Does this skill track my progress over time?

Yes, it maintains a rating history for every life area, allowing you to see how your self-assessment in areas like health or career changes over multiple reviews.

Where is my profile data stored?

The skill saves your data locally at ~/exoselfai/docs/user-profile.json. It also maintains a draft file so you can resume long interviews later.

What is the 8760 Hours methodology?

It is a structured framework for auditing all areas of your life (the 8,760 hours in a year) to align your daily time and habits with your long-term values and goals.

Can I update specific parts of my profile without a full interview?

Yes, the skill includes an 'Update Mode' that allows you to review and revise specific life areas, update goals, or change your yearly theme without starting over.

Conducts structured life inventory interviews to build a comprehensive personal profile for AI-guided goal tracking and productivity.

This skill facilitates a deep, AI-guided interview based on the 8760 Hours methodology to create a structured 'exoself' profile. It guides users through twelve distinct life areas—ranging from career and finances to health and adventure—to capture present reality, identify bottlenecks using Hamming questions, and set specific yearly goals. The resulting machine-readable JSON profile provides persistent context for Claude, allowing it to better understand your habits, strengths, and long-term objectives across all your projects.
