epistemology-justification

What problem does it solve?

It diagnoses whether a claim is actually justified by making the underlying justification structure explicit, locating the weakest link that could make the belief fail.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Justification-chain tracing: Breaks a belief into a step-by-step chain of reasons until it reaches foundational beliefs, coherent support webs, or reliable process outputs.
• Structure classification (foundationalist/coherentist/reliabilist): Identifies which justification pattern dominates each link, including hybrids.
• Weakest-link testing: Assesses each link as sound/shaky/unsupported/circular and pinpoints the leverage point most worth challenging.

Use case example: You have strong confidence in an argument, but you cannot articulate why; run this skill to reveal whether your confidence rests on a questionable “basic” assumption, a circular metric loop, or an unreliable inference process.

Quick Start

Use the epistemology-justification skill to analyze the belief “I know that X,” tracing its justification chain and identifying the single weakest link and what evidence would change it.
