Evaluating scientific evidence and claims. Covers study design hierarchy (RCT to expert opinion), effect sizes (OR, RR, NNT, Cohen's d), confounding, p-value vs clinical significance, GRADE quality assessment, reproducibility, and bias types (selection, information, confounding, reporting). Use when reading a paper or assessing claims.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'scientific-critical-thinking' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'scientific-critical-thinking' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named scientific-critical-thinking already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '65d6ceb875e20b751ffb3a6d8ee19516558789e1' -- 'skills/scientific-writing/scientific-critical-thinking' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/scientific-writing/scientific-critical-thinking' ~/.agents/skills/'scientific-critical-thinking' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'scientific-critical-thinking' ~/.claude/skills/'scientific-critical-thinking' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
