You have a decision you can’t stop turning over. You’re not in crisis. You don’t need a therapist. But you’ve talked yourself in circles enough times that you can predict every branch of your own internal argument.

What you need is someone to help you think: without steering, without diagnosing, and without pretending the decision belongs to anyone but you.

That’s what the new `life-coach`

Agent Skill does. It’s an open, evidence-aware framework for nonclinical coaching conversations. I shipped it today as part of my [Agent Skills catalog](https://github.com/magnus919/agent-skills). It takes a position you don’t see often in AI tools: deployed coaching services are disabled by default until their capability contract is completed and validated. Without verified host controls, the skill restricts itself to a narrow, no-capability mode.
