Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Observer-Expectancy 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
Does a researcher believe in a certain outcome and unconsciously shape the data to fit? That’s Observer-Expectancy Effect – when an experimenter unintentionally influences results by modifying the experiment or interpreting data in a biased way.

The skill must preserve uncertainty, surface a non-bias explanation and avoid turning a cognitive-bias label into a claim about a person's motives, intelligence or mental health.
