Produces an evidence/inference ledger by sorting the claims in a prompt, document, or proposed conclusion into evidence, inference, and assumption, attaching a confidence level to each inference and flagging anything uncited. Use when a recommendation must be trusted, or when you need to audit the reasoning behind a conclusion in a high-stakes context.
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 --> # Evidence vs Inference Sort 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 to Use - A recommendation, plan, or conclusion must be trusted before it is acted on. - High-stakes contexts: legal, medical, financial, safety, architecture and planning. - Auditing the reasoning behind a conclusion, including the agent's own. - As a step in a reasoning-audit workflow. ## When NOT to Use …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-evidence-vs-inference-sort@sha256:a584074e872c5c03The 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.
