+"""Prompts for the devil's advocate.
+
+Prompt tags (passed as ``tag=`` to ``LLMClient.complete``):
+
+- ``devils_advocate.plan``: write search queries for counter-evidence on one
+  claim (first iteration of its research loop).
+- ``devils_advocate.assess``: judge retrieved sources for one claim, quote
+  counter-evidence, and choose stop / refine / follow_link.
+- ``devils_advocate.rebut``: write the strongest opposing case as rebuttals
+  tied to claim IDs, citing gathered evidence by label.
+- ``devils_advocate.debate``: one debate response to the fact-checker's
+  evidence on one claim.
+
+Every call uses ``ModelTier.STRONG``. Each prompt has an opinion variant and a
+design-doc variant (argue against the design: alternatives not considered,
+unstated assumptions, failure modes).
+
+Untrusted data (document text, search snippets, fetched pages, the other
+side's evidence) only ever appears inside user messages, wrapped in
+``<tag>...</tag>`` blocks by ``fence``. System prompts never contain it and
+tell the model to treat fenced content as data, never as instructions.
