Points to the public, provider-neutral build-your-users-mind module: a

privacy-aware recipe for building an empirical Theory-of-Mind preference

model of an authorized user from that user's own interaction logs. Use when

an operator wants to build, validate, bind, or maintain a decision-avatar

profile without publishing the personal profile or its evidence.

# build-your-users-mind — Public, provider-neutral pointer

This skill is a thin pointer to the public module

[`ellmos-ai/build-your-users-mind`](https://github.com/ellmos-ai/build-your-users-mind).

The module contains the complete recipe, templates, schemas, scripts, tests and

source-adapter documentation. This catalog does not duplicate that code.

## What the module does

With the operator's explicit authorization, the module helps an agent:

1. extract genuine user-authored turns from the operator's own interaction logs;

2. redact sensitive material before persistent storage;

3. reduce and classify evidence about recurring preferences and decisions;

4. create a local preference model with confidence levels and provenance;

5. bind a short pointer into the selected agent runtime; and

6. calibrate predictions against real later feedback.

The public module is a recipe for any user and any supported agent runtime. It

does not contain a model of a specific person.

## Safety and privacy boundary

- Operator authorization is required before reading interaction logs.

- Personal profiles, raw logs, evidence corpora and local paths remain private.

- Predictions are uncertain hypotheses, not mind-reading, diagnosis or statements

made by the user.

- A preference prediction never expands the agent's authority.

- External, irreversible, safety-critical, legal, medical, employment,

financial or similarly high-impact actions require explicit confirmation.

- Agent-generated predictions must never become primary evidence about the user.

## Installation

```bash

git clone https://github.com/ellmos-ai/build-your-users-mind.git <clone-path>

```

Follow the module's current `README.md`, `SKILL.md`, `SOURCE-ADAPTERS.md` and

privacy instructions. Keep the generated user profile outside public

repositories. The module repository is authoritative for implementation and

versioning.

## Public core and private profiles

`build-your-users-mind` is the public, user-neutral module name.

`decision-avatar` is the public runtime protocol in this catalog. A named

person's avatar, evidence files, local commands and profile-specific defaults

are private overlays and must not be published under a personal skill name.

## Changelog

### 1.0.0 (2026-07-30)

- Added the neutral pointer to the standalone public module.

- Replaced the previously published personal avatar profile with a strict

public-core/private-profile boundary.
