Recognition and mitigation of systematic reasoning errors documented in the heuristics and biases tradition. Covers confirmation bias, availability, anchoring, representativeness, framing effects, hindsight bias, overconfidence, and motivated reasoning. Each bias is presented with its mechanism, diagnostic signal, and structured mitigation. Use when you suspect your own or another reasoner's conclusions may be shaped by systematic cognitive distortion rather than evidence.

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/'cognitive-biases' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'cognitive-biases' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named cognitive-biases already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Tibsfox/gsd-skill-creator' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'e179dfe911f3b3c2ff8bcd90ecd6ee4738648d17' -- 'examples/skills/critical-thinking/cognitive-biases' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'examples/skills/critical-thinking/cognitive-biases' ~/.agents/skills/'cognitive-biases' && 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/'cognitive-biases' ~/.claude/skills/'cognitive-biases' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
