Integration Patterns (Upgrade Existing)
Integration is a documentation pattern, not a manifest skill — there is no
/healing-integrate slash command. Invoke it with a freeform prompt (e.g.
claude -p "Apply the healing integration pattern to this project") after
installing the components described on the Integration page.
| Pattern | Invocation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Integration | Freeform prompt | Add healing properties to any existing project |
Specialized Integration Patterns (also freeform-prompt patterns, not skills):
| Pattern | Best For |
|---|---|
| Project Analysis | AI-powered HEAL assessment of any codebase |
| Healing Gamification | Non-manipulative engagement mechanics |
| Narrative Healing | Interactive fiction and visual novels |
| Game Healing | Video game wellness mechanics |
Integral Theory Skills (Wilber)
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| AQAL Check-In | /aqal-check-in | Structured four-quadrant self-inquiry |

| Spectrum Meditation | /spectrum-meditation | Three-body progressive state training |
| Integral Psychograph | /integral-psychograph | Developmental line self-reflection (not assessment) |
| Perspective Practice | /perspective-practice | Quadrant perspective-taking on life situations |
Note: Integral theory skills draw on Ken Wilber's AQAL metatheory (2000), developmental psychology (Piaget, Cook-Greuter, Kohlberg, Kegan), and contemplative traditions. The AQAL framework is labeled as a theoretical synthesis — useful for self-reflection but not a validated clinical instrument. All content includes explicit evidence-level labeling.
Consciousness Skills (Grinberg Research)
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Coherence Meditation | /coherence-meditation | Guided interhemispheric coherence practices |
| Syntergic Research | /syntergic-research | Deep research into Grinberg's consciousness science |
| Resonance Pairing | /resonance-pairing | Paired/group transferred potential protocols |
| Orbital Journey | /orbital-journey | Progressive multi-day consciousness expansion |
Note: Consciousness skills are based on the preliminary research of Dr. Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum (UNAM, 1970s-1994). All content produced by these skills includes explicit evidence-level labeling and safety framing.
Breathwork Skills (Wim Hof Method)
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|

| WHM Cold Exposure | /whm-cold-exposure | Progressive cold adaptation protocols |
| WHM Journey | /whm-journey | Multi-week integrated WHM program (all 3 pillars) |
Note: Breathwork skills are based on Wim Hof Method research (Kox et al. 2014, Muzik et al. 2018) with proper safety architecture. All protocols include comprehensive contraindication screening and never practice near water warnings.
Language Awareness Skills (Cognitive Deautomatization)
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Language Awareness | /language-awareness | Individual cognitive deautomatization practices |
| Group Perception | /group-perception | Group perception exercises with consent frameworks |
Note: Language awareness skills draw on cognitive deautomatization research (Deikman 1966), semantic satiation studies, and Chase Hughes' Tongue (2024), with cross-tradition parallels from Zen, Dzogchen, and phenomenology. All protocols include psychological safety framing and grounding anchors.
Sound & Vibratory Healing
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Sound Healing | /sound-healing | Therapeutic sound practices — mantra, chanting, toning, singing bowl |
| Sound Research | /sound-research | Evidence review for sound-based healing interventions |
Note: Sound healing covers Vedic mantra, Psalm chanting, Gregorian chant, Tibetan singing bowl, and vagal toning. All protocols screen for hearing conditions and respect open/closed practice boundaries.
Hyperhumanism & Sound Consciousness (Carl Hayden Smith)
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Archaeoacoustic Toning | /archaeoacoustic-toning | Vocal toning at sacred site frequencies |
| Sound Consciousness | /sound-consciousness | Museum of Consciousness-style samples with 6D self-assessment |

