Thought Experiment | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Activate when: user says 'what if,' 'let's reason through this,' 'imagine that,' or 'thought experiment'; a strategic decision is too risky or irreversible to test empirically; someone wants to refute a claim by reasoning rather than data; hidden assumptions in a business model need surfacing; counterfactual or ethical analysis is requested. Do NOT activate when: the question can be empirically tested at reasonable cost; time pressure makes structured reasoning impractical.
