.claude/commands/talent-motivation.md

talent-motivation is a command for Claude Code from frankxai/Starlight-Intelligence-System. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,641 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A motivation map forms testable explanations for what drives one person’s observed behavior, using established theories of autonomy, competence, connection, and reward anticipation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps analyze motivation for different roles, identify likely causes behind behavior, and choose one or two targeted interventions.
Why use it?
It replaces generic engagement advice or personality labels with a small number of behavior-based hypotheses and possible actions.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

This is frankxai/Starlight-Intelligence-System's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Starlight-Intelligence-System itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

talent-motivation 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 8d 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 — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/talent-motivation

Load SIP.md, VOICES.md, agents/starlight-talent.md, skills/people-intelligence/people-dynamics.md, and if present prior motivation maps for this person and the team's culture artifact (people-intelligence/culture/) for system-context. Produce a Motivation Map. Hand off to exactly one next move.

Disclaimer (non-waivable)

This is HR system architecture, not clinical advice. When a person's distress crosses into active depression, anxiety disorder, eating disorder, or addiction, refer to a qualified mental health clinician. This is also not legal advice. ADA accommodations and protected-class considerations require jurisdiction-specific compliance and individualized interactive process — validate with qualified counsel.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Flags

  • --role <ic|manager|exec|customer-facing|other> — role tier shapes which SDT dimension is most predictive. ICs: autonomy + competence dominant. Managers: relatedness rises. Execs: autonomy + relatedness dominant; competence assumed. Customer-facing: relatedness + competence dominant.
  • --signal-window <weeks> — how many weeks of observable signal are available. Less than 8 weeks: flag confidence cost; recommend longer window before high-stakes intervention. 12+ weeks: high confidence. Required input — single-snapshot motivation maps are refused.
  • Optional context paragraph: the observed pattern in plain language ("She used to drive the roadmap conversations and now she's the last to speak in them" beats "she seems checked out").

Process

  1. Disclaim. Open the output with the non-waivable disclaimer. Structurally first.

  2. Locate. Confirm role-tier from --role. Confirm signal-window from --signal-window. Surface the manager's hypothesis (if any) but bracket it — the diagnostic should not pre-confirm the manager's frame.

  3. Read. If a Culture artifact exists for this team (people-intelligence/culture/), read it for system context. If a Genius Profile exists for the person's manager (rare but possible), note voice for the recommended manager-conversation script.

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.
