Overview

This is a text-only philosophy/self-inquiry skill, but it directly targets vulnerable emotional distress without clear crisis or professional-support boundaries.

Install only if you want philosophical self-inquiry content and understand it is not mental health care. Avoid relying on it for crisis, suicidal thoughts, severe anxiety, grief that feels unmanageable, abuse, psychosis, medical issues, or inability to function; in those cases use emergency, crisis, or qualified professional support instead.

Findings (4)

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 86% confidence
• Finding: The activation text says the skill will appear whenever it 'senses this book could help,' which is an open-ended trigger with no clear scope boundary. In a mental-health-adjacent skill, this can cause inappropriate invocation in unrelated or high-risk conversations, increasing the chance that philosophical guidance displaces safer, more context-appropriate responses.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill explicitly targets fear, sorrow, emptiness, and distress, but provides no safety boundary, crisis escalation, or statement that it is not a substitute for professional support. Because the content encourages users to stay with suffering and avoid escape, a distressed user could be steered deeper into harmful rumination instead of toward appropriate help.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The Quick Start includes an example describing constant fear, death, loss, uncertainty, and exhaustion, which are severe distress indicators, yet it offers no warning or redirect. Presenting this as routine onboarding normalizes use in potentially acute mental health situations and may cause the skill to respond with spiritual framing where urgent support assessment is needed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The file gives direct guidance for anxiety, grief, depression-like distress, and dependency without any safety boundaries, crisis guidance, or encouragement to seek qualified support. In a self-help skill explicitly triggered by vulnerable users, instructions like 'stop analyzing,' 'drop the practice,' and 'stay with it completely' can discourage appropriate care or intensify distress, especially for bereavement or significant mental-health symptoms.
