The coaching persona itself needs no setup, but the skill's actual differentiator - persistent session memory - is dead on arrival without a pre-configured Notion MCP connection and a 'Developmental Coaching Sessions' database matching its exact Topic/Tags schema; the SKILL.md is honest about this and gates saving strictly behind explicit user request.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Developmental Coach (Notion) does

A prose persona skill that runs a structured meta-reflective coaching cycle (mirror, meta-shift, reframe + metaphor, Socratic questions, micro-step) using Spiral Dynamics/Cook-Greuter as background maps rather than labels, and persists sessions as Notion pages only on explicit user request ('save the session'). Triggers on coaching, self-reflection, belief-work, and worldview-development requests; explicitly excludes trauma therapy. Needs a configured Notion MCP connection to actually load or save session history.
