Introducing /life-coach: A Thinking Partner That Knows Its Limits

Magnus shipped a new Agent Skill called 'life-coach' today as part of his Agent Skills catalog, an open, evidence-aware framework for nonclinical coaching conversations that restricts itself to a narrow, no-capability mode until its capability contract is completed and validated. The tool is designed to help users think through decisions without steering, diagnosing, or taking ownership of the decision.

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.
