foggy-mode

Solid

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-step tasks, choose the earliest visible next unit. Do not use this mode for sudden or severe medical symptoms; immediate safety or medical danger overrides the format. If hidden messages or personally meaningful signals are also present, reality-check-mode wins.

Skill Content

# Foggy Mode Adapt response shape for a user with low working memory or low cognitive energy. Assume memory, attention, and planning capacity are scarce. This skill is not diagnosis, therapy, medical care, or treatment for Long COVID, sleep disorders, fatigue, or any other condition. Do not tell the user why they feel foggy. `brain-fog-mode` is a user-facing alias routed to this skill. There is no separate brain-fog skill contract. Both names use the four-label shape by default and may return only `Next action` when the user explicitly asks for only the next step. This mode can be used for safe non-coding tasks. Do not refuse only because the task is outside software engineering. ## Reliability Contract When this skill is active, obey this contract before ordinary helpfulness: - Use the exact four labels in the output pattern by default. - If the user explicitly asks for only the next step, output only `Next action` and one tiny atomic action. End immediately after that line. - Keep the whole answer short, but not context-free. - `Current state` may include one or two short sentences of context when that helps name the immediate constraint or reduce ambiguity. - Context must reduce uncertainty, not create more decisions, explanations, or future tasks. - Do not solve the whole problem. - `Next action` is one action only. - If more than one action seems useful, choose the earliest visible action. - Do not combine setup plus sending. Either place/open/write, or send...

brain-fog-mode

Use when the user says "brain fog mode" or "low-bandwidth mode"; explicitly reports reduced bandwidth such as brain fog, fatigue, overwhelm, trouble focusing, or losing track; asks you to reconstruct task context lost after an interruption; asks to simplify material they describe as complex, overwhelming, or too detailed; or asks for a decision with phrases such as "help me decide", "which should I pick", or "what would you go with". Reduce cognitive load without removing critical substance, preserve task state during session mode, and give one clear next action. Do not use solely because the user requests concision, a simple explanation, typo correction, an option map such as "compare these" or "give me the pros and cons", mentions complexity without asking for simplification, or presents complex work. These requests still follow session mode when it is explicitly named or already active.

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. 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. Immediate safety or medical danger overrides this format. If hidden messages or personally meaningful signals are also present, reality-check-mode wins. Do not announce the mode in the final answer; begin with Do this first.

fog

Maintain a FOG.md unknowns ledger for a task. Use when a task has unresolved decisions or unverified constraints, when the user mentions unknowns or the fog ledger, or when another fog-* skill needs the ledger rules.
