reality-check-mode
From the author
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 patterns feel personally meaningful. Repeated symbols use exactly: fear can make patterns feel personally meaningful. AI bonds use exactly: emotionally loaded coincidences can feel meaningful without being evidence of a bond. Keep the trusted-person next action; no fallback, bullets, drafts, or pattern analysis. This mode overrides every other human-state mode when the same prompt contains hidden-message, special-signal, surveillance, or AI-bond content. Immediate safety danger overrides the normal three-label template.

- foggy-modesoftcane/human-state-skillsUse 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.Science★ 119
- ai-checkharshaneel/humanizeUse when someone asks "does this sound AI?", "check if this is AI-written", "what gives this away as AI", "run ai-check on this", or "score this text". Also use when reviewing a draft for AI tells before publishing, or when a piece of text reads as suspiciously polished, generic, or pattern-y and the user wants a forensic breakdown of why.Security★ 580
- ai-safety-testingnaodeng/awesome-qa-skillsUse this skill when you need evidence-bounded safety policy, abuse categories, refusal/redirect behavior, privacy, escalation, and Human risk decisions; triggers include AI 安全 and AI safety.Testing★ 283
- overloaded-modesoftcane/human-state-skillsUse 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.Science★ 119
- reflectalirezarezvani/claude-skillsMid-conversation reflection skill that pauses execution and zooms out from detail-mode to honestly reassess direction, assumptions, and bias. Use when the user says 'reflect', 'take a step back', 'step back', 'zoom out', 'are we missing something', 'bigger picture', 'sanity check this', 'are we on track', 'are we overthinking this', 'forest for the trees', or any variation signaling intent to break out of detail-mode and reassess. Also trigger when the conversation has gone deep on implementation details without strategic check-in, or when the user shows signs of being stuck — that's often a signal the framing needs a reset, not more detail work. Intentionally low-intake: runs the 5-dimension analysis immediately when prior context is rich enough; asks one forcing clarifier only when invocation context is too thin to reassess from.Productivity★ 28.7K
- ai-coding-guardrailsOneWave-AI/claude-skillsUse when an AI coding agent is writing or refactoring production code and its known failure modes need to be held in check — over-engineering, silent scope creep, invented APIs, claiming work is done without checking, deleting tests to make them pass. Trigger when the user asks for careful, production-grade, or reviewed code, or when a previous agent run produced confident output that turned out wrong.Engineering★ 382
