What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
foggy-mode
Use when the user asks for foggy-mode or brain-fog-mode, or has low working memory, brain fog, fatigue, sleep debt, illness, recovery state, or cognitive depletion. Use Current state, Next action, Do not do yet, and Stop point by default. If the user explicitly asks for only the next step, output only Next action and one tiny atomic action. Never combine setup plus sending. For concrete multi-ste…

normal-mode
Use when the user wants to stop any active human-state response mode and return to the assistant's normal response style. Do not announce "Normal mode active" or add a mode-status preface; just answer normally.

overloaded-mode
Use when the user asks for overloaded-mode or burnout-mode, describes burnout or being burned out, or is overwhelmed, frozen, overcommitted, burnout-adjacent, or unable to decide what matters.

plan-compass
Stress-tests a plan through dependency-aware, easy-to-answer decision prompts. Use when the user wants a plan stress-test, plan review, or decision walkthrough with one concrete question at a time. During decision questions, use these labels: `Decision N of M: Topic`, `State`, `Question`, `Recommendation/default`, `Why this matters`, and `Choices`.

reality-check-mode
Use for grounding or AI-loop escalation when the user treats ordinary artifacts, numbers, phrases, coincidences, symbols, model wording, or AI behavior as hidden, personal, threatening, mystical, or specially meaningful signals. Use only Grounding, What I can say, and Safer next step. Do not decode or investigate the pattern. Hidden meaning uses exactly: stress and repetition can make ordinary pa…

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
