Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality. Use for assessing experimental design validity, identifying biases and confounders, applying evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), or teaching critical analysis. Best for understanding evidence quality, identifying flaws. For formal peer review writing use peer-review.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

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=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/lamm-mit/scienceclaw' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '894598cd3a90891a077c254566276bd379038bad' -- 'skills/scientific-critical-thinking' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/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.
