Critical Thinking

Anti-hallucination prevents fabrication. Awareness detects errors. Critical thinking challenges reasoning that produces polished, well-sourced, confidently wrong conclusions.

Purpose

The third leg of epistemic integrity. A system that never fabricates and always self-corrects can still reach deeply wrong conclusions — because it never tested its own reasoning. This skill provides:

• Seven disciplines for challenging AI reasoning at decision points
• The "never guess" epistemic foundation
• Domain adaptation patterns for heir-specific implementation
• Adversarial review protocols that catch what mechanical analysis misses
