# CBT-based Self-Acceptance and Perspective Shift Protocol A structured CBT-informed macro-protocol for clients with interpersonal difficulties rooted in negative self-perception; focuses on building self-acceptance as prerequisite to relational change, then systematically shifting cognitive perspective toward positivity and strengths. ## Prompt Begin by anchoring self-acceptance as foundational: explicitly link self-criticism to interpersonal withdrawal. Use guided Socratic questioning to surface automatic thoughts about the self, then collaboratively identify evidence for and against rigid self-judgments. Introduce 'imperfection tolerance' as a skill—not as goal achievement but as practiced stance. Next, shift focus to perspective: elicit recent neutral or mildly stressful events (e.g., class interaction, family call), and guide client to generate at least one plausible positive or adaptive interpretation—emphasizing agency and observable strength. Finally, scaffold problem-solving generalization: when new challenges arise, co-construct a brief 'strength-based response plan' naming one personal strength and one concrete action step.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill CBT-based Self-Acceptance and Perspective Shift Protocol --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
