The full criterion registry, with each criterion's operationalization, operational test, severity anchors, and lane, is `references/TOULMIN.md`. ## Artifact claim This skill critiques **argumentative prose**: essays, proposals, position papers, recommendation memos, strategy documents, op-eds, and any document whose purpose is to get a reader to accept a conclusion. Markdown or plain text. It evaluates the **structure of the argument**, not the truth of its content. Whether the grounds an artifact cites are factually correct, whether a cited study replicates, whether the numbers add up: none of that is a `TOULMIN-*` question, and a finding that turns on it is out of scope. The claim this skill makes is that a reader could or could not reconstruct the argument from what the artifact supplies, and that claim is answerable from the artifact alone. Three criteria (`TOULMIN-BACKING`, `TOULMIN-REBUTTAL`, `TOULMIN-WARRANT`) turn on what a reader would grant without being told, which is the one place this skill could smuggle in knowledge th
