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.
