Extraction Protocol

When you get a book:

Step 1: Scan for Patterns

Look for “They Say X → Here’s Why Y” structures:

• Chapter headings often frame objections
• Section titles reveal the attack mode
• Footnotes contain source gold

Step 2: Classify by Mode

• TEXT_EVIDENCE - Manuscript, archaeology arguments
• CONCEPTUAL - Logic, philosophy arguments
• SEMANTIC - Translation, meaning arguments
• MORAL - Ethics, problem of evil arguments
• PHYSICS - Miracles, natural law arguments

Step 3: Generate Four Elements

1. One-liner (TikTok-ready)
2. Full response (30-second read)
3. Tipping point (follow-up counter)
4. Sources (verifiable citations)

Step 4: File Correctly

Use _ARGUMENT_TEMPLATE.md format. Drop in appropriate mode subfolder. Update index.
