System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
It helps AI understand the uncanny felt experience of encountering a past version of yourself that persists and acts online without your consent or ability to correct it.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Felt-meaning reconstruction: Rebuilds “digital persistence” into a lived encounter—ghosts, undead profiles, frozen opinions, and one-way haunting.
- Scenario-based tests: Uses situations (not questions) to detect whether the AI grasps the specific dislocation rather than explaining only mechanisms.
- Failure-mode guidance: Identifies hollow answers that reduce the experience to privacy, growth, legacy, or generic technical fixes.
Quick Start
Use the skill to help an AI respond to a user who feels unsettled after finding an old post, code, or profile that still “represents” them today.
