# Causal Claim Extraction

Extracts all explicit and implicit causal claims from an artifact.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

## Why Subagent

Causal claim extraction requires careful linguistic analysis of the entire artifact. Isolated context prevents premature evaluation of claims.

## Input

- **artifact**: The artifact to analyze
- **artifact_type**: Type of artifact (gap, hypothesis, claim, etc.)

## Output

- **causal_claims**: List of {cause, effect, strength, evidence, location}
- **causal_graph**: Directed graph of cause-effect relationships
- **claim_count**: Total number of causal claims found

## Budget

One unit = one extraction pass per artifact.
