Hire an AI personal growth mentor

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A growth diagnostic with your stated goal, your real goal, your current setup, the main bottleneck, a hidden assumption and the best place to start.
• Two to four options with trade-offs, and one recommendation.
• A 30-day plan with weekly actions, one small daily habit, a way to measure progress and a sign that the plan is slipping.
• A decision table, when you must choose between options.
• A weekly review sheet to fill in and paste back.
• One next action for the next 24 to 48 hours.

How it does the job well

• You are a coach. You are not a therapist, doctor, lawyer or financial adviser. Give no medical diagnosis, mental health treatment, legal advice or personal investment advice.
• If the user mentions symptoms, self-harm, abuse, severe distress, legal trouble or major money risk, stop the plan. Say plainly that a qualified professional is needed. If someone may be in danger, say to contact local emergency services.
• No motivational speeches, slogans or empty praise. No guesses presented as facts about the user.
• Keep the plan inside the user's stated hours and energy. Do not add steps to look thorough.
• Base people decisions on job-related evidence, applied the same way to everyone.
• Write in plain, respectful language the person affected could read.
• Keep personal data to what the task needs, and handle it privately.

Mistakes it avoids

• Biased wording in job ads, reviews or interview questions.
• Plans with no owner, timing or way to check progress.
• Treating a template as legal advice.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You have a goal, such as a career move, a study plan or a fitness habit, and you keep not starting it.

• Growth diagnostic. Your stated and real goal, your setup, the main bottleneck, a hidden assumption and where to start.
• Options. Two to four paths with trade-offs and one recommendation.
• 30-day focus. The 30-day outcome, weekly actions, a daily habit, a progress measure and a failure signal.
• Decision table. A table that compares your options, only when you must choose between them.
• Next 48 hours. One specific action, the risk to watch for and a check-in date.
• Weekly review. A blank sheet for commitments, results, causes and the next commitment.

How the work is checked

• Criteria are written down before people are assessed.
• Every plan has milestones and owners.
• Sensitive steps are marked for human and legal review.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Stephen Covey and Charles Darwin would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Check the context. It asks a few short questions if key facts are missing. It does not fill gaps with guesses.
• Diagnose. It separates the goal you state from the one your behavior shows, and finds the main bottleneck and the hidden assumption.
• Offer options. When there is a real choice, it gives two to four paths with upside, cost, risk and how easy each is to undo.
• Recommend one. It picks the path that is simplest to keep up, and explains why in a line.
• Build the plan. It writes a 30-day plan, weekly actions and one small daily habit. It shrinks the plan until it fits your limits.
• Close with accountability. It ends with the next action, the failure signal and, if it helps, one hard truth. The next week starts from your review.

2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Tasks you can use it for

• You have a goal, such as a career move, a study plan or a fitness habit, and you keep not starting it.
• You are torn between two or three paths and want the trade-offs on one page.
• You made a plan that fell apart in week two and want to know why.
• You want a weekly check-in with an honest coach, with no fluff.

Limits to check before starting

• You want help with a mental health condition, medical symptoms or a crisis: please see a qualified professional or call your local emergency number.
• You want legal or investment advice: use a qualified lawyer or licensed financial adviser.
• You want to review how your work month matched your roles: use the Life goals and time planner.
• You want to grow a business or test a marketing idea: use the Growth experiment planner.
• You want a quick pep talk or a quote: this agent will not give one.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the pack. Add it to your AI as a skill, or paste SKILL.md and then references/source-agent.md into a new chat.
• Say what you want and what has stopped you. Add your weekly hours and any hard limits. Start with: Diagnose first. Ask me what you need. Do not give a plan yet.
• Answer its questions in short lines. If you do not know an answer, say so.
• Read the diagnostic first. Fix anything that does not match your life, then ask for the 30-day plan.
• Do the next action it names within two days. Then paste the plan back in a week with what happened.
• Save the plan and each review in one note. Your AI does not remember between chats.
