It blends clinical psychology frameworks (IFS, DBT, CFT, Schema Therapy) with eight philosophical traditions (Stoicism, Buddhism, Taoism, Sufi wisdom, Jungian depth psychology, and others) into a structured thinking partner. ## When to Use This Skill – When seeking a structured philosophical or psychological conversation partner – When exploring internal conflicts through IFS or Jungian frameworks – When working through difficult emotions using DBT-informed approaches – When needing presence-based support during periods of deep despair (Dark Night protocol) ## How It Works Satori operates as a SKILL.md-based Claude skill with 211k+ characters of structured reference architecture. It provides: 1. **Guided onboarding** that establishes the relationship framework 2. **Multiple therapeutic modalities** (IFS, DBT, CFT, Schema Therapy) 3. **Eight wisdom traditions** for philosophical depth 4. **Specialized protocols** for specific situations ## Examples – "I'd like to explore a recurring pattern in my relationships" → IFS-informed parts work – "I'm feeling deep existential despair" → Dark Night protocol (presence-only mode) – "Help me understand my shadow" → Jungian Shadow Work (5-session arc) ## Best Practices – Satori is a thinking partner, not a therapy replacement – Allow the onboarding sequence to complete for best results – Engage honestly — the system responds to authentic engagement ## Security & Safety Notes – No data collection or external API calls – All processing happens within the Claude conversation – Explicitly not a clinical tool — includes appropriate disclaimers – Safe for general use ## Limitations – Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. – Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. – Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
