What it does

When you ask for a DHDNA or thinking-pattern profile of a piece of writing, the agent reads only the text you point it to and describes observable reasoning and rhetorical choices across 12 dimensions, such as analytical depth, ethical reasoning, and metacognition. It cites specific quotes, marks evidence as high, medium, or low confidence, and uses N/A where evidence is missing. The skill explicitly frames the results as exploratory descriptions of one sample, not validated psychological traits, intelligence, or identity.

Great for

  • Writers curious how their text reads in terms of reasoning, audience awareness, and uncertainty
  • People studying or comparing argumentative and rhetorical style across a set of documents
  • Anyone who already uses the DHDNA framework and wants a structured text annotation

Skip it if

  • Psychological assessment, diagnosis, or hiring decisions, since the skill states its scores are not validated psychometric measures
  • Judging someone's intelligence, honesty, or emotional state from a few messages, because the skill itself warns against these inferences
  • Analysing texts you have not been given explicitly, since the skill asks the agent to use only the designated sample

Try asking

  • “Profile the reasoning style in the essay I pasted below using the DHDNA dimensions, with quotes as evidence”
  • “Compare the metacognition and ethical reasoning in these two blog posts and show the evidence for each”
  • “Give me a qualitative DHDNA annotation of the conversation turns I specify, noting which dimensions have no evidence”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name the exact text or turns to analyse so the agent does not expand into unrelated files or earlier conversations
  • Ask for qualitative observations first; request numeric 1-10 scores only if you need them, and remember they are ordinal local judgments
  • Give context such as genre, purpose, language, and whether AI or an editor helped write the text, since these change the results
