Use Claude to attack your own arguments

This prompt instructs Claude to act as a "skeptical professor" and hunt down the weak points in your reasoning: flawed assumptions, missing evidence, vague phrasing, and potential counterexamples.

The core idea is that a good paper doesn't start by defending ideas, but by exposing them to attacks early on. By the time actual peer review happens, major issues are already resolved.
