I built a structured CBT engine that sits on top of LLMs and enforces cognitive workflow logic before generating responses.

Most AI tools in this space are purely conversational. This system instead:

Extracts cognitive distortion signals

Calibrates emotional intensity

Applies rule-based risk-tier logic

Separates deterministic detection from generative drafting

Enforces tone presets and word caps to avoid generic output

It runs in two modes:

Reflect → structured self-guided reframing Assist → structured signal extraction + constrained response drafting for coaches/therapists

The goal wasn’t to build another chatbot, but to explore whether LLMs can be constrained inside a deterministic cognitive architecture.

Would love feedback from people building structured AI systems or workflow-constrained LLM tools.
