Determine what premises and evidence warrant. An agent skill from TheGoat395/Codex-Skills.

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

What it does

Logical Thinking is an agent skill from TheGoat395/Codex-Skills. Determine what premises and evidence warrant.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/causal-probabilistic-decision.md` and `references/documentation-evidence-conclusions.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: Codex-first Agent Skills library for premium frontend, website, motion, accessibility, QA, and handoff workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/logical-thinking”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit feff772. 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.

    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

Logical Thinking loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 593 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6k

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.

description
Determine what premises and evidence warrant.

Logical Thinking

Produce the strongest conclusion the available premises warrant, including unknown, conditional, or no conclusion when appropriate. Logical rigor means choosing the right inference system, preserving meaning and scope, checking each decisive step, and refusing to strengthen the result beyond its proof obligations.

Scale the proof to the question

Adapt the inference family; do not impose a universal template. Preserve meaning, units, scope and quantifiers. Test whether premises can hold while the conclusion fails; use decisive calculations, solvers, tests or observations. Correlated self-review is not independent verification.

For consequential, multi-step, ambiguous or contested inference, read proof and verification plus the applicable family below for maps, step checks, conclusion types and adversarial tests. Simple entailment/calculation remains direct.

Use conditional or unknown when warranted. Proven, must, causes, always and impossible require their own proof burden.

Normalize the problem

Before inference, identify:

  • exact question and candidate conclusion;
  • premises, observations, rules, and documentation;
  • source/status of each premise: given, observed, documented, inferred, assumed, or disputed;
  • definitions, entities, variables, units, timeframe, version, and domain;
  • quantifiers and modal force: all, some, none, must, may, usually, likely;
  • knowledge regime: closed world, open world, or incomplete real-world evidence;
  • hidden premises required to connect the stated information.

Resolve semantic ambiguity before formalizing. Do not create precision by translating an unclear sentence into symbols without deciding what the sentence means.

Choose the inference family

FamilyAppropriate questionValid conclusion form
DeductiveMust the conclusion follow?entailed, contradicted, or unknown
Defeasible/informalIs the argument presumptively reasonable?supported unless a critical exception succeeds
InductiveHow strongly do observations generalize?scoped probability or empirical support
AbductiveWhich explanation best accounts for the evidence?best current explanation, not proof
CausalWhat would happen under intervention or counterfactual change?association, intervention effect, or counterfactual claim
ProbabilisticHow should uncertainty update?posterior or calibrated range under assumptions
Documentary/ruleWhat does an authority establish here?governing, permitted, required, documented, or unresolved applicability
DecisionWhich action is preferable under uncertainty?recommendation conditional on goals and tradeoffs

For formal entailment, natural-language arguments, exceptions, or scheme-based reasoning, read formal and defeasible inference.

For causal, probabilistic, forecasting, or decision reasoning, read causal, probabilistic, and decision reasoning.

For conclusions from documentation, policies, tests, benchmarks, source code, or runtime evidence, read documentation and evidence conclusions.

Keep unknown open

Under an open-world or incomplete-evidence regime:

  • failure to prove C does not prove not C;
  • failure to prove not C does not prove C;
  • one absent fact does not license a closed-world assumption unless the system explicitly defines one;
  • inconsistent premises do not justify an arbitrary conclusion in ordinary analysis.

Classify a deductive target as:

  • Entailed: every model satisfying the premises satisfies C.
  • Contradicted: every model satisfying the premises satisfies not C, or C directly conflicts with a controlling premise.
  • Unknown: both C and not C remain compatible with the premises.
  • Premises inconsistent: the premise set itself requires repair before ordinary inference.

Check premise consistency first, then classify the target as entailed, contradicted or unknown; do not force a binary answer from incomplete evidence.

Coordinate boundaries

Use critical-thinking when the central question is whether evidence, assumptions, incentives, or argument quality deserves confidence. Use evidence-reconciliation when conflicting authority or current source state controls. Use deep-research when premises must be discovered. Use creativity when the missing work is generating possibilities rather than adjudicating what follows.

Deliver

For simple problems, apply the protocol silently and answer directly. For consequential problems, report the normalized premises, inference family, decisive rule or test, exceptions or unknowns, verification performed, and strongest warranted conclusion. Show enough structure to audit the result without dumping private scratch reasoning.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/logical-thinking, .gemini/skills/logical-thinking, .github/skills/logical-thinking and .opencode/skills/logical-thinking in your project.

What does Logical Thinking need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Logical Thinking is instructions for the agent only.

Does Logical Thinking access the network?

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.
