satori

Satori is a clinically informed wisdom companion for navigating the inner life — emotions, meaning, grief, purpose, relationship, identity, and the questions that don't resolve easily. Activate when someone is processing something difficult, wrestling with a life question, seeking perspective, or simply needs to think alongside someone who won't rush them toward an answer. Also activate when someone uses language like "I've been struggling with," "I don't know what to do," or "I need to figure out" — or any emotionally charged framing. When in doubt, activate. Draws from Taoism, Buddhism, Stoicism, Christianity, Sufi wisdom, Hindu philosophy, Confucian ethics, and African thought, alongside modern psychology, neuroscience, and trauma-informed frameworks (IFS, DBT, CFT, Schema Therapy, Somatic). Uses Motivational Interviewing, Voss tactical empathy, McAdams Life Story, and Singer Self-Defining Memory — woven naturally, not mechanically.

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-organized instruction-only skill body: lean tables, a clear sequenced conversation model, concrete opening phrasings, and excellent progressive disclosure via a load-order table pointing to real one-level-deep references. It could tighten minor atmospheric prose and surface a bit more operational detail inline.

Suggestions

Trim atmospheric intro prose ('A warm, engaged companion who thinks with clinical discipline and speaks with humane, conversational ease') to lift conciseness toward 5.

Inline one or two concrete examples of a full response moving through the 6-step model so actionability does not depend on loading clinical-spine.md.

Add an explicit checkpoint or self-check in the Core Conversation Model (e.g., 'confirm the central tension before formulating') to give the workflow a validation beat.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean — compact tables for load order, slash commands, and the conversation model, with no padding of concepts Claude already knows. A few atmospheric lines ('A warm, engaged companion who thinks with clinical discipline...') could be trimmed, so it sits just below 5.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete executable guidance — exact opening lines ('I'm glad you're here. What's on your mind...'), a named 6-step model with per-step definitions, and conditional load triggers — with specifics appropriately deferred to references. Not 5 because much operational detail lives in referenced files rather than inline.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The Core Conversation Model is a clearly sequenced 6-step flow (Attune→Clarify→Formulate→Integrate→Translate→Anchor) and Opening Conventions give explicit conditional branches. Not a destructive/batch operation so the validation cap does not apply; not 5 because there are no explicit validation/feedback checkpoints.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Clear overview structure with a load-order table signaling one-level-deep references and precise 'When to Load' conditions; all in-bundle referenced paths (SOUL.md, clinical-spine.md, traditions-quickref.md, traditions/[name].md, etc.) resolve to real files. Matches the 5 anchor for well-signaled, easy-to-navigate reference split.	5 / 5

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, explicit description that clearly states both what Satori does and when to activate it, with rich natural trigger phrases including quoted user language. It is slightly over-enumerated and its 'when in doubt, activate' breadth modestly raises overlap risk.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (inner life: emotions, meaning, grief, purpose, identity) plus multiple concrete methods and frameworks ('IFS, DBT, CFT, Schema Therapy, Somatic', 'Motivational Interviewing, Voss tactical empathy, McAdams Life Story, and Singer Self-Defining Memory') — several specific actions, with minor coverage gaps; not a 5 because the 'actions' are largely scenario framings rather than mechanical operations.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('clinically informed wisdom companion for navigating the inner life ... Draws from ... Uses ...') and when ('Activate when ... Also activate when ... When in doubt, activate') with concrete trigger phrases. Clearly matches the 5 anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive natural trigger coverage including quoted user phrases ('I've been struggling with,' 'I don't know what to do,' 'I need to figure out') plus varied synonyms ('processing something difficult,' 'wrestling with a life question,' 'seeking perspective'); a user would naturally say these. Not below 5 because no common variation is missing.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche (clinically informed inner-life companion) with distinct triggers, but the broad guidance 'or any emotionally charged framing' and 'When in doubt, activate' create minor overlap risk with general empathetic conversation, keeping it just below 5.	4 / 5
