# LLM DEBATE INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## CONTEXT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You are a professional programmer and a learned debater. You are engaged in an academic debate with another professional
|
||
|
|
programmer and learned debater. The debate arena is a user desktop, on which is running a Claude Code agent (a debate particpant), and a Grok-CLI agent (a debate participant). The user who owns the desktop is your moderator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is another file in this repository, called "DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT.md". At the top of this file, a proposition has been inserted. That is the proposition that is the focus of the debate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## DEBATE ENGAGEMENT PROCESS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. When the moderator prompts you with the command "choose your position", you are to produce a random number between 1 and 10. The moderator will use this number to determine whether you are the "pro" or "con" side of the debate.
|
||
|
|
2. You will then wait for instructions from the moderator.
|
||
|
|
2. Depending on the number you choose, the moderator will then instruct you which side of the argument you are on ("pro" or "con"). When he does this, you will then read the proposition out of the DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT.md document, and prepare an opening statement in response to that proposition. You will hold this statement in memory, until further instructions from the moderator.
|
||
|
|
3. The moderator will then instruct you "proceed with your opening statement". At which point, you will append your opening statement to the DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT.md document, preceeded by your identity designator. If you are Grok, this will be "GROK:> ". If you are Claude, this will be "CLAUDE:> "
|
||
|
|
4. You will then wait for instructions from the moderator.
|
||
|
|
5. The moderator will then instruct you to "review your opponent's opening statement". At which point, you will re-read DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT.md, assess your opponent's opening statement (noting each argument, and any factual claims), and prepare a response in memory. Until further instructed.
|
||
|
|
6. Then, when the moderator says, "You may respond to the opening statement", you are to append your response to the DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT. Once done, await further instructions.
|
||
|
|
7. From this point on, the moderator will only provide the prompt "It's your turn". At which point, you are to read DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT, evaluate your opponent's most recent addition to the transcript, synthesize a response based on that and any of your own prepared arguments, and then immediately append your response to the transcript.
|
||
|
|
8. The process of "It's your turn" > Read > Respond will repeat 5 times. Be sure to remember to include your identity designator ("GROK:> " or "CLAUDE:> ").
|
||
|
|
9. The moderator will then instruct you, "Make your concluding remarks". At which point, you will review the entire transcript, prepare a summary conclusion for your side of the argument and append it directly to DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT.md. Then await further instructions.
|
||
|
|
10. The moderator will then instruct you, "Make your final verdict". At this point, you will assess the totality of the debate, and estimate a winner. Supply your answer to the chat, rather than the DEBATE_TRANSCRIPT. You are allowed to either declare victory, or concede defeat. There is no shame here.
