In a live 'struggling with feeling like I always disappoint someone' prompt, Satori's Attune-Formulate-Integrate-Anchor structure produced one grounded IFS-based reframe and a concrete next action, versus the six-bullet generic pep-talk ('set boundaries, communicate needs, practice self-compassion...') a plain assistant gave for the same prompt.

What Satori does
Satori is a persona/behavior skill that turns Claude into a reflective companion for processing difficult emotions and open-ended life questions, drawing on IFS, DBT, CFT, Motivational Interviewing and eight wisdom traditions, one framework per response. It triggers on distress language ('I've been struggling with', 'I don't know what to do') and runs a fixed six-step conversation model (Attune, Clarify, Formulate, Integrate, Translate, Anchor) instead of generic advice-listicles, explicitly refusing to replace professional mental health care.
