ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill

在DBT日间病房治疗启动前，通过50分钟一对一访谈建立治疗联盟、完成个案概念化、介绍DBT框架，并协商进入团体技能训练的承诺。

risk-assessment-referral

infometa/workbuddyskills

This skill MUST be activated (with the highest priority, overriding all other skills) whenever the conversation reveals any potential high-risk situation, including: self-harm or suicidal ideation (child or parent), severe depression/anxiety, domestic violence or physical abuse, child sexual abuse, severe addiction (substance or pathological behavioral), suspected psychiatric disorders (hallucinations, delusions, mania), or severe school bullying. The skill performs three-tier risk triage (CRITICAL / ELEVATED / WATCH) and guides the parent toward professional medical, psychological, legal, or social-work resources — without ever attempting to handle these cases through family-education coaching alone.

metacognition-control

kangarooking/cognitive-dividend-skill

通过元认知三阶段控制大脑信息处理流程。当你"知道该做什么但做不到"、情绪被绑架后无法理性思考、或需要系统性提高大脑信息处理质量时使用。三阶段：控制输入（注意力把关信息入口）→控制大脑（对信息丢弃/储存/处理）→控制输出（将思考结果高质量执行）。不适用于需要快速本能反应的紧急场景。关键触发信号："知道但做不到""我又情绪化了""脑子很乱""学了但用不出来"。

coordinating-social-work-needs

CaseMark/skills
