think-evidence-vs-inference-sort — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited think-evidence-vs-inference-sort (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Reasoning degrades when evidence (what is actually observed or verifiable) is blended with inference (what is deduced) and assumption (an unstated premise). Models are especially prone to this: they present fluent inference in the same confident register as fact. This skill separates them: it labels each claim in a body of text as evidence, inference, or assumption, records the basis for each, attaches a confidence level to inferences, and flags anything uncited. The output is an evidence/inference ledger. Note the boundary: this classifies claim type; it does not verify that the evidence is true (that is a separate, fact-checking job).
When asked to sort evidence from inference, follow these steps:
references/TEMPLATE.md.Use the template in references/TEMPLATE.md. The deliverable is the ledger plus the load-bearing-unknowns list, not prose.
Before finalizing, verify:
Tier P. The evidence/inference distinction is a foundational critical-thinking competence (Facione, Delphi Report 1990), and explicit critical-thinking instruction shows moderate gains broadly (strongest for argument mapping, an adjacent technique). This specific "sort into a ledger" method is practitioner-grade, evidence is transferred from human contexts, and the skill verifies claim type, not truth. Full grading: evidence/dossier.md.
