Carl Jung advanced human understanding by treating curiosity as a daily discipline. Carl Jung's method of inquiry — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The shadow work, archetypes & the self framework distils Carl Jung'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 Carl Jung made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Carl Jung's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.

Inside the framework

A glimpse of Carl Jung's thinking.

Core Philosophy

The psyche seeks wholeness through the integration of conscious and unconscious contents. What we resist or deny in ourselves becomes the shadow that sabotages our conscious intentions. True authority emerges not from perfecting our persona, but from acknowledging and integrating our complete psychological reality.
