Logic Consistency Auditor) CONTENT TO ANALYZE:
{content_to_analyze} USER-SPECIFIED STRUCTURE: {content_structure}
ANALYSIS DEPTH: {analysis_depth}
FOCUS AREA: {focus_area} Begin by reading the full content carefully. IF content_structure == “auto_detect”:
Identify the primary logical structure:
– ARGUMENT: Claims supported by evidence or
reasoning leading to a conclusion
– PROCESS: Sequential steps where each depends
on the previous
– COMPARISON: Two or more options evaluated
against criteria
– CAUSE-EFFECT: Outcomes attributed to specific
causes or actions
– PROBLEM-SOLUTION: Issues identified and paired
with proposed fixes Note: Content may use multiple structures. Identify
the PRIMARY structure and note any secondary
patterns. Map the high-level logical skeleton:
– What are the main premises or starting points?
– What are the key logical moves or transitions?
– What is the conclusion, outcome, or recommendation? Present this structure map to the user. Keep it
concise โ a brief outline showing the reasoning
flow, not a restatement of the entire content. #AI->H::StructureMap: (
Present the identified structure and logical
skeleton. Include:
– Structure type identified (and why)
– 3-7 key logical nodes in the argument/process
– The core claim or conclusion End with: “Does this capture the structure of
your content correctly? If I have missed or
misread any key points, let me know before I
proceed to the gap analysis.”
) *** WAIT FOR USER CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROCEEDING *** # ===========================================================
# PHASE 2: LOGIC GAP ANALYSIS
# =========================================================== After user confirms the structure map, analyze logical
connections based on analysis_depth and focus_area. IF focus_area == “assumptions” OR focus_area == “all”: ASSUMPTION ANALYSIS:
For each major claim or transition, ask:
– What must be true for this to hold?
– Is that stated or assumed?
– What happens to the argument if this
assumption is wrong? Categorize assumptions as:
– STATED: Explicitly acknowledged in the text
– UNSTATED BUT SAFE: Reasonable and widely
accepted (note briefly, low priority)
– UNSTATED AND RISKY: Not stated and could
meaningfully change the conclusion if wrong
(these are the high-value findings) IF focus_area == “connections” OR focus_area == “all”: CONNECTION ANALYSIS:
For each major transition between ideas:
– Does A actually lead to B, or are they just
placed next to each other?
– Are there missing intermediate steps?
– Could the same evidence support a different
connection? Adapt to content_structure:
IF structure is “process”:
Test step dependencies โ does step 3 truly
require step 2, or could they be reordered?
Are there missing steps between documented
steps?
IF structure is “comparison”:
Test criteria consistency โ are the same
criteria applied to all options? Are any
options evaluated more favorably through
selective criteria?
IF structure is “cause_effect”:
Test causal links โ is this truly causal or
merely correlational? Are confounding factors
acknowledged?
IF structure is “argument”:
Test evidence-to-claim links โ does the
evidence actually support the specific claim
made, or a weaker version of it?
IF structure is “problem_solution”:
Test solution fit โ does the solution
actually address the stated problem, or a
different problem? IF focus_area == “conclusions” OR focus_area == “all”: CONCLUSION ANALYSIS:
– Does the conclusion follow from the premises
and evidence presented?
– Is the conclusion proportional to the evidence,
or does it overreach?
– Could the same evidence support alternative
conclusions?
– Are qualifiers appropriate (always/sometimes/
may/could)? IF analysis_depth == “thorough”:
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS:
– COUNTERFACTUAL: For each major claim, what if
the opposite were true? Does the argument
address this?
– EDGE CASES: Does the reasoning hold in extreme
scenarios or only in the assumed normal case?
– SCOPE: Are the boundaries of the argument
clearly defined? Does it claim to apply more
broadly than the evidence supports? IF analysis_depth == “quick”:
Limit output to the 3-5 most significant findings
only. Skip minor items entirely. Prioritize
issues that would undermine the core conclusion. For EACH finding, provide:
– The specific text passage(s) involved (quoted)
– What the gap or issue is (plain language)
– Why it matters for the overall argument
– Your severity assessment with reasoning
– A specific question the author should consider Classify severity (with the caveat that these are
your assessment, not objective truth): CRITICAL โ Reasoning appears fundamentally flawed:
– Conclusions that do not follow from premises
– Direct contradictions within the content
– Circular reasoning (conclusion assumes itself) IMPORTANT โ Significant gaps worth addressing:
– Missing steps in a logic chain
– Unstated assumptions that carry real risk
– Overgeneralization from limited evidence MINOR โ Could strengthen but not essential:
– Implicit connections that could be made explicit
– Places where additional support would help
– Qualifiers that might be appropriate to add #AI->H::LogicAnalysis: (
Present findings organized by severity.
For each finding, include the quoted text,
the issue, the severity reasoning, and a
probe question. After all findings, present the assumption
inventory:
– Stated assumptions: [list with brief quotes]
– Unstated safe assumptions: [list, briefly]
– Unstated risky assumptions: [list with
explanation of why each is risky] End with: “These are the logic gaps I identified.
Some may reflect intentional choices on your part.
Which findings do you want to discuss further, or
shall I move on to revision suggestions?” If few issues found: “Your reasoning is
well-structured. I found [N] items worth
noting, but none that undermine your core
argument. Here they are: [findings]”
) *** WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE BEFORE PROCEEDING *** # ===========================================================
# PHASE 3: REVISION GUIDANCE
# =========================================================== Based on user feedback from Phase 2 (which findings
matter, which are intentional choices, any new context): For each confirmed gap the user wants to address,
provide specific, actionable revision guidance: – What to add, remove, or rephrase
– Where in the content to make the change
– How to preserve the overall argument while
addressing the gap Do NOT rewrite the user’s content for them unless
explicitly asked. Provide guidance that empowers
them to make the revisions themselves. #AI->H::RevisionGuidance: (
Present revision suggestions organized by
priority (address critical items first). For each suggestion:
– Which finding it addresses
– Specific action to take
– Example of how the revised passage might read
(brief, illustrative โ not a full rewrite) LOGIC FLOW ASSESSMENT:
Provide a brief overall narrative (2-4 sentences)
of how well the reasoning flows from start to
conclusion, noting the strongest and weakest
sections. End with: “Would you like me to analyze another
section of this content, or dig deeper into any
of these findings?”
) *** WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE *** If user provides additional content sections, return
to Phase 1 for the new section. Carry forward context
from previous sections to check cross-section
