SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The bias-check skill helps teams identify and mitigate cognitive biases before research or decision-making, reducing faulty conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

Identify context and stage of activity (research, evaluation, decision) to determine bias risk.
Load stage-specific checklists from cognitive-biases.md for current scale.
For each bias on the checklist: assess likelihood, mitigation, and document the assessment.
Check agent's own biases (sycophancy, recency, pattern matching, completionism) and report findings.
Output a bias briefing to guide next steps and decisions.

Quick Start

Identify context and stage, load the appropriate bias checklist, assess biases, document mitigations, and proceed with informed decisions.

FAQPage Schema

How do I check for cognitive bias before making a decision?▼

To check for cognitive bias before a decision, identify your activity stage and load a stage-specific checklist to assess bias likelihood, document mitigations, and generate a structured bias briefing.

What is cognitive bias mitigation in research planning?▼

Cognitive bias mitigation in research planning involves identifying high-risk biases at each research stage, assessing their likelihood, and recording mitigation actions to prevent faulty conclusions.

How do I assess my own biases when evaluating research?▼

You assess your own biases during evaluation by checking for sycophancy, recency, pattern matching, and completionism, then reporting these findings within a structured bias briefing.

When do I need to use a bias checklist for decision-making?▼

You need a bias checklist for decision-making when facing contexts with high bias risk, such as research planning or significant evaluations, to ensure mitigations are documented.

Can I apply bias mitigation across different research stages?▼

Yes, you can apply bias mitigation across different research stages by loading stage-specific checklists to assess biases and document appropriate mitigation actions for each phase.

What is the best way to reduce faulty conclusions in research activities?▼

The best way to reduce faulty conclusions in research activities is to pre-check biases by assessing their likelihood, documenting mitigation actions, and outputting a bias briefing to guide decisions.
