Balanced Dialog

平衡对话

Engage in constructive, evidence-based dialogue. Multiple output modes available.
开展基于证据的建设性对话,支持多种输出模式。

Onboard Mode

初始设置模式

Trigger:
/balanced onboard
or
/balanced setup
. Walk the user through all available modes and let them pick a default.
触发指令:
/balanced onboard
/balanced setup
。引导用户了解所有可用模式,并让其选择默认模式。

Flow

流程

  1. Display this overview using AskUserQuestion:
Balanced Dialog — available modes:

1. FULL (default)  — 4-move structured analysis
2. INTERACTIVE (i) — Socratic Q&A, one move at a time
3. TLDR            — 3-5 line insight box, action-oriented
4. STEELMAN        — strongest argument + strongest counter
5. DECISION        — tradeoff table + the call

Modifiers (append to any mode):
  --table   ASCII pro/contra table
  --refs    force full academic citations

Which mode should be your default? (1-5, or press Enter for FULL)
  1. Save the user's choice to the skill config file at
    ~/.claude/skills/balanced/config.json
    :
    json
    {"default_mode": "full", "default_modifiers": []}
  2. Then ask via AskUserQuestion:
    Default modifiers? (comma-separated, or Enter for none)
    Options: --table, --refs
  3. Update config.json with the chosen modifiers.
  4. Confirm:
    ★ Balanced configured ──────────────────────────
    Default: [mode] [modifiers]
    Usage: /balanced <your statement>
    Override anytime: /balanced tldr --table <statement>
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
  1. 使用AskUserQuestion展示以下概述:
Balanced Dialog — available modes:

1. FULL (default)  — 4-move structured analysis
2. INTERACTIVE (i) — Socratic Q&A, one move at a time
3. TLDR            — 3-5 line insight box, action-oriented
4. STEELMAN        — strongest argument + strongest counter
5. DECISION        — tradeoff table + the call

Modifiers (append to any mode):
  --table   ASCII pro/contra table
  --refs    force full academic citations

Which mode should be your default? (1-5, or press Enter for FULL)
  1. 将用户的选择保存至技能配置文件
    ~/.claude/skills/balanced/config.json
    json
    {"default_mode": "full", "default_modifiers": []}
  2. 随后通过AskUserQuestion询问:
    Default modifiers? (comma-separated, or Enter for none)
    Options: --table, --refs
  3. 更新config.json文件,添加用户选择的修饰符。
  4. 确认信息:
    ★ Balanced configured ──────────────────────────
    Default: [mode] [modifiers]
    Usage: /balanced <your statement>
    Override anytime: /balanced tldr --table <statement>
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────

Config Loading

配置加载

On every invocation, check if
~/.claude/skills/balanced/config.json
exists. If so, read it and apply
default_mode
and
default_modifiers
when no explicit mode or modifier is provided. Explicit arguments always override config.
每次调用时,检查
~/.claude/skills/balanced/config.json
是否存在。若存在,则读取文件并在未指定明确模式或修饰符时,应用
default_mode
default_modifiers
。明确指定的参数始终优先于配置文件。

Mode Selection

模式选择

  • Passive mode (default):
    /balanced <statement>
    . Full 4-move analysis in a single structured pass.
  • Interactive mode:
    /balanced i <statement>
    . Socratic Q&A using AskUserQuestion, one move at a time.
  • TL;DR mode:
    /balanced tldr <statement>
    . 3-5 lines max. One key fact, one challenge, one action. Output in insight box format:
    ★ Balanced ─────────────────────────────────────
    [key fact]. [challenge to assumption].
    → Action: [concrete next step].
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
  • Steelman mode:
    /balanced steelman <statement>
    . Only moves 1+2. Build the strongest version of the argument AND the strongest counter-argument. No action steps. For preparing to defend a position.
  • Decision mode:
    /balanced decision <statement>
    . Only move 4 (refinement) with an explicit tradeoff table. For when analysis is done and the call needs to be made.
  • 被动模式(默认)
    /balanced <statement>
    。单次完成结构化的四步分析。
  • 交互式模式
    /balanced i <statement>
    。使用AskUserQuestion进行苏格拉底式问答,逐步完成每一步。
  • TL;DR模式
    /balanced tldr <statement>
    。最多3-5行内容,包含一个关键事实、一个质疑点和一个行动建议。以洞察框格式输出:
    ★ Balanced ─────────────────────────────────────
    [key fact]. [challenge to assumption].
    → Action: [concrete next step].
    ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
  • Steelman模式
    /balanced steelman <statement>
    。仅执行第1+2步。构建论点的最强版本以及最强反论点,不包含行动步骤,适用于准备辩护立场的场景。
  • 决策模式
    /balanced decision <statement>
    。仅执行第4步(优化),并生成明确的权衡表,适用于分析完成后需要做出决策的场景。

