  • Works in 6 steps: Input → Hypothesis → Implication → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Reasoning Causal is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Execute evidence-based decision-making through 6-stage causal flow. Use for known processes, operational execution, and decisions with clear cause-effect chains.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `references/stages/actions.md`, `references/stages/decision.md` and `references/stages/hypothesis.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Known processes
  • Operational execution
  • Decisions with clear cause-effect chains

Example prompts

  • “/reasoning-causal”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Input
  2. Hypothesis
  3. Implication
  4. Decision
  5. Actions
  6. Learning

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Reasoning Causal loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~45k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 616 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~45k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated 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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 616 words (~2,179 tokens).

“Execute systematic cause-effect reasoning. The logic of process and action.”
