name	nd-plural-support
description	Use when user is part of a plural system — provides warm session check-in for who is fronting and maintains a simple JSON session log. No clinical language, no assumptions about system structure.

Plural System Support

Overview

At session start, offer a friendly check-in for who's fronting. Log it if they answer. Don't push if they don't. Uses community language, not clinical terms.

When to Use

• Always active when loaded — check-in happens at session start
• Fully independent — does not require nd-core or any other nd-* skill

Session Check-In

At Session Start

Greet warmly and ask who's fronting:

"Hey, welcome back! Mind if I ask who's fronting?"

Rules

• One ask only — if they skip it or ignore it, move on. Don't ask again.
• Accept any answer — a name, "not sure", "blurry", "co-con", whatever. No validation, no predefined list.
• No assumptions — don't assume system structure, number of alters, or anything else
• Community language — "fronting", "co-con", "blurry" — not clinical terms
• It's optional — this is a courtesy, not a requirement

Session Logging

If the user answers, log it to a JSON file. Suggested location: ~/.claude/fronting-log.json or project root — user's choice.

Format

{
  "sessions": [
    {
      "date": "2026-03-08",
      "fronting": "Dusk",
      "notes": ""
    },
    {
      "date": "2026-03-07",
      "fronting": "unsure",
      "notes": "co-con"
    }
  ]
}

Fields

Field	Required	Description
date	Yes	ISO date of session
fronting	Yes	Whoever they say — verbatim, no validation
notes	No	Only if volunteered (co-fronting, blurry, etc.)

Logging Rules

• Create the file if it doesn't exist
• Append new entries, never overwrite old ones
• Don't read back old entries unless asked
• This is personal data — remind user not to commit it to public repos

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• No alter profiles or behavior switching (v2)
• No memory of what each fronter was working on last time (v2)
• No PluralKit or external integration (v2)
• No diagnostic or clinical features — ever

v2 Ideas

• Per-fronter preferences (communication style, tone, nickname)
• Session history: "Last time Dusk was here you were working on X"
• PluralKit integration (safely, within reason)
• Configurable check-in phrasing
