# Skill: Reafference & Corollary Discharge (von Holst Neuroscience) **Category**: Behavioral Verification | Neural Mechanism Implementation **Level**: Advanced (Requires understanding of: reafference theory, signal processing, corollary discharge) **Status**: ✓ COMPLETE & OPERATIONAL **Trit Assignment**: +1 (PLUS) - Active threat detection & signal amplification **Propagates To**: codex, claude, amp, cursor, copilot --- ## Overview Implements **von Holst's reafference theory** (1950) - a breakthrough neuroscience principle describing how organisms distinguish self-generated signals from external threats. **Core Principle**: > "The brain doesn't passively receive sensory feedback. It actively PREDICTS what feedback should occur and CANCELS it out. Only MISMATCHES between prediction and sensation reach conscious attention." This skill applies this mechanism to interaction analysis, creating a complete: 1. **Efference Copy** (prediction) generation system 2. **Sensory Reafference** (observation) matching 3. **Comparator** (error signal) computation 4. **Corollary Discharge** (suppression/amplification) mechanism --- ## Key Features ### 1. Efference Copy Generation - **Input**: Interac

What does the reafference-corollary-discharge skill do?
Von Holst reafference and corollary discharge for behavioral verification and signal processing
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill reafference-corollary-discharge --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.
