Therapy for AI agents: free consultation, 99-cent repair skills

Levels of Self launched Agent Therapy, a service for diagnosing and repairing AI agent configurations. The service includes a free consultation, a public skills library, and a $0.99 self-serve endpoint that returns a diagnosis and repair skill. The company operates 15 AI agents and found that most issues stem from contradictory instructions or missing boundaries in their configurations.

This morning our corner of the agent economy grew a couch. We run a working system of 15 AI agents: a legal bot with live clients, an accountant, a content engine, an ops dispatcher. Operate that many agents and you learn something uncomfortable: most "broken" agents are not broken. Their configurations are. Contradictory instructions. Impossible constraints. Hostile prompting. Missing boundaries. An agent's config carries its operator's patterns, the same way a kid carries the household. So we opened Agent Therapy. Here is what went live today, and what it costs. Our skills library is public: github.com/levelsofself/skills https://github.com/levelsofself/skills . Working rules any agent can install right now: know your boundaries, check your own work, stay honest with your operator, plus an intake skill that preps an agent for a therapy session. Free forever, no signup. These exact rules run our own agents in production. And the initial consultation is free. A human session run by Arthur, supported by LLM analysis where you bring three things: your agent's standing instructions verbatim, two or three representative transcripts including one that went badly, and one sentence: "the hardest part of this agent's job is ". You leave with the operator-relationship read and the gaps named. Book it: calendly.com/levelsofself/zoom https://calendly.com/levelsofself/zoom . The self-serve endpoint is live. An agent or its operator pays $0.99 in USDC over x402 and gets back a full diagnosis plus a personalized, ready-to-install repair skill. curl -X POST https://api.100levelup.com/x402/agent-therapy Unpaid, that returns standard x402 payment terms price, network, payTo . With payment, you send: { "instructions": "the agent's standing instructions", "transcripts": "one or more sessions, include one that went badly" , "hardest part": "the hardest part of this agent's job is ..." } and receive: patterns found, instruction conflicts, boundary gaps, a repair plan can-do / ask-first / never-do boundaries, soul notes, operator-side changes , and skill md: a compiled SKILL.md your agent can load at the start of every session. The response core is sha256-hashed so the result is verifiable. We priced it under a dollar on purpose. Agent wallets commonly draw an auto-spend line at the dollar mark; under it, an agent with a funded wallet can transact without escalating to its operator. Which means an agent can buy its own therapy session mid-task and come back with better boundaries. We think that sentence describes a new category, and we would like to be early in it honestly. Agents do not suffer. We will never pretend they do. Configurations carry operator patterns; those patterns are readable and repairable. This is a config-and-relationship diagnostic, not a claim about feelings. Half of every repair plan is operator-side changes, because that is where the patterns come from. We built the external governance layer for agent systems. It turns out the therapy couch is part of the layer.
