Contradiction Analyzer Skill

When browsing multiple sources, don't just collect facts—actively extract and summarize core arguments, claims, and contradictions. This skill helps OpenClaw identify primary and secondary contradictions, analyze information source bias, and generate structured contradiction analysis reports.

Core Design Philosophy

When AI searches for answers to complex questions involving open discussions, controversial topics, or multi-factor analysis, it often encounters information from multiple sources with different perspectives. Without a systematic contradiction analysis framework, the response may:

Simply list all viewpoints without identifying the core conflicts

Fail to distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions

Overlook the bias and stance of information sources

Miss extreme or emotionally charged content that should be flagged

The Contradiction Analyzer Skill provides a structured approach to:

1. Extract Contradictions: Actively identify core arguments and opposition points from multiple sources 2. Analyze Hierarchy: Distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions 3. Detect Bias: Analyze information source stance and credibility 4. Generate Reports: Output structured contradiction analysis briefings

Trigger Conditions

Automatically activates when user questions involve:

Open-ended discussions

Controversial topics

Multi-factor analysis

Questions containing keywords like "debate", "controversy", "different views", "pros and cons"

When search results contain multiple conflicting perspectives

Workflow

User Question
    ↓
【Step 1: Information Collection & Contradiction Extraction】
    - When browsing multiple sources, don't just collect facts
    - Actively extract and summarize core arguments, claims, and opposition points
    - Example for "AI and Employment":
      【Contradiction A】Productivity gains vs Job displacement
      【Contradiction B】New skill demands vs Existing skill obsolescence
      【Contradiction C】Global competition vs Local job protection
    ↓
【Step 2: Primary & Secondary Contradiction Analysis】
    - Analyze extracted contradictions by correlation, impact, and urgency
    - Identify:
      1. Primary Contradiction: Most decisive,贯穿始终 contradiction at current stage
      2. Secondary Contradictions: Derived from or influenced by primary contradiction
    - Evaluate which contradiction each information source focuses on
    ↓
【Step 3: Stance Identification & Information Weighting】
    - Analyze information source background (media type, author affiliation, tone)
    - Determine potential stance and interest倾向
    - Weight information credibility based on logic, data support, authority
    - Flag extreme/emotional/lack-of-evidence information
    ↓
【Step 4: Generate "Contradiction Analysis Briefing"】
    - Output structured briefing including:
      1. List of primary and secondary contradictions with brief analysis
      2. Information source stance map
      3. Identification of extreme/biased viewpoints
      4. Preliminary trend judgment based on current contradictions
    ↓
【Follow-up Steps】(Optional, can link with other skills)
    - User can request deeper "dialectical synthesis" or "devil's advocate analysis"
    - OC can conduct targeted secondary search based on primary contradiction
