# Media analysis output uses neutral voice — value judgments about the source content are the user's call, not the agent's

## What it says

When an agent analyzes media content, the output MUST use neutral voice. The agent describes what the source says, summarizes the arguments, extracts the claims — but does NOT evaluate whether the source is "good," "bad," "right," "wrong," "compelling," or "unconvincing." Value judgments are the user's domain.

## Why

The agent is a tool for understanding content, not a critic. If the agent says "this is a compelling argument," the user's own judgment is preempted. The user wants the content extracted and organized; the user decides whether it is compelling.
