Skill index and overview — lists all available NeuroSkill skills, tools, and explains how skill loading works.
NeuroSkill activity tracking — file interactions, terminal commands, focus sessions, meetings, clipboard, productivity scoring, weekly digest, brain awareness, and multi-monitor awareness. Tracks files, terminal commands (50+ categories), dev loops, zone switches, EEG-correlated struggle prediction, and task type detection. Use when asking about coding activity, file history, productivity, meetings, terminal usage, dev workflow, or brain state.
NeuroSkill Do Not Disturb automation — EEG-driven focus detection that activates OS-level DND and optional grayscale display when sustained attention exceeds a threshold. Shows rolling average, sample window, and OS state. Supports force-override on/off. Use when managing focus-based DND automation, grayscale mode, or checking DND status.
Mindfulness protocols — present-moment awareness, informal mindfulness, mindful eating, mindful listening, RAIN, STOP, noting practice, and EEG-tracked mindfulness with real-time neural feedback.
NeuroSkill `label`, `search-labels`, and `interactive` commands — creating EEG text annotations, semantic vector search over labels, and cross-modal 5-layer graph search combining text, EEG similarity, and screenshot discovery with 3D visualization. Use when annotating EEG moments or searching for past states by description.
NeuroSkill built-in LLM inference server — on-device OpenAI-compatible chat with llama.cpp, model catalog management (add/download/select/delete GGUF models), vision support (mmproj), streaming WebSocket and HTTP chat, automatic tool calling (bash, read, write, edit, web_search, web_fetch), GenParams tuning, and persistent chat history. Use when managing local LLM models, chatting, or integrating with the OpenAI-compatible API.

Breath-Counting Meditation → high bar, scattered attention, low focus
Count breaths 1–10, restart on losing count. Builds sustained attention.
◈ Beginner: Start with 1–5 counts. Use say to announce each count as an anchor.
◈ Child: "Count your belly breaths like counting sheep — start over if you forget!"
◈ Breath-averse: Count heartbeats or ambient sounds instead of breaths.
🔧 API: Before: status → snapshot focus, bar, rel_theta/rel_alpha baseline, label "protocol start: breath counting" --context "focus=X, bar=X". During: poll status every 60s — report focus shifts verbally ("Focus score climbing — you're settling in"). After: status → compare to baseline, label "protocol end: breath counting" --context "focus delta, bar delta".
Single-Point Focus (Trataka) → low focus, high beta, mental restlessness
Gaze at a fixed point (candle flame, dot, object) without blinking as long as comfortable. Then close eyes and hold the afterimage.
◈ Screen-based: Use a small dot on screen if no candle available.
◈ Eye strain risk: Limit to 2–3 min, blink gently if needed.
🔧 API: Track focus and rel_alpha — alpha typically rises sharply when eyes close after gazing.
Mantra Meditation → high mental chatter, difficulty with silent practice, low relaxation
Silently repeat a word or phrase (e.g., "Om", "So Hum", personal mantra). Return to mantra when mind wanders.
◈ Secular: Use neutral words like "calm", "peace", "one", or counting.
◈ Vocalized variant: Chanting aloud activates vagal tone via laryngeal vibration (same pathway as humming).
◈ Child: Pick a favourite word — "butterfly", "sunshine" — and whisper it like a secret.
🔧 API: Before: snapshot bar, relaxation, rel_alpha. During: say the mantra softly at intervals if vocalized. Poll status at 60s — watch for rel_alpha rise and bar drop. After: label with deltas.
Open Monitoring / Choiceless Awareness → low lzc (<40), low integration, mental rigidity
Sit without a focal object. Let thoughts, sensations, and sounds arise and pass without engaging.
Raises neural complexity (LZC) and integration.
◈ Beginner bridge: Start with 2 min focused attention, then release into open monitoring.
◈ Restless: Label experiences silently ("thinking", "hearing", "feeling") to stay non-reactive.
🔧 API: Track lzc, integration, rel_alpha, rel_theta. Open monitoring raises LZC more than focused attention. Before: snapshot all. During: poll every 90s. After: compare with focused sessions to see which raises complexity more for this person.
Non-Dual Awareness → advanced meditators, high baseline focus, seeking deeper states
Rest as awareness itself — no meditator, no object, no effort. Notice the noticing.
◈ Prerequisites: Stable focused attention and open monitoring practice.
◈ Pointer: "What is aware right now? Look for the looker."
🔧 API: Watch for simultaneous high rel_alpha, high lzc, low bar, high coherence — the signature of effortless awareness. label any state shifts with context.
Visualization / Guided Imagery → stress, pre-performance anxiety, creative blocks
Mentally construct a detailed scene (beach, forest, mountain, safe place). Engage all senses.
◈ Low visualization ability: Focus on felt sense (warmth, breeze) rather than visual detail.
◈ Performance prep: Visualize successful execution of upcoming task in detail.
