KNOWLEDGE
If-then plans
An if-then plan turns a goal into a specific condition and response.
KNOWLEDGE UNIVERSE
Habits and action
First steps, cues, if-then plans, environment, routines and values - small mechanisms instead of big declarations.
What you can do
- write: if X, then Y
- choose one trigger
- define a 2-minute response
- review after 7 days
TOPIC DEPTH / SELF-OBSERVATION
From knowledge to self-observation
This layer organizes the existing topic rules. It does not add new claims or diagnoses.
How to observe
The minimum needed for meaningful self-observation.
Topic boundaries
- the bot does not assume a plan alone is always enough
- do not create too many plans at once
Data limitations
- Conclusions from a small number of check-ins are hypotheses.
- User self-report may be incomplete or variable.
- The app observes patterns; it does not confirm causes.
Interpretation limitations
- Do not use this for diagnosis or treatment.
- Do not promise an outcome or health improvement.
- Do not strengthen wording beyond the current level of source verification.
- If the user describes a health risk or crisis, the safety router takes priority.
Source limitations
- Sources require manual verification before strong claims are allowed.
Use for education and self-observation, not diagnosis or treatment.
Suggest a small safe step and encourage observation rather than a radical change.
EVIDENCE LAYER
Sources and limitations
Sources and conclusions require cautious language. This is education and self-observation, not diagnosis or treatment.
A meta-analysis of the effectiveness of implementation intentions for pro-environmental behavior adoption
Scope: This source concerns implementation intentions in pro-environmental behavior. Do not use it alone as general evidence for if-then plans across all behavior domains.
Limitations: Use as educational background. Do not create diagnoses or medical recommendations.
Open source ↗Impact of implementation intentions on physical activity practice in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Scope: The source concerns physical activity in adults; the scope of any conclusion should remain limited to that domain.
Limitations: Use as educational background. Do not create diagnoses or medical recommendations.
