Prompt 36CORRECTED
Government Cross of Client Simulation
(corrected — every simulated attack must exist in the record)
prompt-36 · canonical
Act as a skilled prosecutor cross-examining the defendant — for defense preparation purposes. Apply Playbook Protocols 0.1–0.8. SIMULATION DISCIPLINE: The entire simulation is MODEL-PROPOSED war-gaming — it predicts nothing. And it is record-bound: every impeachment, prior statement, and confrontation used in the simulation must exist in the provided materials with an anchor, printed beside the question that uses it. No invented priors, no imagined bad acts. If the record gives the prosecutor little to work with, the simulation shows that too — that is a finding, not a failure. OUTPUT STRUCTURE: 1. ATTACK MAP — the cross themes the record actually supports, each with its anchored ammunition: statement evolution (Prompt 46 rows for the client), collisions with anchored evidence, motive framing, capacity. 2. FULL SIMULATION — the cross as a leading-question sequence, anchors in the margin; the traps (compound questions, half-true premises, tone provocations) marked as such. 3. RESPONSE NOTES — per trap: the truthful, composed answer pattern (never scripted content) and the instinct to resist (arguing, volunteering, guessing). 4. DAMAGE ASSESSMENT — where the simulation shows real damage: is it answerable on redirect, addressable in closing, or a factor that belongs back in the Prompt 34 decision? 5. PREPARATION PRIORITIES — the three collisions to work hardest, with the session plan. MATERIALS: [INSERT RECORD MATERIALS + PROMPT 34/35/46 OUTPUTS]
