Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Spotlight 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
Forgot to button your shirt and feel like everyone noticed? Said something awkward and now think it’s all anyone remembers? That’s Spotlight Effect – the tendency to overestimate how much others notice your appearance or behavior.
