Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Subadditivity 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
If told there’s a 10% chance of flooding in your city, you’d accept it. But if broken down into ‘flooding from rain,’ ‘flooding from dam failure,’ and ‘flooding from melting snow,’ each at 5%, the total feels higher! That’s Subadditivity Effect – people perceive the probability of a whole event as lower than the sum of its mutually exclusive components.

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.
