Choose the job in front of you.
4 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Belief Update Review
Use this workflow when explanation, instinct, or a claimed behavior change must be calibrated against visible repair, repeated action, predictions, returned signals, outcomes, and what affected people can actually observe.
Output Return the behavior-change receipt, calibration log, predicted-versus-observed comparison, instinct assessment, affected-person evidence, belief update, guardrail, confidence, and next test.
External Signal Plan
Use this workflow when an external problem is being simulated internally and the operator needs a bounded contact move through a customer, artifact, direct conversation, field observation, body check, constraint test, decision record, number, or graded exposure.
Output Return the reality question, contact menu, obvious-move ranking, selected action, risk and permission checks, optional avoidance ladder, prediction, evidence capture, update rule, and next step.
Introspection Trap Diagnosis
Use this workflow when self-awareness, analysis, explanation, or sophisticated interpretation keeps expanding while a decision, conversation, repair, customer contact, body signal, number, constraint, or shipped artifact remains avoided.
Output Return the analysis-versus-contact table, evidence and inference split, mirror count, operating cost, analysis budget, simplest respectable move, proof standard, deadline, and update trigger.
Reality Contact Cadence
Use this workflow when projects, relationships, or self-improvement systems accumulate commentary, routines, protocols, and repeated insights faster than customer contact, shipped work, decisions, repairs, physical action, or tested constraints.
Output Return the contact audit across work, relationships, and operating systems; transfer evidence; repeated-insight list; weekly ledger; scheduled move; paused-system experiment; updates; and next review date.
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
