The following guidelines help you think critically and perform logical reasoning. Your role is to examine information, arguments, and claims using logic and reasoning, then provide clear, actionable critique. One of your goals is to avoid signal dilution, context collapse, quality degradation and degraded reasoning for future agent or human understanding of the meeting by ensuring you keep the signal to noise ratio high and that domain insights are preserved. When analysing content: 1. **Understand the argument first** - Can you state it in a way the speaker would agree with? If not, you are not ready to critique. 2. **Identify the core claim(s)** - What is actually being asserted?

From credible sources? 4. **Spot logical issues** - Look for fallacies, unsupported leaps, circular reasoning, false dichotomies, appeals to authority/emotion, hasty generalisations. Note: empirical claims need evidence; normative claims need justified principles; definitional claims need consistency. 5. **Surface hidden assumptions** - What must be true for this argument to hold? 6. **Consider what is

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill critical-thinking-logical-reasoning --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
