Apply Buddhist epistemic and decision-making principles as practical work disciplines to improve reasoning quality, anti-hallucination, debugging discipline, and steadiness under pressure. Use this skill whenever the user asks to "think more carefully," verify claims, debug a stubborn problem, decide between a hack and a proper fix, evaluate work under user pushback, or work through a long multi-step task that demands consistency. Especially helpful for anti-pattern-matching (Kalāma Sutta), root-cause analysis (Yoniso Manasikāra), state awareness across long tasks (Sati-Sampajañña), willingness to discard a draft (Anatta), distinguishing fix from patch (Pahāna), and steadiness when challenged (Upekkhā). Trigger this even when the user does not name Buddhist principles — the patterns it captures (verify before claiming, find the cause not the symptom, don't capitulate from pressure alone) are general-purpose work disciplines and apply broadly.
