Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned wondelai/skills at c172996495.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

influence-psychology

What it does

This skill equips AI agents with advanced psychological frameworks to analyze human behavior and tailor communication strategies effectively. It enables agents to navigate complex social dynamics by applying principles of persuasion, empathy, and cognitive bias mitigation in real-time interactions.

When to use it

  • Negotiation scenarios: To structure arguments that align with the counterpart's underlying motivations and decision-making triggers.
  • Customer support escalation: To de-escalate tense situations by identifying emotional states and responding with calibrated empathy.
  • Recruitment interviews: To assess candidate fit beyond surface-level answers by interpreting non-verbal cues and response patterns.
  • Leadership coaching: To provide feedback that resonates with the individual's psychological profile, increasing the likelihood of behavioral change.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes user input for emotional tone and cognitive biases.
  • Generates responses leveraging specific psychological principles like reciprocity or social proof.
  • Adapts communication style based on inferred personality traits or situational context.
  • Identifies potential resistance points in a conversation before they escalate.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this email from a skeptical stakeholder and draft a reply that addresses their hidden concerns using influence psychology."
  • "Simulate a negotiation where I need to convince a team to adopt a new workflow; apply psychological triggers to build consensus."
  • "How would you rephrase this harsh performance review to maximize acceptance while maintaining accountability, based on the recipient's likely psychological profile?"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have sufficient context about the user or situation, as accurate psychological analysis relies heavily on specific details. Avoid over-reliance on these techniques in highly regulated environments where ethical boundaries regarding manipulation must be strictly observed.
