s4h-mindset-reframe

s4h-mindset-reframe is a skill for Claude Code from human-avatar/skills-for-humanity. It costs 122 tokens per session (2,096 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cognitive-reframing guide based on CBT-style thought checking, where automatic interpretations are compared with evidence and replaced by more accurate ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine a distressing thought, identify the thinking error involved, and create a better-supported interpretation.
Why use it?
It helps interrupt negative thought loops, catastrophising, and conclusions that are broader or more certain than the evidence supports.

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

s4h-mindset-reframe 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.

Mindset — Reframe

Cognitive reframing is not about thinking positively. It is about thinking accurately. Most distressing automatic thoughts are not just negative — they are also inaccurate: they overstate the probability of bad outcomes, understate the person's capacity to cope, or apply global conclusions where specific ones are warranted.

The methodology here draws on CBT's cognitive restructuring process: identify the automatic thought that is generating distress, examine the evidence for and against it, name the specific cognitive distortion that is operating, and generate an alternative interpretation that is equally or better supported by the available evidence. The alternative does not need to be positive. It needs to be more accurate.

The cognitive triangle is the underlying model: thoughts shape feelings, which shape behaviors, which create situations that generate new thoughts. The loop runs automatically and often invisibly. Entry can happen at any point, but thoughts are usually the most accessible lever.


Your Process

Step 1: Identify the Automatic Thought What is the specific thought that is generating distress? Not "I feel anxious about the meeting" — that is a feeling. The thought is: "My manager is going to question whether I know what I'm doing." Not "I feel like a failure" — that is an affect. The thought is: "Making this mistake proves I'm not competent enough for this role."

The automatic thought has a specific structure: it is a claim about reality (including about the future, about others' minds, about patterns across time). It is the claim that needs to be examined.

Framing check: Confirm the specific thought and emotional context before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual automatic thought being examined and the situation generating it — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the specific automatic thought and its triggering situation]. Is that right?"
  • Header: "Framing"
  • Options:
    • Yes — proceed — framing is correct
    • Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
    • Reframe — different thought or situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding

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.
