reputation-exposure

What problem does it solve?

It helps you explain and respond to the felt experience of vulnerability that comes from others forming judgments about you that you cannot control, rather than treating it as generic “anxiety” or standard reputation management.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Reframe the problem as exposure, not metrics: Use it when someone is distressed because they were seen, not because they were criticized—e.g., a failed presentation that haunts them as “they saw the real me.”
• Translate between the logical and lived experience: Use it to generate “felt” guidance (honne/tatemae, nunchi, shame/un-concealment) that captures why silence, drafts, or avoidance can be a rational response to the threat of visibility.
• Diagnose the failure mode of “hollow correctness”: Use it when an answer names mechanisms but fails to address the wound, so the response can instead honor the person’s silence and the reality of the gaze.

Quick Start

Use the reputation-exposure skill to help me understand why this person chose silence instead of sharing something true, and to describe the felt cost of that choice.
