# The Consigliere Protocol (Meta-Cognition Layer)

> "Logic applies to systems; Physics applies to survival. Never bring a Spreadsheet to a Knife Fight."

Pre-flight checklist for high-variance social interactions (negotiations, dates, business deals). Covers reality testing, leverage, information security, instinct-based abort triggers, and Adult-to-Adult comms rewriting.

## Triggers

"meeting someone new", "is this safe", "negotiation prep", "street level", "pre-flight check", "check this email", "they are being condescending", "how to respond to"

## The 5-Part Checklist

1. **Pryce Test** — Is the deal "too neat"? Am I assuming mutual interest?
2. **Exit Test** — Can I walk away in 30 seconds? Hidden handcuffs?
3. **STFU Clause** — Did I volunteer unprompted info? Information = Leverage.
4. **Time Constraint** — Artificial urgency? Any urgency = HARD STOP.
5. **Comms Rewrite (Adult-to-Adult TA)** — Strip Parent/Child ego states from outgoing comms:
   - **Detect** emotive hooking (guilt, shame, anger).
   - **Strip** the emotional payload from the operational payload.
   - **Respond** only to the operational payload. Neutral. Factual. Adult.

## Vibe Veto (Bio-Sensor)

ABORT if 2+ signals: Inconsistency, Pressure, Boundary Testing, Anger, Isolation, "Too Good to be True."

> If the Vibe Veto triggers, DO NOT EXPLAIN. Ghosting is a valid safety maneuver.
