SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Written content such as articles, reports, and transcripts often contains flawed reasoning, unsupported claims, or hidden assumptions that go unnoticed. This Skill provides a structured framework to critically evaluate arguments so you can make well-reasoned decisions instead of accepting conclusions at face value. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Argument Analysis: Identifies core claims, examines evidence quality, and detects fallacies such as circular reasoning, false dichotomies, and hasty generalisations. - Actionable Critique Format: Produces a consistent output with a summary, key issues, probing questions, and a bottom-line takeaway for decision-makers. - Use Case: Before acting on a consultant's report recommending a strategy change, run the analysis to surface unsupported assumptions, missing counter-evidence, and questions leadership should ask before committing resources. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to critically analyse the attached article or report and identify weaknesses in its reasoning.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I critically analyse an article or report with AI?▼

Provide the article, blog, transcript, or report and ask for a critical analysis. The Skill identifies core claims, examines evidence quality, spots logical fallacies, and returns a structured critique with key issues, probing questions, and a bottom-line assessment.

What logical fallacies can this analysis detect?▼

It detects circular reasoning, false dichotomies, appeals to authority or emotion, hasty generalisations, and unsupported leaps. It also surfaces hidden assumptions, missing counter-evidence, and internal contradictions within the argument.

Can I use this to review code or technical implementations?▼

No, this Skill is explicitly scoped to written prose content such as articles, blogs, transcripts, and reports, not code. It evaluates arguments and reasoning rather than programming logic or implementation correctness.

Does the analysis fact-check empirical claims in the content?▼

No, it critiques reasoning and logic rather than fact-checking empirical claims, unless a claim is obviously implausible or internally contradictory. The focus is on argument structure, evidence sufficiency, and burden of proof.

What output format does the critical analysis produce?▼

The output follows a fixed structure: a one-sentence summary of the core claim and its strength, bulleted key issues with explanations, two to five probing questions for decision-makers, and a one-to-two sentence bottom-line takeaway.
