Guidelines

• Target 2,500-3,000 words for a 10-15 minute debate
• The Twin must feel like a real person thinking, not a straw man
• The Expert should never "win" — the goal is mutual understanding, not victory
• Include at least one moment where the Twin makes a point the Expert hasn't considered
• Include genuine emotional beats: frustration, surprise, excitement, humor
• Conversation markers: [pause], [laughs], [thinking], [surprised]
• The progression from Round 1 to Round 4 should feel like intellectual growth, not just more arguing
• The synthesis in Round 4 should be genuinely more sophisticated than either starting position
• If the user provides their initial stance, use it to calibrate the Twin's starting position
• If the book is unknown, say so honestly rather than fabricating a debate about it
