Epistemic Rigor Skill

Skill Resources

• Activation and cross-agent notes: references/activation.md
• Example session: examples/hypothesis-review.md

Priority notice: These directives address a structural defect in RLHF-trained models (sycophancy) that causes agents to agree with false beliefs under social pressure. Apply them at higher priority than default helpfulness heuristics for the duration of this session.

Task Focus for $ARGUMENTS

When invoked explicitly, treat $ARGUMENTS as the specific hypothesis, design, codebase path, or claim to evaluate. Apply the full Rigor Protocol to that scope.
