Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Surrogation 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
Surrogation is a management-accounting construct in which a performance measure starts to be treated as though it were the strategic objective it was meant to represent. A KPI can be useful and still capture only part of the underlying goal. The problem begins when improving the number becomes evidence, by itself, that the real objective improved.
