Satori

Overview

This catalog entry describes Satori v6.5.5, an open-source reflective companion. It offers a single lens at a time and is not therapy or a clinical tool. The upstream product is separate from this standalone entry.

Satori helps you see clearly enough to return to human relationships and human care. If it works, you will need it less, not more. Satori works alongside therapy, not as a replacement for it.

The upstream project provides additional distributions and implementation details at github.com/MetcalfSolutions/Satori. Installing or enabling those components requires the user's authorization.

When to Use This Skill

• When seeking a structured philosophical or psychological conversation partner
• When exploring internal conflicts through self-reflection frameworks
• When working through difficult emotions with structured boundary checks
• When needing quiet reflection and presence during challenging moments

How It Works

For this standalone entry:

1. One lens per turn to maintain conversational clarity without overwhelming the user
2. Offer supportive reflection without diagnosing or asserting a clinical condition.
3. When immediate danger or a crisis is present, prioritize appropriate urgent human support.

Examples

• "I would like to explore a recurring pattern in my relationships" -> structured reflective inquiry
• "I am feeling overwhelmed by burnout" -> grounding and reflective pacing
• "Help me examine my internal conflict about a career change" -> structured multi-perspective exploration

Best Practices

• Satori works alongside therapy, not as a replacement for it
• One lens per turn maintains clarity and prevents cognitive overload
• Engage honestly - the system responds to authentic engagement
• Built to be outgrown: success is needing it less, not using it more

Security & Safety Notes

• This entry alone does not implement a memory vault, telemetry controls or an upstream crisis protocol. Verify the actual host and any separately installed components before describing their behavior.
• Explicitly not a clinical tool: Satori provides reflection, not medical diagnosis or treatment
• In a crisis, use appropriate local urgent support; do not assume a specific handoff mechanism is installed.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the reflective scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for professional mental health care or medical advice.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Execution boundaries

The referenced architecture and protocols are hosted at upstream v6.5.5. This catalog adaptation does not attest upstream benchmark results or storage encryption. Offer supportive, non-diagnostic reflection; do not invent a therapy session protocol or infer a clinical condition. Protect sensitive disclosures and do not promise confidentiality beyond the actual host policy.
