# 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.
