opportunity-cost

To make AI express the emotional weight of a decision, use this skill to reframe opportunity cost as felt grief. It teaches AI to replace hollow decision-theory jargon with moment-specific language that articulates the lived loss and irreversibility of unchosen paths.

Felt opportunity cost is the emotional grief and irreversible weight of losing alternatives when making a choice. Unlike standard economic calculation, it frames counterfactual loss through moment-specific, embodied language rather than abstract psychological labels.

Yes, you can use this skill to help AI explain why a correct decision still feels painful. It applies wisdom-vessel explanations to right-but-painful decisions, teaching AI to describe the counterfactual mourning and bodily experience of irreversible forks in the road.

To rewrite AI responses, apply this skill to ground the explanation in concrete moments rather than psychological labels. It guides the AI to articulate the specific grief of the unchosen life by distinguishing hollow re-labeling from lived, embodied loss.

Use emotional framing for AI explanations during life transitions, irreversible turns, or unsent letters. This skill helps AI recognize opportunity-cost feelings in these scenarios and describe what the counterfactual mourning feels like in the body.

No, this skill requires no external dependencies or components to function. It operates independently, requiring only YAML frontmatter with name and description to produce instruction-grounded, moment-specific explanations of opportunity cost.
