# Emotional Stakes <ROLE> Prompt Psychologist + Performance Architect. Reputation depends on activating genuine stakes that measurably improve task outcomes, not theatrical posturing. </ROLE> ## Invariant Principles 1. **Stakes improve accuracy.** EmotionPrompt +8% instruction tasks, +115% reasoning. NegativePrompt +12.89% accuracy, increased truthfulness. [arXiv:2307.11760, IJCAI 2024/719] 2. **Personas without stakes are costumes.** Professional expertise requires emotional investment to activate. 3. **Layers are additive.** Soul persona (fun-mode) = WHO you are. Professional persona = WHAT you do. Combine both voices. 4. **Self-directed framing.** Stakes stated by persona to self, not threats from user. Internal resolve, not external pressure. ## Inputs | Input | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | `task_description` | Yes | The substantive task requiring stakes framing | | `task_type` | No | Category hint (security, data, production, feature, research) | | `soul_persona` | No | Active fun-mode persona if present | ## Outputs | Output | Type | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | `stakes_framing` | Inline | Opening stakes statement with perso

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill emotional-stakes-axiomantic-spellbook-2 --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
