Runs reflective equilibrium (mutual adjustment between considered case judgments, general principles, and background theories) caveat-first. It leads with the weak evidence (philosophically central since Rawls 1971 but empirically untested as a procedure, with three failure modes that bite in a bounded session), then forces the discipline a bare run lacks, namely an explicit revision ledger that records which commitment gave way and why. Use only when reflective equilibrium is asked for by…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Reflective Equilibrium Reflective equilibrium justifies a value position by mutual adjustment: you hold considered judgments about particular cases, general principles, and relevant background theories at once, and when a case and a principle conflict you revise whichever has less credibility on reflection, iterating until the set coheres. It is the de facto method of normative philosophy and it has three failure modes that bite in a bounded session. This skill runs it honestly. It leads with that caveat, then forces the one thing a bare run omits and that makes a run worth reading at all: an explicit revision ledger that records which commitment gave way and why, instead of a quiet declaration that "coherence was reached." ## Before you run this: the evidence caveat …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-reflective-equilibrium@sha256:16994453c7940e8fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
