Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Mere Urgency Effect 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
The mere urgency effect is our tendency to choose a less important task because it looks urgent, even when the urgency is artificial and the other task has an objectively better payoff. A deadline enters the room and suddenly importance is asked to wait outside.
