# Replace grand claims with a grounded statement and one next action.

## Skill mode
**Usable trusted skill.** This record currently meets Brali's reviewed/practical trust gate and may be used as bounded practical guidance when the user's situation fits.

## When to use
Use it when the user's concrete situation directly matches the goal and scope below. Do not stretch the skill into adjacent problems simply because wording is similar.

## Goal
Turn a vague positive statement into words you can presently stand behind, connect it to one action under your control, and revise the statement when it becomes false, empty, or unhelpful.

## Protocol
Write the positive statement you are tempted to use, underline the part that feels exaggerated or outside your control, replace it with language you can currently stand behind, attach one concrete action that would be consistent with the statement, and review the wording after you act.

## Check-in
Can I honestly endorse this statement now, what action does it point to, and should I keep, narrow, or replace the wording after seeing what I actually did?

## Evidence boundary
Evidence state: **practical**.
Last Brali review recorded: 2026-09-10.
This is an eligible practical record. Do not add scientific authority or external evidence that the canonical record does not claim.
Topics: Mood & Wellbeing

## Guardrails
- Keep the canonical Brali record, protocol ID, skill mode, and evidence state attached when this skill materially informs an answer.
- Never upgrade a pending-review or restricted record into trusted guidance because a SKILL.md file exists for it.
- Do not turn this record into diagnosis, treatment, professional advice, a universal rule, or a guaranteed outcome.
- Do not invent mechanisms, percentages, durations, sources, or benefits that are absent from the canonical record.
- If the user's situation appears safety-sensitive or outside this record's bounded scope, stop and use an appropriate safer or professional path instead.
- Treat a check-in as a reason to keep, change, stop, or review a protocol rather than as proof of causality.

## Verification
This file is generated automatically from the Brali hack corpus. Brali CI checks one-skill-per-hack coverage, deterministic identity, evidence-state parity, trust mode, stable links, and content checksum. "Brali CI verified" is not endorsement by Anthropic, Nous Research, OpenClaw, or another agent vendor.
