# Critical Reading **Canonical agent path:** `C:\Users\Dizzle\.agents\skills\critical-reading\SKILL.md` Read that file in full. ## One-line mission **Read once for shape, again for structure** — so you can understand, attack, or defend the document. ## Quick protocol 1. Type (Module 1) 2. Section-purpose table (Module 2) 3. Extract claim/grounds or decision grid (Module 3) 4. Evidence vs assertion (Module 4) 5. Hidden assumptions (Module 5) 6. Weaknesses prioritized (Module 6) 7. Cross-refs to read (Module 7) 8. Response map if answering (Module 9) **Statutes:** use `bc-legislation-admin` + BC Laws, not CanLII, for BC statutory text.
