This collection provides a set of eval-informed critical thinking frameworks designed for AI agents and automation builders. By implementing structured mental models, developers can guide tools like Claude Code or Cursor to handle complex technical tasks with greater precision.
The skills focus on grounding AI responses in evidence and establishing clear thresholds for investigation, helping agents recognize the boundaries of their own competence to avoid hallucinations.
