Reasoning Checks is an agent skill from Abilityai/cornelius. Shared reasoning-discipline contract - four pre-conclusion checks (epistemic inversion / pre-mortem, attractor-state check against the live core fingerprint, provenance weighting, conditional reference-class anchor) with required output blocks. Referenced by /advise, /canon-advise, and both crystallization paths before a conclusion is finalized; also directly invocable on any draft conclusion or recommendation.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: AI-powered second brain template for Claude Code + Obsidian. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b9bea90. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlobBashFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Reasoning Checks loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 846 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, BashAutomated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/reasoning-checks/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).ℹ️ First, set expectations: print one line with this skill's version and its most recent change - the top of
metadata.changelog- e.g.reasoning-checks v1.0 — recent: initial four-check contract. Then proceed. (Skip the banner when applied silently inside a consuming skill.)
The calibration counterpart to the Thinking Geometries. The 2026-07-31 self-audit found the reasoning repertoire strong on discovery and synthesis but thin on calibration - everything runs from the inside view, and a graph this connected (50k+ edges, spreading activation) is structurally prone to falling in love with its own semantic connections. These checks close the gap at the two moments that matter: before advice is given and before a conclusion crosses the endorsement boundary.
Contract rule (the SOURCE-AUTHORITY.md pattern): this file is the single source of truth for the check definitions. Consuming skills reference it and apply the checks; they never copy the definitions inline. Change a check here, not in consumers.
| Source | Location | Read | Write |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core fingerprint (live) | resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh --hubs --json and --bridges --json | ✓ | |
| Core fingerprint (fallback) | knowledge-base-analysis.md → "Core hubs" / "Core bridges" tables (note the analysis date) | ✓ | |
| Cited notes' frontmatter | Brain/**/*.md (provenance: field) | ✓ |
Never writes. Output blocks are embedded in the consuming skill's own artifact or answer. All reads are lookups, not retrievals - nothing here trains q-values.
When: always, before any recommendation or conclusion is finalized.
Assume the conclusion is wrong and work backwards. Required output block:
### Epistemic Inversion
- **Failure assumption:** it is 12 months out and this [recommendation | conclusion] proved wrong.
- **Causal autopsy:** most likely reason it failed: [specific mechanism]
- **Specific falsifier:** we will know it failed if [observable event / metric crossing a threshold / dated milestone]The anti-theater rule (load-bearing): the falsifier must name a specific observable - an event that either happens or doesn't, a metric with a threshold, a dated milestone. Generic hedges ("market conditions shift", "priorities change", "new information emerges") FAIL the check. On human-gated surfaces, a generic falsifier means redo the inversion before presenting. On autonomous surfaces, stamp falsifier: weak and flag it in the run log - never block the run (No-Gates Rule).
When: always on advice surfaces; on crystallization. The system's dominant frameworks are measured - the core fingerprint names its own gravity wells - so this check is semi-mechanical rather than introspective.
Procedure:
knowledge-base-analysis.md tables, noting their date). In consuming skills that already run a parallel search batch, fetch hubs in that same batch - no extra round.resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh --hubs --json 2>/dev/null
resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh --bridges --json 2>/dev/null### Attractor Check
- load_bearing_frameworks: [[A]], [[B]], ...
- top10_overlap: N → [clear | ATTRACTOR]
- alternative_framing: [only when ATTRACTOR: 1 paragraph using no top-10 hub] → [kept | original stands because ...]When: always when the conclusion rests on KB notes.
Tally the provenance: of the load-bearing cited notes (visible in frontmatter of notes already read; grep -m1 '^provenance:' for any others). A conclusion resting mainly on ai-inferred/encountered notes is unendorsed synthesis - it must say so and must never be phrased as "your view" / "your framework". reference records are facts, not endorsements. Notes with no provenance: field count as unmarked (legacy) - report them honestly, don't assume.
### Provenance Base
originated/endorsed: N · encountered: M · ai-inferred: K · unmarked: J · reference: R
→ [rests on endorsed thinking | rests substantially on unendorsed synthesis - weighted accordingly]When: CONDITIONAL - only when the conclusion asserts a forecast, probability, magnitude, timeline, or success likelihood. Never force it onto purely conceptual syntheses (that is exactly how checks become checkbox theater).
Name the reference class, state the base rate (or state honestly that none is known - itself a calibration signal), and justify any deviation. The block is deliberately parseable:
### Reference Class
- class: [what population of cases this belongs to]
- base_rate: [X% | unknown]
- case_vs_base: [above | below | at] - [why the deviation is justified, or "no deviation claimed"]Direction A hook: when the operational-memory belief store ships (TARGET-ARCHITECTURE.md → Direction A), the base rate must adjust the stated confidence before any beliefs.db write - not ride along as metadata.
| Surface | Inversion | Attractor | Provenance | Ref-class |
|---|---|---|---|---|
/advise | required | required | required | conditional |
/canon-advise ([MY READ] layer ONLY) | required | required | required | conditional, bet surfaces only |
/decide | required | required (situation framing only - decision-science hubs are its tools, not attractor pull) | required | required in practice (decisions embed forecasts) |
manage-thinking-topics crystallize | required - embedded in the artifact | required | required | conditional |
ai-crystallize (autonomous) | required - embedded; weak falsifier → flagged, never blocks | skip (stays search-free by design) | skip | skip |
These checks apply to the agent's own reasoning layers only. Never invert, score, base-rate, or generate "alternative framings" for a canon decision or spec - a decision has a status, not a probability. On /canon-advise, the checks run on the [MY READ]/dissent layer exclusively; bet is the only scoreable canon surface (per the Authority Contract in that skill).
On any autonomous consumer (currently ai-crystallize): check presence is required, check quality is flagged (falsifier: weak in the run log), and nothing ever blocks or gates the scheduled run.
/reasoning-checks [material] - run the applicable checks on a pasted conclusion, a note path, or (with no argument) the current conversation's most recent recommendation/conclusion. Output the blocks; make no edits.
/think-about-it - deliberately unwired; divergent exploration stays unconstrained.(Decision-theoretic framing shipped 2026-07-31 as the standalone /decide skill - see the applicability matrix.)

Run `npx skills add Abilityai/cornelius --skill reasoning-checks -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/reasoning-checks in Abilityai/cornelius) into .claude/skills/reasoning-checks in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add Abilityai/cornelius --skill reasoning-checks -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/reasoning-checks in Abilityai/cornelius) into .agents/skills/reasoning-checks in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Abilityai/cornelius --skill reasoning-checks -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/reasoning-checks, .gemini/skills/reasoning-checks, .github/skills/reasoning-checks and .opencode/skills/reasoning-checks in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Reasoning Checks is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Reasoning Checks is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
