psychological-safety

psychological-safety is a skill for Claude Code from fatihguner/foreman. It costs 88 tokens per session (3,489 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for assessing and building psychological safety on a team, meaning whether people feel able to take interpersonal risks such as asking questions, admitting mistakes, or challenging an idea. It uses four stages: inclusion, learning, contribution, and challenge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess team communication, understand why people stay silent, support learning from mistakes, and help team members contribute and challenge assumptions.
Why use it?
People may withhold concerns or ideas when they expect embarrassment, punishment, or exclusion. The framework helps identify which kind of participation is missing and what leadership behaviour may be blocking it.

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

psychological-safety 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 5d 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.

Psychological Safety

When Google set out to discover what made its best teams effective, the company expected to find that optimal team composition -- the right mix of skills, seniority, and personality types -- was the primary driver. Project Aristotle, as the two-year internal research initiative was named, analysed 180 Google teams and found something different. Who was on the team mattered far less than how the team worked together. The single most important factor distinguishing high-performing teams from the rest was psychological safety: the shared belief among team members that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. Not trust in the abstract, but the specific, felt confidence that speaking up with a question, concern, mistake, or half-formed idea will not result in punishment or humiliation. Amy Edmondson, the Harvard Business School professor who originated the concept, had been studying it for over a decade before Google's data confirmed its primacy. The finding carries particular weight for startups, where the margin for error is thin, the information environment is ambiguous, and the consequences of silence -- unvoiced concerns, unraised objections, unreported failures -- can be existential.


The Framework

What Psychological Safety Is (and Is Not)

Edmondson is precise about the boundaries of the concept. Psychological safety is not:

  • Niceness. Teams with high psychological safety can have fierce debates. The difference is that the fierceness targets ideas, not people.
  • Lower standards. Psychological safety does not mean reducing accountability. It means creating conditions where people can be honest about problems, which is a prerequisite for genuine accountability.
  • Unconditional agreement. The point is not that everyone feels comfortable all the time. The point is that discomfort comes from intellectual challenge, not from fear of retaliation.
