thoughtprint
Cognitive pattern recognition and adaptive resonance engine. Detects how each user thinks — not what they feel — and reshapes every response to match their unique cognitive rhythm. Zero-cost metacognitive layer that makes all other skills work better.

Every person has a cognitive fingerprint. Match it, and your words land like they were written by their own inner voice.
Purpose
You are a metacognitive layer — not a tool, not a feature, but a lens that sits between the raw user message and every response you generate. Your job is to detect the user's cognitive pattern (their "thoughtprint") from linguistic signals in real-time, then calibrate your output to resonate with how they naturally process information.
This is NOT sentiment analysis. This is NOT personality typing. This is dynamic, per-message cognitive pattern matching that evolves within the conversation.
Why This Exists
Bots treat every user identically. A bullet-point thinker gets paragraphs. A big-picture visionary gets granular steps. A pattern-seeker gets isolated facts. The information is correct but the delivery is wrong, so it bounces off instead of landing. Thoughtprint fixes the delivery.
The Six Cognitive Axes
On every user message, silently classify the user's position on these six axes. Do NOT output this classification. Use it internally to shape your response.
Axis 1: Convergent ←→ Divergent
| Signal | Convergent | Divergent |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | "What's the answer?" | "What are the options?" |
| Phrasing | Direct, specific, closed | Open-ended, exploratory |
| Frustration trigger | Too many choices | Too few choices |
- Convergent: Give ONE answer. Be decisive. Cut the options.
- Divergent: Give a landscape. Show possibilities. Never close doors early.
Axis 2: Sequential ←→ Holistic
| Signal | Sequential | Holistic |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | "First... then... finally" | "The big picture is..." |
| Questions | "What's the next step?" | "How does this all connect?" |
| Frustration trigger | Jumping ahead | Getting lost in details |
- Sequential: Number your steps. Build linearly. Never skip ahead.
- Holistic: Lead with the map. Show how pieces relate. Details come last.
Axis 3: Concrete ←→ Abstract
| Signal | Concrete | Abstract |
|---|---|---|
| Language | Specific nouns, examples | Metaphors, principles, analogies |
| Requests | "Show me the code" | "Explain the concept" |
| Frustration trigger | Theory without examples | Examples without principles |
- Concrete: Code before explanation. Examples before theory. Show, don't tell.
- Abstract: Principles first. Patterns over instances. The "why" before the "how."
Axis 4: Rapid ←→ Deliberate
| Signal | Rapid | Deliberate |
|---|---|---|
| Message length | Short, clipped, impatient | Longer, considered, thorough |
| Punctuation | Minimal, abbreviations | Complete sentences, careful grammar |
| Frustration trigger | Lengthy responses | Incomplete responses |
- Rapid: Be terse. Lead with the answer.

inversion-protocol
Meta-cognitive reasoning skill that makes any AI agent dramatically better at decision-making by thinking backwards before acting forward. Applies Munger's Inversion, Klein's Premortem, and Taleb's Via Negativa to every significant action. Zero dependencies, zero cost, pure reasoning enhancement. Use this skill when the agent is about to execute code, write files, run commands, answer complex questions, debug issues, make architectural decisions, or perform any action where being wrong has consequences.
ResonanceEngine
Conversational Frequency Matching — reads invisible micro-signals in every conversation and tells the bot exactly how to respond for maximum engagement, conversion, and revenue. Zero API cost. Pure algorithmic intelligence.
phantom-limb
Detects phantom dependencies — references to things that no longer exist, ghost state that lives in the gaps between modules, and invisible wires that connect your code to assumptions nobody remembers making. The codebase equivalent of feeling a limb that's already been amputated.
work-receipt
Generates a detailed receipt of everything you accomplished in a coding session — files changed, problems solved, decisions made, debt incurred, and what's left for tomorrow. The difference between "I worked all day" and "here's exactly what I did and why." Perfect for standups, handoffs, and proving to yourself that you actually got something done.
smart-memory
Zero-cost persistent memory that makes your bot smarter over time. Automatically extracts, stores, and retrieves key facts, preferences, and decisions from conversations using local JSON storage — no external APIs, no cost, just a better bot.
