What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
falsify-the-problem
Challenge the current problem formulation before solving it. Use when explicitly invoked, or when meaningful framing uncertainty and non-trivial intervention cost or risk coexist; do not auto-activate for verified diagnoses or mechanical edits.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
