Reasoning

Foundational meta-skill encompassing the full spectrum of reasoning methods. Provides the integrated framework for selecting and combining reasoning strategies appropriate to the problem context — ensuring sound conclusions, rigorous argumentation, and transparent reasoning chains across all reasoning domains.

Sub-Skills

1. Deductive Reasoning — Necessary conclusions from general premises
2. Inductive Reasoning — Probable generalizations from specific observations
3. Abductive Reasoning — Inference to the best explanation
4. Analogical Reasoning — Knowledge transfer across domains via structural mapping
5. Causal Reasoning — Cause-effect identification, counterfactuals, and interventions
6. Probabilistic Reasoning — Uncertainty handling via probability theory
7. Moral Reasoning — Ethical evaluation through multiple normative frameworks
