CBT Cards77 cards
Short source prompts spanning cognitive, behavioral, ACT-adjacent, DBT-adjacent, and generic wellness themes.
CBT Cards / Toolkit
A source corpus is not a recommendation list.
The toolkit contains 115 pinned source records. CBT Cards keeps those records available for provenance while publishing only a smaller reviewed layer.
Pinned source
77 cards, 23 metaphors, 15 protocols.
23 metaphors
Narrative memory aids. A metaphor can help an idea stick but is not evidence for the idea.
15 protocols
Multi-step records kept source-only unless a future protocol-specific evidence and safety review says otherwise.
Two separate questions
Publication status answers: “Has CBT Cards explicitly reviewed this source record for a standalone public page?” Any unlisted record defaults to unreviewed and source_only.
Editorial audit answers: “What is worth reviewing next, what overlaps, what needs attribution or rework, and what should stay source-only?” The audit covers every pinned source ID, but audit status is not publication approval.

Why CBT Cards also has owned practices
The reviewed Practice Finder is the preferred situation-first layer for new recommendations. It uses explicit mechanisms, evidence notes, safety exclusions, and no_match behavior rather than asking an assistant to select freely from all 115 raw records.
Owned content beyond the source toolkit
The CBT Cards content library is deliberately separate from this pinned source corpus. It now contains 42 CBT Cards-owned modules across seven formats: patterns, bounded low-risk experiments, worked examples, reflection scripts, contrasts, progressions, and decision rules. Every module links back to existing reviewed practices and evidence instead of creating a looser recommendation layer.

Machine-readable: content-library.json for the first 24 modules and content-guides.json for the 18 navigation guides. The exact short formats are editorial syntheses; they do not carry independent clinical-efficacy claims.
Machine-readable boundaries
toolkit-source.json: source commit, counts, license, and pinned distribution.toolkit-review.json: publication authority for raw source records.toolkit-audit.json: record-complete editorial triage.content-library.json: CBT Cards-owned patterns, experiments, examples, and scripts mapped to reviewed practices.content-guides.json: CBT Cards-owned contrasts, progressions, and decision rules.content-review.json: freshness for already reviewed public material.
Editorial review is not clinical validation or proof of efficacy.
