Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Illusion of Validity 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
Do you believe your judgments are accurate just because the available information fits together well? That’s Illusion of Validity – the tendency to overestimate the accuracy of one’s judgments, especially when data appears logically consistent.
