# Cognitive Debiasing ## Overview Based on Daniel Kahneman, Dan Lovallo, and Olivier Sibony's research, this skill provides a systematic checklist to identify cognitive biases that distort decisions. Awareness of biases alone doesn't prevent them—structured checklists and processes do. **Core Principle:** Your brain is systematically wrong in predictable ways. Use checklists to catch errors your intuition will miss. ## When to Use - Before making or approving major decisions - Evaluating recommendations from others - When stakes are high and errors costly - When you feel very confident (overconfidence is a bias) - During investment, hiring, or strategic decisions - When a decision "feels right" but you can't articulate why ## System 1 vs System 2 | System 1 (Fast) | System 2 (Slow) | |-----------------|-----------------| | Automatic, effortless | Deliberate, effortful | | Emotional, intuitive | Analytical, logical | | Pattern-matching | Rule-following | | Prone to biases | Can catch biases | | Default mode | Requires activation | **Goal:** Activate System 2 for important decisions using structured processes. ## The 12-Point Decision Quality Checklist Before approving any significan

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill thinking-debiasing --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.
