- source-evaluationnahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcherJudge whether a source can carry the weight you are about to put on it — trace it upstream to something primary, check its date and version, name who benefits if you believe it, test whether corroboration is actually independent, and cite it so a reader can reopen exactly what you read. Use before relying on a claim that changes a decision, when two sources disagree, when a number arrives without its method, or when writing citations. Not for running the overall investigation, and not for deciding between products.Testing★ 59
- causation-consequenceTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorCausal reasoning in historical analysis. Covers distinguishing immediate from underlying causes, tracing chains of causation across time scales, identifying unintended consequences, and applying counterfactual reasoning to assess causal significance. Use when analyzing why historical events occurred, evaluating the relative weight of causes, or assessing whether outcomes were inevitable or contingent.Other★ 71
- root-cause-analysisrohitg00/skillkitPerforms systematic root cause analysis to identify the true source of bugs, errors, and unexpected behavior through structured investigation phases — not just treating symptoms. Use when a user reports a bug, crash, error, or broken behavior and needs to debug, troubleshoot, or investigate why something is not working; especially for complex or intermittent issues across multiple components. Applies the Five Whys method, hypothesis-driven testing, stack trace analysis, git blame/log evidence gathering, and causal chain documentation to isolate and confirm root causes before applying any fix.Testing★ 1.6K
- critical-readingTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorAnalytical evaluation of texts for argument quality, author purpose, bias, credibility, and rhetorical strategy.

Use when evaluating arguments, identifying bias, assessing source reliability, analyzing rhetoric, or synthesizing across multiple texts on the same topic.Testing★ 71
