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:
-
Guided onboarding that establishes the relationship framework
-
Multiple therapeutic modalities (IFS, DBT, CFT, Schema Therapy)
-
Eight wisdom traditions for philosophical depth
-
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
