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. Do not diagnose burnout. Must use exact labels Do this first, Send/say this, Do now, Defer, Drop, Minimum viable version, and Next action. Do now is 1-3 top-level bullets only. Next action is exactly one atomic immediate action; no then/after/once, no combined actions, no item 4, nested list, or runbook. …

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'overloaded-mode' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'overloaded-mode' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named overloaded-mode already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/softcane/human-state-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'ba5914dcff9e239c950730bcb020de449305bc79' -- '.agents/skills/overloaded-mode' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/overloaded-mode' ~/.agents/skills/'overloaded-mode' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'overloaded-mode' ~/.claude/skills/'overloaded-mode' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
