thinking-circle-of-competence

Guides the agent to ground factual claims in evidence, state uncertainty, or abstain instead of inventing an answer.

When to use it

Use before asserting an unsupported specific fact, making an unverified claim about a codebase or system, or giving a materially risky confident answer.

It changes how the agent answers factual questions by checking evidence and the cost of error before answering, seeking evidence, or abstaining.
