interpersonal communication
Let an agent explain interpersonal communication concepts and skills with attribution to research, describe cultural variation without stereotype, support practical questions about conversation and conflict in general terms, and route relationship or mental health concerns to appropriate services.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