| Umwelt Practice | /umwelt-practice | Sensory augmentation and perceiving-as-other exercises |
| Cyberdelic Research | /cyberdelic-research | Deep research into consciousness technologies and endo-tech |
Note: Hyperhumanism skills are based on the work of Carl Hayden Smith (Museum of Consciousness, Balliol College, Oxford). They explore endo-technologies (internal practices) for consciousness exploration. Pharmaco-technologies are HARD EXCLUDED from all content. Archaeoacoustic evidence is preliminary. Holotechnica stacking methodology is theoretical. All content includes explicit evidence-level labeling and safety framing.
Consciousness Literacy Skills
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Context Engineering | /context-engineering | Designs the experiential container — setting, priming, intention, re-entry — before any practice |
| Consciousness Audit | /consciousness-audit | Periodic check-in mapping practice history to literacy level per modality cluster |
Note: Context engineering is Smith's Contextology, usable standalone or as a preparation step before any other skill. Consciousness audit is a reflective self-assessment against the four-cluster, four-level literacy taxonomy in
shared/consciousness-literacy-levels.md— self-report only, with no published norms or diagnostic meaning.
Safety & Practice Support Skills
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Practice Screening | /practice-screening | Contraindication screening front door before any practice skill runs |
| Adverse Response | /adverse-response | Stabilize, ground, assess, adapt, and log after a practice reaction |
| Practice Pathway | /practice-pathway | Multi-week plans sequencing existing skills, screening-first |
| Outcome Tracking | /outcome-tracking | WHO-5/PSS-10/PSQI/VAS measurement plans, privacy-first, not diagnosis |
| Foundation Meditation | /foundation-meditation | Plain breath/body-scan/loving-kindness practice, framework-neutral |
| Caregiver Support | /caregiver-support | Capacity, boundaries, anticipatory grief, and respite for asymmetric care |
Note: Adverse Response is a sensitive skill — it is not therapy and not crisis care; active crises follow the escalation protocol in
shared/crisis-response.md.
Somatic & Movement Healing
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Somatic Movement | /somatic-practice | Gentle movement protocols — qigong, tai chi, yoga, walking meditation |
| Walking Meditation | /walking-meditation | Mindful movement for those who cannot sit. |
Note: Every somatic practice includes standing, seated, lying, and wheelchair modifications. Movement is within comfort, never through pain. Traditions include qigong, tai chi, yoga, kinhin, and Feldenkrais.
Sleep & Dream Healing
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep Healing | /sleep-healing | Evening wind-down, bedtime meditation, dream journaling |
| Dream Practice | /dream-practice | Dream journaling, dream incubation, lucid dreaming introduction |
Note: Sleep healing includes Asclepian dream temples, Tibetan dream yoga, TCM organ clock, and Ayurvedic dinacharya traditions. The screen paradox (device-delivered sleep guidance) is addressed honestly in every protocol.
Nature-Based Healing
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Nature Healing | /nature-healing | Shinrin-yoku, earthing, garden therapy, Five Element observation |
Note: 60+ forest bathing studies support this practice. Urban and indoor alternatives are always available — never as "lesser" options. Environmental privilege is acknowledged explicitly.
Water & Hydrotherapy
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Water Healing | /water-healing | Contrast therapy, Kneipp method, ritual bathing education |
Note: Extends the existing cold exposure skill into warm water, contrast therapy, and cultural context. Drowning and cardiac risk warnings are non-negotiable in every protocol.
Grief & Bereavement Healing
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Grief Healing | /grief-healing | Grief-informed practices across mourning traditions |
Note: Grief content carries the highest psychological sensitivity. Every practice includes crisis resources, minimum three exit ramps, and suicidal ideation screening. Jewish mourning, Buddhist impermanence, Dia de los Muertos, and Celtic keening traditions are represented.
Expressive & Creative Healing
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Expressive Healing | /expressive-healing | Pennebaker writing, bibliotherapy, art-as-process |
| Healing Journaling | /healing-journaling | Extended journaling protocols beyond simple prompts. |
Note: Supported by 200+ studies on expressive writing. Privacy receives the strongest protections of any content type. No artistic skill required. Navajo sand painting is a closed practice — referenced but never taught.
Community & Relational Healing
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Community Healing | /community-healing | Healing circles, talking circles, Sangha, Quaker meeting |
| Relational Practice | /relational-practice | Dyadic healing practices for relationships (distinct from Grinberg resonance pairing) |
Note: All group practices require trained facilitation. Consent frameworks, confidentiality agreements, and power dynamic awareness are built into every protocol. Traditions include Mussar, Sangha, Ubuntu, and 12-Step.
Contemplative Inquiry
| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Contemplative Inquiry | /contemplative-inquiry | Zen koan, Advaitic self-inquiry, Socratic questioning, Ignatian Examen |
Note: Extends language awareness into deeper investigation. Progressive levels from structured reflection to silent investigation. Dzogchen is noted as a closed tradition (reference only, never taught).

| Skill | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| PNI Research | /pni-research | Mind-body-immune science bridging traditions and biology |
| PNI Mapping | /pni-mapping | Map specific traditional practices to their PNI pathways |
Note: PNI strengthens the evidence base for all other skills by mapping traditional healing claims to documented biological pathways (HPA axis, vagal tone, telomeres, placebo mechanisms, wound healing).
Safety Infrastructure (P0)
| Resource | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Safety Infrastructure | Crisis response, contraindications, outcome measurement, practice pathways |
Note: The safety layer underpinning every skill. Includes the contraindication database, crisis response protocols, outcome measurement framework, and cross-skill integration pathways.
