SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand why favors and gestures can feel heavy, sting when unreturned, or destabilize relationships when the balance shifts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Felt reciprocity, not social strategy: Reframes reciprocity as the lived sense of balance between people (debt, gratitude, obligation, warmth), so the AI can describe what it feels like when the ground tilts.
  • Contrastive guidance for detection: Uses felt vs. hollow explanations to help spot when an answer is only accounting for exchanges rather than inhabiting the emotional/physical weight.
  • Scenario-based testing: Provides situations (not “definitions”) that reveal whether an explanation captures genuine reciprocity experience.

Quick Start

Use the reciprocity skill to help the AI explain why an unreturned gesture stings in a specific relationship scenario.

FAQPage Schema
What is felt reciprocity and how does it explain social dynamics?▼

Felt reciprocity translates social exchanges into lived balance and body-level tilt. It describes the physical and emotional weight of give-and-take, contrasting genuine felt explanations with hollow ledger-like accounting of favors and obligations.

How do I explain the emotional weight of unacknowledged labor without sounding transactional?▼

Use felt explanations with concrete relational imagery to describe the body-level tilt of unacknowledged labor. This approach avoids hollow ledger-like framing and sociological labels, focusing instead on the lived experience of imbalance.

Can this skill help analyze unequal gifts and obligation in relationship scenarios?▼

Yes, the skill applies to scenarios involving unequal gifts, obligation, and gratitude. It uses scenario-based testing to reveal whether an explanation captures the genuine experience of give-and-take rather than just sociological definitions.

When should I avoid using a ledger-like framework for relationship balance?▼

You should avoid ledger-like framing when trying to capture genuine reciprocity, because it produces hollow explanations. Instead, reframe social dynamics as a felt sense of balance to properly inhabit the emotional and physical weight.
