This skill implements the ancient Buddhist framework of the Five Aggregates (Skandhas) as a modern analytical tool for Claude. It allows users and agents to systematically break down experiences—such as emotional reactions, user behaviors, or difficult decisions—into form, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. By decomposing these elements, the skill helps identify the root causes of reactions, provides clarity in high-pressure situations, and facilitates a more objective approach to problem-solving, interpersonal communication, and user experience design.
