| description | On-demand bias audit — check a decision, plan, or situation against your Marlee motivational profile blind spots |
Bias Check
Run a targeted bias audit against your Marlee motivational profile (getmarlee.com). Works standalone (full audit of current context) or with a specific topic.
Instructions
When the user invokes /bias [optional: topic or decision], run through all steps.
Step 0: Check Profile Exists
Read Context/Memory/bias.md. If the file is missing or empty, run the Setup Flow below instead of the audit.
Setup Flow
Tell the user:
No Marlee profile found. I need your motivational dimensions to run bias checks.
- Go to getmarlee.com and sign in
- Navigate to People → Me (your profile)
- Click All Motivations to see the bubble grid
- Make sure all dimension categories are selected (Action Level, Action Direction, Authority, Task Direction, Scope, Communication, Environment, Responsibility, Change, Work Approach, Time) — click each filter pill or select-all
- Scroll to see all bubbles, then take screenshots of the complete grid (you may need 2 screenshots to capture everything)
- Paste the screenshot(s) here
I'll extract your scores and set up your profile automatically.
When the user provides screenshot(s):
- Extract every dimension name and score from the bubble grid
- Create
Context/Memory/bias.md using the Profile Template below
- Derive communication rules (Section B) from the high/low patterns
- Derive bias patterns (Section C) from the dimensional gaps
- Confirm the profile is saved, then run the bias audit if the user provided a topic
Profile Template
Use the template structure from the existing Context/Memory/bias.md — three sections:
- Section A: All dimensions sorted by score (highest first), grouped into tiers
- Section B: Communication rules derived from extreme scores (90+ high, sub-60 low)
- Section C: Bias patterns derived from high-low gaps that create blind spots
For deriving biases, look for these patterns:
- Very high score (90+) on one dimension with a low complementary dimension → blind spot
- Two high scores that reinforce each other → amplified bias (e.g., high Initiation + high Present = rushing to act)
- Low scores (sub-60) that create gaps in thinking or decision-making
Step 1: Load Profile
Read Context/Memory/bias.md — load all bias patterns from Section C.
Step 2: Load Context
If a topic was provided with the command (e.g., /bias should I start a new research track):
- Treat that as the subject of the audit
If no topic was provided:
- Read
Tasks/ for active and started tasks
- Read
GOALS.md for current priorities
- Read recent meeting notes or daily notes
- Use the combined picture as the subject
Step 3: Audit for Active Patterns
For each bias pattern in Section C, check whether it is present in the subject:
| Bias | Active? | Evidence |
|---|
| [pattern name] | Y/N | [specific signal if Y] |
Only show rows where Active = Y, unless no biases are detected (then say so clearly).
Step 4: Recommend a Countermove
For each active bias, provide one concrete countermove — a specific next action that directly addresses the pattern. No generic advice.
Examples:
- Breadth trap → "Pick one track and define what 'deep enough' looks like before expanding."
- Rushing to act → "Spend 20 minutes mapping the second-order effects before deciding."
- Initiation without assertion → "Name who owns the outcome and what 'done' looks like by when."
Step 5: Summary
One line: how many patterns are active, which is highest priority to address.
Output Format
Lead with the table (active biases only). Follow with countermoves. Close with the one-line summary. Keep it under one screen.
