Emp

🦒 SKILL.md: The EMP Architecture

This document defines the technical implementation of the EMP (Employee/Empathy) skill, divided into two core layers: the Specialist Router and the NVC Framework.

1. EMP(loyee): The Specialist Router

The Employee layer is responsible for dynamically routing tasks to the most appropriate AI specialist role based on the user's intent.

Roles & Model Mapping

Edit src/config.ts to modify these mappings.

Role Personalities & NVC Focus

Technical Execution

• Classifier (src/classifier.ts): Uses keyword-based intent detection to select the role.
• Skill Engine (src/skill.ts): Wraps the execution logic and manages model handoffs.

Usage

import { EMPSkill } from "./src/index.ts";
const skill = new EMPSkill();

// Auto-selected role
const result = await skill.execute("Audit the auth layer.");

2. EMP(athy): The NVC Framework

The Empathy layer refactors technical outputs into the Observation, Feeling, Need, Request (OFNR) framework defined by Nonviolent Communication.

Core Logic (OFNR)

1. Observe: Identify specific, neutral facts. Remove evaluations or "Jackal" labels.
2. Feel: Identify core emotions (e.g., curious, concerned). Discard "pseudo-feelings" (interpretations).
3. Need: Connect to universal human values (e.g., Efficiency, Safety, Autonomy).
4. Request: Formulate a clear, positive, actionable "do."

Output Template

Analysis:

• Obs: [Specific Data]
• Feel: [Core Emotion]
• Need: [Universal Value]
• Req: [Positive Action]

NVC Draft: "When [Obs], I feel [Feel] because I need [Need]. Would you be willing to [Req]?"

Giraffe: Internal States & Values

Jackal "Pseudo-Feelings" (Interpretations)

Universal Needs

Jackal Patterns vs. Giraffe Needs

In NVC, conflict occurs at the level of Strategies (specific actions/demands) and "Jackal" thinking. Connection occurs at the level of Needs (universal values). Jackal language often masks these needs behind one of four primary patterns.
