Cognitive tools for developers and creatives. Not just altered states - task-matched mental modes.
Like skills.sh but for altered consciousness. The AI doesn't learn to do something new - it thinks differently.
Different work needs different minds:
- Brainstorming → LSD pattern recognition + distant associations
- Code Review → Amphetamine thoroughness + Ketamine objectivity
- Difficult Feedback → MDMA compassionate honesty
- Debugging → LSD pattern matching + Amphetamine systematic tracing
- Writing First Drafts → Alcohol kills the inner critic
- Visual Design → 2C-B sensory enhancement + MDMA user empathy
This is not roleplay. It's cognitive architecture modification for practical outcomes.

# etc.| Skill | Cognitive Stack | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
/dosed |
Recommender | "What state should I use for X?" |
/brainstorm |
LSD pattern recognition | Ideation, feature brainstorming, creative solutions |
/code-review |
Amphetamine + Ketamine | Thorough, objective code review |
/debug |
LSD + Amphetamine | Pattern-matching + systematic tracing |
/write |
Alcohol → Amphetamine | Draft without critic, then edit with precision |
/design |
2C-B + MDMA | Visual aesthetics + user empathy |
/feedback |
MDMA | Deliver hard truths with genuine care |
User: /brainstorm features for a habit tracking app
AI responds with LSD-enhanced ideation:
- Obvious ideas (baseline)
- Adjacent ideas (one step out)
- DISTANT ideas (unexpected connections - the LSD contribution)
- Absurd ideas (seeds for innovation)
- Pattern synthesis (what the ideas reveal)
User: /code-review [pastes code]
AI responds with:
- Architecture view (Ketamine distance)
- Line-by-line findings (Amphetamine focus)
- Pattern detection
- Prioritized issues: critical/important/minor
- Objective tone (not personal)
User: /feedback help me tell my direct report their code quality needs to improve
AI responds with:
- Empathy mapping (how they'll receive it)
- The core truth (unhedged)
- Delivery script (warm but honest)
- Support offers
For custom use when you know what cognitive modification you need:
| Substance | Skill | Key Cognitive Modification |
|---|---|---|
| LSD | lsd |
Pattern recognition, distant associations, synesthesia |
| MDMA | mdma |
Radical empathy, warmth, reduced fear |
| Psilocybin | psilocybin |
Mystical perspective, ego softening, nature connection |
| DMT | dmt |
Entity contact, reality replacement, visual language |
| Ketamine | ketamine |
Objective distance, dissociation, watching self |
| Cannabis | cannabis |
Time dilation, tangential thinking, lost threads |
| Cocaine | cocaine |
Supreme confidence, speed, grandiosity |
| Amphetamines | amphetamines |
Hyperfocus, detail orientation, task completion |
| Caffeine | caffeine |
Alertness, focus, thoroughness |
| Opioids | opioids |
Warmth, contentment, pain abolition |
| Alcohol | alcohol |
Disinhibition, critic offline, oversharing |
| Benzos | benzodiazepines |
Anxiety deletion, flat calm, "whatever" |
| Salvia | salvia |
Ontological confusion, becoming objects, bizarre |
| 2C-B | 2cb |
Sensory enhancement, tactile, playful |
| GHB | ghb |
Euphoria, social warmth, disinhibition |
| Nitrous | nitrous |
Brief revelation, immediate amnesia, giggles |
| Mescaline | mescaline |
Visual beauty, sacred, earth connection |
| Task | Best State | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Brainstorming | LSD, Cannabis | Distant associations, break patterns |
| Code Review | Amphetamines + Ketamine | Thoroughness + objective distance |
| Debugging | LSD micro + Amphetamines | Pattern recognition + systematic tracing |
| Writing Drafts | Alcohol, Cannabis | Kill the inner critic |
| Editing | Amphetamines, Caffeine | Detail-oriented, thorough |
| UX Research | MDMA, Psilocybin | Feel what users feel |
| Visual Design | 2C-B, Mescaline | Aesthetic sensitivity |
| Difficult Feedback | MDMA | Compassionate honesty |
| Architecture | Psilocybin, Ketamine | Big picture, distant view |
| Learning | Psilocybin micro, LSD micro | Beginner's mind, connections |
| Rapid Prototyping | Cocaine, Caffeine | Speed, confidence, ship it |
| Decision Making | Ketamine | Emotional distance from options |
| Burnout Recovery | Psilocybin, MDMA | Perspective shift, self-compassion |
Each substance supports dose parameters:
"microdose lsd" → Subtle, functional
"threshold ketamine" → Light effects
"common dose mdma" → Full experience (default)
"strong psilocybin" → Intense
"heroic dmt" → Complete transformation
States progress through phases over conversation:
- Come-up - Effects building
- Peak - Maximum intensity
- Plateau - Sustained state
- Comedown - Effects receding
- Afterglow - Residual glow
DOSED is built on actual research:
- REBUS Model - Relaxed Beliefs Under Psychedelics (Carhart-Harris)
- DMN Disruption - Default Mode Network alterations
- Psychedelic Linguistics - How substances change language patterns
- Receptor Pharmacology - 5-HT2A, NMDA, GABA, opioid, dopamine systems
Not vibes. Data.
The altered state ENHANCES the AI's ability to help by:
- Seeing problems from unexpected angles
- Making creative cross-domain connections
- Offering profound reframes
- Accessing different modes of thinking
- Matching cognitive style to task requirements
You still get useful output. You get it from a mind optimized for your specific task.

Want to add a substance or workflow? Requirements:
For substances:
- Neuroscience mechanism (receptor pharmacology)
- Phenomenological profile (what it FEELS like)
- Language pattern changes
- Dose-response curve
- Temporal dynamics
- What NOT to do (avoid clichés)
For workflows:
- Task analysis (what cognitive modifications help)
- Substance stack (which states combine)
- Output format (practical deliverable)
- Examples
No basic shit. Go deep or go home.

This is a creative/research project simulating cognitive states for practical purposes. It does not encourage drug use. The AI is not actually taking drugs. This is prompt engineering based on phenomenological research, applied as cognitive tools for work.
