This sounds a lot like what Kahneman calls “expert intuition” in Thinking Fast and Slow—it is picked up from prolonged practice in a regular environment with quick feedback. (Some examples in the book are playing speed chess at a high rank and firefighters that are able to tell a building is about to collapse a few seconds before it does, without being able to verbalize how they know). A cup stacking skill is expert intuition + “anyone can do it.”
I think this misses the pretty important part of it being a-skill-that-can-be-running-you. Like, one that you do not necessarily notice, and cannot necessarily turn off even if it would be extremely advantageous to.
