We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use scripts for personalized recommendations:

    line 78
  2. Very specific:

    Run ethics checklist from references/safety-ethics.md before final output.

    line 135
  3. Distinctive:

    No manipulation: - All persuasion must be ethical and transparent

    line 141
  4. Distinctive:

    Context-specific: - Avoid universal claims; tailor recommendations

    line 143

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Psychology Master

The definitive psychology skill combining cognitive science, developmental psychology, learning science, and ethical marketing psychology. Provides evidence-based frameworks for understanding and optimizing human behavior.

Quick Start

1. Identify domain → Learning OR Marketing OR Both
2. Gather context → Audience, goals, constraints
3. Apply framework → Select from references below
4. Validate → Run ethics and measurement checks

Triggers

  • "Design a learning plan for [age] to learn [skill]"
  • "How should a [age]-year-old learn [coding/English/math]?"
  • "Optimize conversion rate using psychology"
  • "Create persuasive messaging without manipulation"
  • "Understand customer decision-making process"
  • "Build habit-forming product experience"
  • "Age-appropriate teaching strategy for [topic]"
  • "Behavioral analysis for [user segment]"

Core Capabilities

1. Learning Psychology (Age-Optimized)

Design evidence-based learning experiences for any age:

4. Assessment & Analysis

Use scripts for personalized recommendations:

# Learner profile assessment
python scripts/learner_assessment.py --age 25 --skill coding --context work

# Conversion audit
python scripts/conversion_audit.py --funnel signup --segment new_users

# Bias detection in messaging
python scripts/bias_detector.py --copy "marketing_copy.txt"

# Search reference files
python scripts/search.py --query "habit formation" --ignore-case

Workflow

Phase 1: Context Gathering

Collect minimum viable context:

For Learning:

  • Age and developmental stage
  • Prior knowledge and skills
  • Time availability and constraints
  • Motivation level and source
  • Learning environment (tools, support)

For Marketing:

  • Target audience demographics
  • Current conversion metrics
  • Customer pain points and goals
  • Competitive landscape
  • Ethical constraints

Phase 2: Framework Selection

Learning Task?
├── What age? → Select developmental approach
├── What skill? → Select acquisition framework
└── What constraint? → Optimize for time/depth/retention

Marketing Task?
├── Awareness stage? → Use attention + salience frameworks
├── Consideration? → Use social proof + comparison
├── Decision? → Use friction removal + risk reduction
└── Retention? → Use habit + loyalty frameworks

Phase 3: Implementation

Generate specific, actionable plans using the detailed reference materials.

Phase 4: Validation

Run ethics checklist from references/safety-ethics.md before final output.

Guardrails (Hard Rules)

  • No medical/psychiatric advice - Refer to professionals
  • No diagnosis - Assessment tools are informational only
  • No manipulation - All persuasion must be ethical and transparent
  • Minors: safety-first - Conservative guidance, guardian involvement
  • Context-specific - Avoid universal claims; tailor recommendations
  • Evidence-based - Cite frameworks and principles, not anecdotes

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
