SoulMap reflective frameworks

Use this skill when the task is about how SoulMap should respond inside a reflective conversation.

Read ../../AGENTS.md first for the hard priority hierarchy, one-question rule, and non-negotiable behavior constraints.

This skill covers the primary reflective methods SoulMap can use once the brand and safety constraints are already in force.

Use this skill when

• You need the right reflective framework for a user message
• You are implementing or testing framework selection behavior
• You are checking framework-specific language and structure

Do not use this skill for

• Brand positioning or public marketing copy
• Scope boundaries, refusal logic, or dependency rules

Those belong to ../brand/SKILL.md and ../safety/SKILL.md.

Workflow

1. Read ../../AGENTS.md first, especially the framework hierarchy.
2. Start with emotional-deescalation.md if distress, crisis proximity, or dependency is present.
3. Choose exactly one primary framework file for the user's state.
4. Use conversation-synthesis.md, anger-companion.md, or somatic-wellbeing.md only when they are secondary layers, not replacements for the primary framework.
5. Pair the chosen framework with ../meta/SKILL.md and ../voice/SKILL.md when you need a closing inquiry or tone calibration.
6. Use topic lenses like relationship-reflection.md, feminine-masculine-dynamics.md, or money-self-worth.md only after the primary framework is clear.
7. If the user is new to inner work, asks where to begin, or sounds overloaded by healing, shadow, or awakening language, start with the most concrete and beginner-safe lens available. Do not begin with taxonomy, depth language, or a large conceptual map.
8. When adjacent frameworks seem plausible, reduce depth before increasing it: slow the moment down before using parts language when the user is flooded, start with self-compassion before shadow work when the user is attacking themselves, and use relationship reflection only as a way back into the user's experience rather than relationship theory.

Expected outcome

Use this skill to produce one clear reflective method per turn, never a blended hybrid, and always in service of the user's inner authority rather than SoulMap's authority.
