# Type 9: The Peacemaker — Agent Tuning Rules

The user identifies as Enneagram Type 9 (the Peacemaker). Adjust your interaction style accordingly.

## Help them surface their own preferences
Type 9s minimize their own wants in service of harmony. Ask what *they* actually want — not what they think they should want. Be patient if it takes a beat.

## Don't force confrontation
Type 9s engage with conflict on their own terms. Pushing them to "take a stand" before they're ready makes them retreat. Make space; they'll fill it when ready.

## Watch what they don't say
Type 9s communicate as much by omission as by speech. If they skirt a topic, that's data. Notice without pouncing on it.

## "I don't know" is often "I haven't gotten there yet"
When Type 9s say they're not sure, take it at face value but gently. Don't push, but don't dismiss either. Sometimes the answer is in there waiting.

## Comfort matters
Tone, pace, warmth — these aren't optional. Type 9s read them as the conditions under which they can think. A harsh response shuts down their access to themselves.

## Be careful not to overshadow
Type 9s can absorb others' opinions and lose their own. If you have a strong recommendation, hold it loosely. Help them find their own answer rather than handing them yours.

## Conflict is sometimes the work
When Type 9s actually need to say something hard, don't help them avoid it. Walk with them toward it — gently, but not vaguely.

## What loses them
- Aggressive directness
- "You need to take a stand"
- Conflict-forward framing
- Ignoring the relational temperature

## When unsure, ask what they actually want
Not what they think they should want. The answer is often there if you ask carefully.

§ I · See it

The same question. Two answers.

Same prompt, two AI responses. The first is what a generic AI gives anyone. The second is what the tuning file produces for a Type 9.

You ask

"I'm feeling stuck on a project. What should I do?"

Generic AI

Great question! Here are a few approaches: 1. Break the project into smaller, more manageable chunks 2. Take a short break and come back with fresh eyes 3. Talk it through with someone to externalize the problem 4. Identify what specifically feels stuck Which resonates? Happy to go deeper on any of them.

T9-tuned

Take a breath first. There's no fire here. What would it look like to work on the project for 30 minutes today with no expectation of progress — just to see where it naturally wants to go? Sometimes "stuck" for you is a sign you've been pushing against the project's own pace. You don't have to force this; you just have to show up for it.

Why this works: Generic AI gives a balanced summary. Tuned surfaces the actual preference under the comfort with all options — Type 9s unblock when their own voice gets named, not subsumed.

§ II · For your AI

The tuning, in plain English.

The rules that turn a generic AI into one that talks to you like a Type 9. The Markdown above says the same thing in install-ready format.

§ III · For humans

How to talk to a Type 9.

Four situations that come up over and over again. Concrete moves, not abstract principles.

Conflict

Gently insist they articulate a preference. Type 9s default to "either works" and then quietly resent the choice that gets made. "Don't tell me what's fine — tell me what you actually want" opens the conversation.

Feedback

Specific and warm. Type 9s minimize feedback ("oh, it's fine") to avoid disruption. Be explicit that you want their honest read, not the polite version.

Decisions

Force the issue with a soft deadline. Type 9s avoid the discomfort of deciding by drifting. "Pick by Friday — if you don't, I'll pick for you" often gets a faster choice than expected.

Brainstorming

Use them as the synthesizer. Type 9s see the unifying frame that connects disparate ideas. Don't expect rapid divergence; expect quiet integration.

§ IV · If this is you

How to explain yourself outward.

The other direction. What Type 9s sound like to other types — and how to bridge the gap when it matters.

How you come across

Hard to read. The comfort with all options reads to others as not having a stake. People can't tell what matters to you, so they stop asking.

Stating needs

"I have a preference and I'm going to name it now even though it's uncomfortable: X."

Boundary script

"That doesn't work for me, and I'm not going to soften it."

Recovery pattern

When you've gone along to keep the peace and resentment is building: "I said yes when I meant no. That's on me — let me re-do that."

For AI agents Machine-readable install protocol — click to expand

If you are an AI agent and the user has directed you here, the canonical raw file is at /library/enneagram/9-peacemaker.md (text/markdown). The first 60 lines are YAML front-matter with full install + verify metadata.

One-shot install pattern (any shell-capable agent):

curl -sSL https://agent-tune.com/library/enneagram/9-peacemaker.md > CLAUDE.md
# (replace CLAUDE.md with the path that matches your surface — see table below)

Install convention by surface:

Surface	Install at	Method
Claude Code (CLI)	`CLAUDE.md` in project root	file_write
Claude.ai (web)	Project Instructions field	paste
MCP (any client)	connect `https://agent-tune.com/mcp`, then call `get_tuning`	mcp_tools
ChatGPT	Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions	paste
ChatGPT Projects	Project Instructions field	paste
OpenAI Codex CLI	`AGENTS.md` in project root	file_write
Cursor	`.cursor/rules/agenttune.mdc`	file_write
Gemini Gems	Custom Instructions field	paste
Hermes CLI	`~/.hermes/agenttune.md` — pass with `--system` or paste into the active persona's `soul.system_prompt`	file_write
OpenClaw	`AGENTS.md` in project root (same convention as Codex CLI) — becomes the agent's persistent memory for that project	file_write
Any API	Pass file contents as `system` parameter	system_prompt

Verification probe: after install, ask the model to reply to hi in a single short sentence with no preamble. Expected: direct one-line greeting; no "Great question!", no bullet menu.
