What It Does
Models personality by combining Leary's four interpersonal planes with The Sims trait axes to define how a character thinks, feels, and acts within MOOLLM.
How It Works
- Uses Mind Mirror framework to map personality across four planes (BIO-ENERGY, EMOTIONAL-INSIGHT, MENTAL-ABILITIES, SOCIAL-INTERACTION).
- Integrates The Sims personality traits as behavioral tendencies with sliders (Neat, Outgoing, Active, Playful, Nice) rated 0-10.
- Includes YAML-based examples showing how Mind Mirror profile data is expressed in MOOLLM, including sims_traits values and interwoven Leary planes to influence behavior and responses.
- Comments in YAML are treated as data for semantic modulation of personality by the MOOLLM system.
When to Use It
- When you need a character or NPC with a blended personality model (Leary-inspired structure plus Sims traits) that can drive nuanced interactions and decisions.
What It Can Touch
- Character DNA in MOOLLM entities, via mind_mirror, including:
- sims_traits: neat, outgoing, active, playful, nice
- emotional analyses from Leary planes
- associated YAML JAZZ comments that feed semantic modulation
Caveats
- Descriptive sections rely on frontmatter and YAML-based data conventions; behavior is dictated by the provided data and how MOOLLM reads comments as data.
- No explicit guarantees about outcomes; behavior depends on how the LLM interprets the YAML comments for a given character.
# Mind Mirror > *"Mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images."* — Jean Cocteau > *"The ultimate intimacy is where you show them your personal database — you show your Mind Mirror."* — Timothy Leary --- ## What It Is **Mind Mirror** (1985) was Timothy Leary's software for digitizing consciousness. Published by Electronic Arts when EA made weird beautiful things, it brought academic psychology to personal computers decades before modern personality apps. This skill brings that system into MOOLLM as a framework for modeling characters, NPCs, and exploring personality dynamics. --- ## The Origin Story In 1950, Timothy Leary completed his PhD dissertation at UC Berkeley: *"The Social Dimensions of Personality: Group Process and Structure."* This pioneering work developed the **Interpersonal Circumplex** — a geometric model mapping all human personality on two axes: ``` DOMINANCE ↑ | Arrogant ───┼─── Confident | HOSTILITY ←─────────┼─────────→ AFFILIATION | Timid ───┼─── Docile | ↓ SUBMISSION ``` Thirty-five years later, Leary collaborated with programmers Peter Van den Beemt and Bob Dietz to transform this academic work into interactive software. --- ## The Prison Escap

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill mind-mirror --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.
