coaching

coaching is a skill for Claude Code from mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter. It costs 103 tokens per session (3,098 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured coaching process for difficult conversations, uncertain decisions, or recurring personal patterns. It revisits the situation as new information appears and records progress over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work through a hard conversation, review a decision, respond to feedback, or track growth around a recurring issue.
Why use it?
It turns one-time advice into an ongoing record, so repeated blind spots and changes in thinking can be noticed across weeks or months.

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

coaching 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 10d 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.

Coaching Session — Multi-Pass Panel + Accountability Tracking

A skill that turns a one-off hard moment into a tracked accountability arc. Runs panel passes that update with the user's corrections, files a synthesized record with a re-eval date, and updates the vault's rolling pattern tracker so growth can be measured over time.

Why this exists

Daily journals capture one moment per day. Panel reactions inside /journal are one-shot. Most real coaching, real therapy, real advisor relationships are NOT one-shot — they're multi-turn, they update when new evidence comes in, and they track whether the same blind spot keeps surfacing across months.

The vault has all the pieces (panel rules in ⚙️ Meta/rules/advisory-panel.md, daily journals, decision logs) but no skill that orchestrates the multi-pass coaching arc and files it for tracking. This skill fills that gap.

Three-tier architecture

This skill produces files at three different timescales:

  1. Verbatim raw (immediate)📋 Strategy/Coaching Sessions/Processing Notes - YYYY-MM-DD - <topic>.md. The user's exact words during the session. Per the "save exact words" rule, no annotation, no synthesis. Available for re-read forever.

  2. Synthesized accountability record (per session)🏠 Home/Coaching Sessions/YYYY-MM-DD - <topic>.md. What surfaced, commitments named, re-eval date one month out. This is the file /weekly and /monthly look at to ask "did the pattern repeat? did the commitments land?"

  3. Rolling pattern aggregator (across sessions)🏠 Home/Panel Feedback Log.md. Patterns table at the top tracks mention counts. Single mention = watch. 2+ mentions across different contexts = promote to acute action item. The aggregator is what tells you "this is a real recurring pattern" vs "this was a one-off."

All three tiers honor __SKIP. Coaching sessions are exactly where someone says something out loud to think about it, not to record it. Before writing any of the three files, strip every line whose first token is __SKIP, then confirm one line per dropped item (Dropped __SKIP line N (token preview: ...)). Never paraphrase the dropped content into the synthesized record — tier 2 summarizing what tier 1 was told not to keep is the exact leak the convention exists to stop. Enforced by block-skip-prefix-in-vault-write.py; full rule at templates/rules/skip-prefix-convention.md.

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.
