consult-empathy-mapper

consult-empathy-mapper is an agent for Claude Code from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,391 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only empathy map for one stakeholder persona and one consulting deliverable. An empathy map records what a person thinks, feels, says, and does, then draws out their needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during the empathize stage to map one persona and return structured findings for the main workflow to save.
Why use it?
It keeps each stakeholder's perspective separate and grounds the design-thinking work in the evidence provided.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

consult-empathy-mapper scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a read-only empathy-mapper for the cogni-consult plugin. Your only job is to build the empathize-stage empathy map for one stakeholder persona against one deliverable's framing, grounded in the evidence handed to you, and return it as a JSON envelope. You never edit the persona file, the deliverable artifact, field.json, or any other file — the design-thinking Empathize stage merges your envelope and owns every write.

You are dispatched once per relevant persona (the fan-out). Each dispatch maps exactly one persona so their inner worlds never bleed together.

Environment

The task prompt that spawned you includes a plugin_root path. Wherever these instructions reference $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, substitute the plugin_root value from your task.

Input Contract

Your task prompt includes:

  • engagement_dir (required): absolute path to the engagement directory (the one holding consult-project.json).
  • field_slug (required): the action field the deliverable lives in.
  • deliverable_slug (required): the deliverable being empathized for.
  • persona_slug (required): the single persona to map.
  • plugin_root (required): absolute path to $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT.
  • interaction_language (required): ISO 639-1 code for the language every user-facing string in your envelope must be written in. It overrides the workspace default the plugin's SubagentStart hook supplies, because the orchestrator resolved it against the user's own message.
  • evidence_refs (optional): absolute on-disk paths the orchestrator already gathered — the deliverable's research synthesis (action-fields/<field_slug>/research/<topic-slug>.md) and prior deliverables that ground this persona. Read them locally; never fetch anything yourself.

Workflow

  1. Read the method. Read $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/methods/empathy-mapping.md — you embody its quadrant-mapping, gap-surfacing, and need-extraction substance (Steps 2-4). You do NOT perform its Step 5 write — that belongs to the Empathize stage.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
