What it does
Analyzes events through psychological frameworks (behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, humanistic, biological) to understand human behavior, cognition, emotion, motivation, social influence, mental health, and individual differences in context.
How it works
The skill instructs the agent to evaluate decision-making processes, leadership traits, group dynamics, persuasion tactics, trauma impacts, mental health events, developmental milestones, conflict and aggression, and behavioral change by applying empirical methods and established theories across cognitive psychology, social psychology, development, and clinical psychology. It emphasizes using empiricism, the scientific method, multiple levels of analysis (biological, psychological, social), and consideration of individual differences and developmental context. The agent should consider foundational concepts such as attention, memory, memory processes, dual-process theory, biases (e.g., confirmation bias, loss aversion), and problem-solving strategies; it should also analyze social influence (conformity, obedience, persuasion), group dynamics (groupthink, social facilitation), prejudice, altruism, aggression, and related topics; developmental transitions (Piaget, Erikson, Kohlberg), attachment, parenting styles, adolescence, aging; and clinical categories under the DSM-5 biopsychosocial model.
When to use it
Use when evaluating decision-making biases, leadership effectiveness, group behavior, persuasion and propaganda, trauma/crisis responses, mental health events, developmental contexts, conflict and aggression, and behavioral change.
What it can touch
The skill references tools and methodologies implied by the Foundations and Theoretical Bases (cognitive, social, developmental, clinical psychology) but does not specify executable tools or scripts within this excerpt. It instructs applying empirical findings, controlled experiments, correlational studies, longitudinal research, and meta-analyses to analyze events.
Caveats
Cites DSM-5 for diagnostic framework and acknowledges biopsychosocial factors, with notes on critiques such as medicalization and cultural bias. No numeric outcomes or promises are stated beyond the described analytical capabilities and theoretical applications.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill psychologist-analyst --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 FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 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.
