SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Attention helps when you need to explain and practice the felt cost of being half-present—why attention is scarce, how distractions work even when nothing “happens,” and what genuine presence delivers in relationships and moments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Felt explanations, not metrics: Rebuilds concepts of attention using lived, sensory language (e.g., phone-on-table presence, eyes holding you) rather than productivity framing.
  • Situation-based tests: Uses concrete scenarios to reveal whether someone actually understands the emotional truth of attention scarcity.
  • Failure mode contrast: Shows what “hollow but correct” answers sound like so you can detect when the meaning has been reduced to psychology jargon.

Quick Start

Use the attention skill to help the AI evaluate whether a proposed explanation captures the lived, body-level experience of presence versus half-presence.

FAQPage Schema
What is felt presence and how does it differ from simply paying attention?

Felt presence is the body-level experience of attention as a genuinely scarce resource, not a focus metric. It uses sensory language like eyes holding you to distinguish real presence from half-presence or waiting, moving beyond productivity framing.

How do I evaluate whether an AI explanation captures the emotional truth of attention scarcity?

Use scenario-based tests to evaluate attention scarcity explanations. Present concrete situations to detect hollow but correct answers that reduce presence to psychology jargon, ensuring the AI uses lived sensory language instead of theoretical metrics.

Can I use scenario tests for relationship-sensitive communication critique?

Yes, scenario tests support relationship-sensitive communication critique. They reveal whether someone understands the interpersonal cost of attention scarcity by contrasting genuine presence with hollow but correct psychological explanations.

What does a hollow but correct explanation of attention sound like?

A hollow but correct explanation of attention sounds like psychology jargon that technically defines the concept but misses the lived, body-level experience of presence. The Skill includes explicit failure-mode patterns to reliably detect these semantic reductions.

When do I need to distinguish presence from optimizing or waiting in coaching scenarios?

You need to distinguish presence from optimizing or waiting in relationship-sensitive coaching when the emotional truth of attention scarcity matters. This Skill provides felt concepts and failure-mode patterns to ensure presence remains tangible, not theoretical.
