empathetic-validation-and-active-listening

Use this skill when a user requires emotional support, feels distressed, or needs an expert to help them collaboratively make sense of a complex personal situation (like medical symptoms or life challenges) before jumping to solutions. It is triggered by requests involving emotional venting, counseling needs, or diagnostic confusion where the user might say 'I'm upset,' 'why do I feel this way,' 'can you make sense of these symptoms?', or 'help me figure out what's wrong.' Everyday examples include: 'I'm so stressed about my job loss,' 'help me understand my anxiety about public speaking,' and 'I've been feeling weird lately, why do my test results look like this?'
