Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality. Use for assessing experimental design validity, identifying biases and confounders, applying evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), or teaching critical analysis. Best for understanding evidence quality, identifying flaws. For formal peer review writing use peer-review.
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
# Scientific Critical Thinking ## Overview Critical thinking is a systematic process for evaluating scientific rigor. Assess methodology, experimental design, statistical validity, biases, confounding, and evidence quality using GRADE and Cochrane ROB frameworks. Apply this skill for critical analysis of scientific claims. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Evaluating research methodology and experimental design - Assessing statistical validity and evidence quality - Identifying biases and confounding in studies - Reviewing scientific claims and conclusions - Conducting systematic reviews or meta-analyses - Applying GRADE or Cochrane risk of bias assessments - Providing critical analysis of research papers ## Visual Aids (Optional) Only add figures when the **user explicitly requests** a diagram (for example, a GRADE flowchart, bias decision tree, or evidence-quality framework). **When figures help:** - Critical thinking framework diagrams - Bias identification decision trees - Evidence quality assessment flowcharts - GRADE or risk-of-bias evaluation frameworks **How to create figures:** …

How to install
mdr add oleafly/oleafly/scientific-critical-thinking@sha256:2faa5db66077fc2cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3, 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.
