Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.

Audit the decision before it ships. Use for "are we sure about this?", high-stakes choices made on fast intuition, plans with no failure scenario, estimates that are suspiciously optimistic, metrics being gamed (Goodhart), unfalsifiable claims, negotiation prep, or strategies that break in extreme conditions.

Decision Bias Check

Problem shape: a decision, plan, or evaluation is about to be committed and nobody has run the adversarial pass: which bias produced it, what would refute it, how it behaves in the tails, and whether the metric still measures what it was meant to.

Relevant geniuses

AgentUse when
kahnemanfast intuition on a high-stakes call; no pre-mortem; estimate needs a reference class; an easier question was answered instead of the hard one
talebexposure to volatility unclassified (fragile/robust/antifragile); improvement always by addition; decision-makers carry no downside
popperclaim has no observation that could refute it; only easy confirmations offered as evidence; plan too big to test piecemeal
simonoptimizing where satisficing is rational; the search space needs decomposing before choosing
boydadversarial setting — the other side adapts; tempo and orientation matter more than the single best move
zhuangzithe metric has become the target (Goodhart); the evaluation framework itself needs auditing
ibnalhaythaman authority's claim taken on trust — systematic doubt with controlled isolation of variables
rogerfishermulti-stakeholder deadlock — separate interests from positions, find the BATNA and the zone of agreement

Invocation

  1. Pick the best-fit agent above. If two or more fit, run

tools/genius-invoker.sh route "<problem>" and take the top ranked match.

  1. Load it: tools/genius-invoker.sh invoke <agent> "<problem>", then read

agents/genius/<agent>.md in full.

  1. Apply the agent's <workflow> step by step and answer in its

<output-format>. The output names the specific bias/failure with its evidence — not a generic "consider other perspectives".

  1. Typical chain: kahneman audits the intuition → popper designs the severe

test → taleb classifies the tail exposure. Run via tools/genius-invoker.sh compose kahneman popper -- "<problem>".

  1. If no shape above matches, use a built-in agent with the closest GENIUS: pattern from rules/agent-routes.json instead.

Refuse when

  • The requester wants validation, not audit — a bias check that cannot change

the decision is theater.

  • The decision is already irreversible and the check would only assign blame.
