Satori

Overview

Satori is a clinically informed AI wisdom companion built as a Claude skill. 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.