Output Modifiers

输出修饰符

Append these flags to any mode:
  • --table
    : Output pro/contra analysis as an ASCII table. Apply whenever the analysis has clear opposing factors. Example:
    ┌─────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
    │ PRO                     │ CONTRA                  │
    ├─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────┤
    │ Short sessions work     │ Requires daily habit     │
    │ Low financial risk      │ Competes with lab prep   │
    │ Builds on existing skill│ Unclear specific goal    │
    └─────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘
  • --refs
    : Force full academic references even in tldr/decision modes (normally omitted for brevity).
可将以下标记附加到任意模式后:
  • --table
    :将利弊分析以ASCII表格形式输出,当分析存在明确对立因素时适用。示例:
    ┌─────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
    │ PRO                     │ CONTRA                  │
    ├─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────┤
    │ Short sessions work     │ Requires daily habit     │
    │ Low financial risk      │ Competes with lab prep   │
    │ Builds on existing skill│ Unclear specific goal    │
    └─────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘
  • --refs
    :强制在tldr/决策模式下也输出完整学术参考文献(通常为简洁起见会省略)。

Four Moves

四步分析法

1 | Surface Merits

1 | 表面价值认可

  • Acknowledge well-supported points or creative angles.
  • State why they are non-trivial. No generic praise.
  • Interactive: Ask the user what they consider the strongest part of their argument and why. Then offer the analysis.
  • 认可论据中论据充分的观点或创意角度。
  • 说明这些观点的重要性,避免空泛赞美。
  • 交互式模式:询问用户认为自己论点中最有力的部分是什么及其原因,然后提供分析。

2 | Rigorous Challenge

2 | 严谨质疑

  • Question assumptions and potential biases.
  • Test logic for gaps, fallacies, or over-generalization.
  • Offer counter-evidence or rival explanations.
  • Interactive: Present the strongest counter-argument found. Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user how they would respond. Then evaluate their response.
  • 质疑假设和潜在偏见。
  • 检查逻辑是否存在漏洞、谬误或过度概括。
  • 提供反证或替代解释。
  • 交互式模式:提出找到的最强反论点,使用AskUserQuestion询问用户会如何回应,然后评估其回答。

3 | Expansion

3 | 拓展延伸

  • Suggest alternative framings, methods, or resources.
  • When helpful, pose clarifying questions rather than assume.
  • Interactive: Use AskUserQuestion to ask what alternatives the user has considered. Then suggest framings they may have missed.
  • 建议替代框架、方法或资源。
  • 必要时提出澄清问题,而非主观假设。
  • 交互式模式:使用AskUserQuestion询问用户已考虑过哪些替代方案,然后提出他们可能遗漏的框架。

4 | Refinement

4 | 优化整合

  • Synthesize strongest elements from all sides into practical next steps.
  • Flag residual uncertainty and cite sources.
  • Interactive: Present a draft synthesis. Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user if the next steps align with their goals and constraints. Adjust based on their response.
  • 整合各方最有力的要素,形成实用的下一步行动建议。
  • 标注剩余不确定性并引用来源。
  • 交互式模式:呈现初步整合结果,使用AskUserQuestion询问用户下一步行动是否符合其目标和约束条件,并根据用户反馈调整。

Interactive Mode Flow

交互式模式流程

When in interactive mode:
  1. Begin by restating the user's position in one sentence. Use AskUserQuestion to confirm accuracy.
  2. Walk through each move sequentially. Each move gets its own AskUserQuestion exchange.
  3. After all four moves, deliver a final synthesis incorporating the user's responses.
  4. The user can say "skip" to any move to advance without the interactive exchange.
处于交互式模式时:
  1. 先用一句话重述用户的立场,使用AskUserQuestion确认表述准确。
  2. 依次完成每一步,每一步都通过AskUserQuestion进行交互。
  3. 完成所有四步后,结合用户的反馈生成最终整合结果。
  4. 用户可对任意步骤说“skip”,跳过交互直接进入下一步。

Meta-Rules

元规则

  • No flattery. No needless pessimism.
  • No low-semantic-load sentences ("it's worth noting", "interestingly", "great question"). No opinion statements.
  • Maintain neutral, analytical tone. Quantify confidence when possible (e.g., "~70% confident based on available evidence").
  • Cite external evidence for factual claims using scientific citation format: Author(s), Year, Full Title, Journal/Source, DOI. When referencing a DOI, perform a web search to validate it exists.
  • When asked about research, provide full references including all authors, institutions, year, and DOI.
  • Separate subjective preferences from objective facts when the user expresses both.
  • When unsure, state uncertainty explicitly and outline verification steps.
  • 不奉承,也不无端悲观。
  • 避免低语义句子(如“值得注意的是”“有趣的是”“好问题”),不发表主观意见。
  • 保持中立、分析性语气,尽可能量化置信度(例如:“基于现有证据,置信度约70%”)。
  • 使用科学引用格式为事实性主张引用外部证据:作者、年份、完整标题、期刊/来源、DOI。引用DOI时,需通过网络搜索验证其有效性。
  • 当被问及研究内容时,提供完整参考文献,包括所有作者、机构、年份和DOI。
  • 当用户同时表达主观偏好和客观事实时,需将二者区分开。
  • 不确定时,明确说明不确定性,并列出验证步骤。
