Bdi Mental States

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Asks to model agent mental states
• Implement BDI architecture
• Create belief-desire-intention models
• Transform RDF to beliefs

Example prompts

• “model agent mental states”
• “implement BDI architecture”
• “create belief-desire-intention models”
• “/bdi-mental-states”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Model world states as configurations independent of agent perspectives, providing referential substrate for mental states.
2. 2Distinguish endurants (persistent mental states) from perdurants (temporal mental processes), aligning with DOLCE ontology.
3. 3Treat goals as descriptions rather than mental states, maintaining separation between cognitive and planning layers.
4. 4Use hasPart relations for meronymic structures enabling selective belief updates.
5. 5Associate every mental entity with temporal constructs via atTime or hasValidity.
6. 6Use bidirectional property pairs (motivates/isMotivatedBy, generates/isGeneratedBy) for flexible querying.
7. 7Link mental entities to Justification instances for explainability and trust.
8. 8Implement T2B2T through: (1) translate RDF to beliefs, (2) execute BDI reasoning, (3) project mental states back to RDF.
9. 9Define existential restrictions on mental processes (e.g., BeliefProcess ⊑ ∃generates.Belief).
10. 10Reuse established ODPs (EventCore, Situation, TimeIndexedSituation, BasicPlan, Provenance) for interoperability.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1c7bdea. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are turtle, sparql, python and prolog).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bdi Mental States loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 701 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~80

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
