Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Dunning–Kruger 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
The Dunning–Kruger Effect describes a pattern found in some self-assessment tasks: lower performers can overestimate their performance more than higher performers do. It is about calibration between measured performance and self-assessment, not a rule that the least skilled person is always the most confident.

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.
