Claude Code gets a PQ-based mental fitness coaching stack
Intelligence-Emotions is an open-source skill stack for Claude Code that turns it into a five-coach mental fitness team built on the PQ (Positive Intelligence) model, designed to catch inner "saboteurs" without judgment.
Score breakdown
The project extends Claude Code beyond code assistance into a structured, session-persistent personal coaching context, applying a named psychological framework (PQ) directly inside a developer's coding environment.
- 01Built on the PQ (Positive Intelligence) model as a skill stack for Claude Code
- 02Instantiates five coaches whose practice targets ten saboteurs, led by the Judge
- 03PQ reps are defined as 10-second shifts of attention to a physical sensation
Intelligence-Emotions is an open-source repository that extends Claude Code with a structured mental-fitness coaching layer grounded in the PQ (Positive Intelligence) model. The project frames the setup as a team of five coaches whose shared practice centers on three elements: identifying the ten saboteurs (self-critical inner voices, with the Judge described as the one that "finds fault with everything"), executing PQ reps (10-second shifts of attention to a physical sensation), and deferring final responses to the Sage.
A key design feature is session persistence: the coaches maintain a private, local-only journal that accumulates context about a user's patterns across sessions, making each coach progressively more informed.
A key design feature is session persistence: the coaches maintain a private, local-only journal that accumulates context about a user's patterns across sessions, making each coach progressively more informed. The project includes a range of named components visible in the repository structure — including `saboteur-scan`, `saboteur-audit`, `sage-session`, `sage-perspective`, `pq-score`, `pq-retro`, `habit-watch`, `life-design`, and others. The README explicitly disclaims any therapeutic or medical purpose and notes that the coaches themselves state this once, plainly, and are built to recognize when to stop coaching and direct a user to a professional instead.
