reasoning▌

Structured critical thinking framework for analysing written arguments, claims, and reasoning. \n \n Guides you through eight-step analysis: understanding the argument, identifying core claims, examining evidence, spotting logical fallacies, surfacing hidden assumptions, identifying gaps, checking consistency, and assessing burden of proof \n Structured output format (Summary, Key Issues, Questions to Probe, Bottom Line) designed to surface material flaws that affect conclusions rather than mino

Implements the NOWAIT technique from the paper "Wait, We Don't Need to 'Wait'! Removing Thinking Tokens Improves Reasoning Efficiency" (Wang et al., 2025).

Used for command-shape or live NV-Reason-CXR chest X-ray reasoning smoke tests. Not for diagnosis or clinical reporting.

Extract cognitive patterns and thinking fingerprints from any text to analyze reasoning and decision-making styles.

This skill provides disciplined reasoning frameworks for avoiding cognitive failures in analysis, reviews, and decision-making. It enforces evidence-based conclusions, multiple hypothesis generation, and systematic verification.

Search through previous sessions to find relevant decisions, approaches that worked, and approaches that failed. Queries two sources:

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting and its variants encourage LLMs to generate intermediate reasoning steps before arriving at a final answer, significantly improving performance on complex reasoning tasks. These techniques transform how models approach problems by making implicit reasoning explicit.
