Canonical definition
Are you sure you’ve been to a place as a child, but your parents insist you never were? That’s False Memory – when imagination, stories from others, or time create memories of events that never actually happened.
Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
False Memory
Use False Memory 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.

Boundary
A lens, not a verdict.
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.
