Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Actor-Observer Bias as a focused cognitive-bias lens. Explain the pattern, check whether it plausibly fits the situation, surface an alternative non-bias explanation, and return a practical counter-check without diagnosing people or claiming causation.
What the agent should do
Late to a meeting? Well, traffic was terrible! Someone else is late? They must be irresponsible. That’s Actor-Observer Bias – the tendency to blame our own behavior on external circumstances while attributing others’ actions to their personality.
