Construct well-structured arguments using the hypothesis-argument-example triad. Covers formulating falsifiable hypotheses, building logical arguments (deductive, inductive, analogical, evidential), providing concrete examples, and steelmanning counterarguments. Use when writing or reviewing PR descriptions that propose technical changes, justifying design decisions in ADRs, constructing substantive code review feedback, or building a research argument or technical proposal.

Build rigorous arguments from hypothesis through reasoning to concrete evidence. Every persuasive technical claim follows the same triad: a clear hypothesis states what you believe, an argument explains why it holds, and examples prove that it holds. This skill teaches you to apply that structure to code reviews, design decisions, research writing, and any context where claims need justification.

State your claim as a clear, falsifiable hypothesis. A hypothesis is not an opinion or a preference -- it is a specific assertion that can be tested against evidence.
