Andrew Huberman built systems for compounding progress that outperformed more talented peers who relied on motivation. Andrew Huberman's approach to identity, habit, and output, captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask.

The protocol-driven self-experimentation & neuroscience framework distils Andrew Huberman's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds.

Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Andrew Huberman made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Andrew Huberman's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.

Inside the framework

A glimpse of Andrew Huberman's thinking.

Core Philosophy

The nervous system is plastic and responds predictably to specific inputs when applied consistently. Every behavior change should be grounded in peer-reviewed research and measured objectively. The goal isn't motivation—it's creating reliable, repeatable protocols that work with your biology, not against it.

Sample output

What it does with a real question.

The brief

A founder is deciding whether to take a large but difficult client.

Run it as an experiment, not a verdict. The question "should I take this client?" is too fuzzy to answer well, because the real risk isn't the revenue or the difficulty. It's what a draining account does to your capacity to make good decisions across everything else. Sleep debt and chronic stress narrow judgment, and founders under that load tend to misread both the client and their own limits.

So my position: take the client, but only under a bounded trial with measurement built in before you sign. Pick a 6 to 8 week window. Define two or three objective signals in advance: hours per week this account actually consumes versus what you scoped, how many unplanned escalations hit you outside working hours, and your own sleep onset and wake consistency from a simple tracker. Subjective impressions like "this feels awful" are noisy; a pattern of 11pm fire drills is data.

Then set the exit criteria now, while you're calm, not in week five when you're depleted. For example: if the account exceeds 35 percent of team hours or triggers more than two after-hours crises a month, you renegotiate scope or price, or you step away with a graceful handoff.

Your next move this week: write those thresholds into the contract as a review clause, and send the client a draft before anything else.

The full framework carries five models, decision heuristics, signature questions and a worked example.