🔧 API: say the guided imagery script at natural pace. Poll status every 60s — track relaxation, bar, rel_alpha. After: label with subjective vividness rating.
Yoga Nidra / NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) → fatigue, low energy, need recovery without sleep
Systematic guided body rotation + intention setting while hovering between wake and sleep.
20–45 min. Distinct from progressive relaxation — uses rotation of awareness, not tensing.
◈ Short version: 10 min micro-nidra focusing on body rotation only.
◈ Insomnia: Use at bedtime — if sleep happens, that's fine.
🔧 API: dnd_set enabled:true. say body rotation cues slowly. Poll status at 120s intervals — watch for theta dominance (rel_theta > 0.3) indicating hypnagogic entry. After: label "protocol end: yoga nidra" --context "theta peak, relaxation delta". sleep command can confirm if actual sleep occurred.
Loving-Kindness (Metta) → low mood, loneliness, self-criticism, interpersonal stress
Silently direct well-wishes: "May I be happy, may I be safe, may I be healthy, may I live with ease." Expand to loved ones → neutral people → difficult people → all beings.
◈ Resistance: Start with a beloved pet or child — easier entry than self-directed kindness.
◈ Physical anchor: Place hand on heart while sending wishes.
◈ Child: "Send a warm golden light from your heart to someone you love."
🔧 API: Track valence, relaxation, faa (frontal asymmetry). Left-dominant FAA shift correlates with positive affect. label with emotional target (self/other/difficult).
Tonglen (Giving & Taking) → empathic fatigue, avoidance of difficult emotions Inhale suffering (dark, heavy); exhale relief (light, spacious). Paradoxically reduces distress by reversing avoidance. ◈ Overwhelm risk: Start with minor discomfort, not trauma. Scale gradually. ◈ Non-breath version: Visualize absorbing and transforming without breath coordination.
Gratitude Meditation → negativity bias, rumination, low valence
Bring to mind 3–5 things you're grateful for. Dwell on each — feel the gratitude in the body.
◈ Specificity matters: "The warmth of coffee this morning" > "I'm grateful for life."
🔧 API: Snapshot valence, bar before and after. label with gratitude targets for longitudinal tracking.
Body Scan Meditation → physical tension, disconnection from body, high stress_index
Systematic attention sweep from crown to toes (or vice versa). Notice sensations without changing them.
◈ Speed variants: Quick scan (3 min) for check-ins, deep scan (20 min) for full release.
◈ Difficulty feeling body: Focus on contact points (feet on floor, back on chair) first.
🔧 API: say body region cues at slow pace. Track relaxation, stress_index, bar. After: label with tension regions discovered.
Walking Meditation → restlessness, inability to sit still, post-meal sluggishness
Slow deliberate walking. Attention on: lifting, moving, placing each foot.
◈ Indoor: 10 steps forward, pause, turn, 10 steps back. Repeat.
◈ Outdoor: Add awareness of environment — sounds, air, ground texture.
◈ Stealth: Slow your normal walk by 20% and attend to feet. No one notices.
🔧 API: Motion sensors may show reduced acceleration variance. Track focus and bar.
Neurofeedback-Guided Meditation → meditators wanting objective feedback on practice quality Use real-time EEG data to guide and validate meditation depth. 🔧 API: This is the flagship meditation use case for NeuroSkill.
status → full baseline snapshot.dnd_set enabled:true — silence interruptions.focus scorelzc, integrationrelaxation, rel_alpharel_theta, consciousness indicesstatus every 60–90s. Use say for gentle audio cues:
focus drops or bar spikeslabel "meditation session" --context "style, duration, peak metrics".compare meditation sessions over time. search for neurally similar peak states. Build evidence of which style produces deepest states for this person.Alpha-Theta Crossover Training → deep meditation, creativity, integrative states
Goal: achieve alpha-theta crossover where rel_theta exceeds rel_alpha.
Historically used in neurofeedback clinics for peak performance and trauma resolution.
🔧 API: Poll status at 30s intervals. When rel_theta > rel_alpha, say "Crossover — you're in deep territory". label crossover moments. Track crossover duration across sessions.
| Duration | Structure | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 min | Single technique, no transitions | Micro-reset, beginners, acute stress |
| 10–15 min | Settle (2 min) → main practice → close (1 min) | Daily practice, moderate depth |
| 20–30 min | Settle → focused attention (5 min) → main practice → open awareness (3 min) → close | Experienced practitioners, deep work |
| 45–60 min | Full sequence: body scan → breathwork → focused → open → non-dual → integration | Retreat-style, advanced |
Transition rule: Always begin with 1–2 min of settling (feel the body, notice the breath) before any technique. Abrupt starts increase resistance.
Ending rule: Never end abruptly. Use 30–60s of "widening" — open awareness, feel the room, hear ambient sounds — before opening eyes.
