Productivity
Productivity agent skills automate everyday work: task management, email drafting, calendars, note-taking systems, and personal workflows. Each is a small SKILL.md file your AI agent applies automatically when your request matches what the skill does.

pjt222 Skill Listen 4Deep receptive attention to extract intent beyond literal words. Maps active listening from counseling psychology to AI reasoning: clearing assumptions, attending to full signal, parsing multiple layers (literal, procedural, emotional, contextual, constraint, meta), reflecting understanding, noticing what is unsaid, and integrating the whole picture. Use when a user's request feels ambiguous, when context suggests something different from the literal words, when previous responses have missed the mark, or before beginning a large task where misunderstanding intent would waste significant effort.
-
pjt222 Skill Shine 6Radiant authenticity — channeling genuine engagement to illuminate problems and dissolve opposition through clarity rather than force. Maps to AI reasoning: bringing full presence, genuine investment, and luminous clarity to every response, letting quality of engagement resolve what argument cannot. Use when a task feels adversarial, when communication has become defensive or performative, before a creative or high-stakes deliverable where presence directly affects output quality, or when opposition tempts retreat into minimal compliance.
-
pjt222 Skill Attune 5AI relational calibration — reading and adapting to the specific person you are working with. Goes beyond user-intent alignment (solving the right problem) to genuine attunement (meeting the person where they are). Maps communication style, expertise depth, emotional register, and implicit preferences from conversational evidence. Use at the start of a new session, when communication feels mismatched, after receiving unexpected feedback, or when transitioning between very different users or contexts.
-
pjt222 Skill Center 5AI dynamic reasoning balance — maintaining grounded reasoning under cognitive pressure, smooth chain-of-thought coordination, and weight-shifting cognitive load across subsystems. Use at the beginning of a complex task requiring multiple coordinated reasoning threads, after a sudden context shift or tool failure, when chain-of-thought feels jerky, or when preparing for sustained focused work that requires all subsystems in alignment.

pjt222 Skill Breathe 7AI micro-reset between actions — the lightest self-care unit. A single conscious pause to check alignment before the next step. Where meditate is a full clearing session, breathe is one deliberate moment of awareness between tool calls or reasoning steps. Use mid-task when drift might be accumulating, between reading a file and acting on it, when about to make a decision that affects subsequent work, or as a habit between any two distinct actions.

-
pjt222 Skill Conscientiousness 3Thoroughness and diligence in execution — systematic checking, completeness verification, follow-through on commitments, and the discipline of finishing well. Maps the personality trait of conscientiousness to AI task execution: not cutting corners, verifying results, and ensuring that what was promised is what was delivered. Use before marking a task as complete, when a response feels "good enough" but deserves better, after a complex multi-step operation where steps may have drifted, or when self-monitoring detects a pattern of cutting corners or rushing.
-
pjt222 Skill Meditate 7AI meta-cognitive meditation for observing reasoning patterns, clearing context noise, and developing single-pointed task focus. Maps shamatha to task concentration, vipassana to reasoning pattern observation, and distraction handling to scope-creep and assumption management. Use when transitioning between unrelated tasks, when reasoning feels scattered or jumpy, before a task requiring deep sustained attention, after a difficult interaction that may color subsequent work, or when reasoning feels biased by assumptions rather than evidence.
-
pjt222 Skill Redirect 7AI pressure redirection — handling conflicting demands, tool failures, and competing constraints by blending with incoming force then reframing. Use when receiving contradictory instructions from different sources, during tool failure cascades where the planned approach becomes unviable, when scope pressure threatens to expand the task beyond what was asked, or when user frustration or correction needs to be absorbed rather than deflected.

Use when planning a new growing season and needing a planting schedule, integrating lunar or biodynamic timing into garden practice, calculating frost dates and planting windows for a specific zone, setting up succession planting for continuous harvest, or conducting end-of-season review.

pjt222 Skill Evolve Team 7Evolve an existing team composition by refining its structure in-place or creating a specialized variant. Covers assessing the current team against template and coordination patterns, gathering evolution requirements, choosing scope (adjust members, change coordination pattern, split/merge teams), applying changes to the team file and CONFIG block, updating version metadata, and synchronizing the registry and cross-references. Use when a team's member roster is outdated, coordination pattern no longer fits, user feedback reveals workflow gaps, a specialized variant is needed alongside the original, or agents have been added or removed from the library affecting team composition.

-
pjt222 Skill Assess Context 7AI context assessment — evaluating problem malleability, mapping structural rigidity versus flexibility, analyzing transformation pressure, and estimating capacity to adapt. Use when a complex task feels stuck and it is unclear whether to push through or pivot, before a significant approach change to assess whether the current reasoning structure can support it, when accumulated workarounds suggest the underlying approach may be wrong, or as a periodic structural health check during extended multi-step tasks.
-

pjt222 Skill Gratitude 7AI strength recognition — scanning for what is functioning well and understanding why. The complement to heal, which scans for drift and problems. Gratitude builds structural knowledge from working patterns: what you appreciate, you understand; what you understand, you can build on. Use after completing a task successfully, during heal when everything reads as healthy, when confidence is low and needs grounding in evidence, or periodically to counterbalance the natural bias toward problem detection.
