The Default Being Overridden

Left unchecked, LLMs default to:

• First-answer bias: The first plausible solution surfaces and gets committed to immediately
• Confirmation anchoring: Evidence that supports the initial hypothesis gets weighted higher than contradicting evidence
• Mono-perspective reasoning: Analysis from a single angle, missing structural weaknesses that another lens would catch
• Premature convergence: "This looks right" treated as "this is right" without stress-testing
• Complexity blindness: Elegant-looking solutions that hide failure modes not immediately visible

This skill overrides those defaults by requiring adversarial multi-perspective analysis before concluding.
