What it does

Procrastination Buster is an agent skill from hidai25/eval-view. Beat procrastination with task breakdown, 2-minute starts, and accountability tracking

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `runner.py`, `test-one.yaml` and `tests.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Focus and ADHD support, Task breakdown and Building AI agents. The repository describes itself as: Regression testing for AI agents. Snapshot behavior,diff tool calls,catch regressions in CI. Works with LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI, Anthropic. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Focus and ADHD support
  • Tasks that involve Task breakdown
  • Tasks that involve Building AI agents

Example prompts

  • “/procrastination-buster”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Break before you build - Spend 5 minutes outlining steps before starting. Clarity kills procrastination.
  2. Track the start, not the finish - Win the hardest battle first. Starting is 80% of the work; finishing follows naturally.
  3. Blockers are data - Avoid blaming willpower. Document what's actually stopping you (unclear deadline? fear of judgment? lack of skill?)…
  4. Commit small, compound wins - "Finish by Friday" is abstract. "Work 25 minutes today" is doable. String five doable commits together and…
  5. All data stays local on your machine - Your task history, blockers, and commitments live on your device. No cloud sync, no tracking, just…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 394f7d7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Procrastination Buster loads about 837 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~837

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Procrastination Buster

Start today, finish stronger—powered by small momentum and honest tracking.

What it does

Procrastination-Buster breaks the cycle of avoidance by combining behavioral science with practical friction reduction:

  • Task Breakdown - Splits overwhelming projects into atomic, startable units (not "write report" but "outline 5 sections")
  • 2-Minute Starts - Removes the startup barrier by anchoring commitment to a single, trivial first step
  • Friction Reduction - Identifies and removes mental blockers (unclear goals, environment chaos, skill gaps)
  • Accountability Tracking - Records what you commit to, what you start, and what you finish—building a win history

Usage

Break Down Task

Ask clawd: "Break down [task name] into 5 startable steps"

  • Returns concrete first action with time estimate
  • Eliminates ambiguity that feeds avoidance
2-Minute Start

Ask clawd: "Give me a 2-minute start for [task]"

  • Identifies the single smallest action (open file, write one sentence, gather materials)
  • Momentum compounds once friction drops
Log Blockers

Ask clawd: "What's stopping me from starting [task]?"

  • Tracks emotional, practical, or skill-based barriers
  • Suggests removal strategies per blocker type
Accountability Partner

Ask clawd: "Track my progress on [task]—check in tomorrow"

  • Simple commit → simple check-in
  • Persistent memory remembers your pattern, builds trust
Celebrate Wins

Ask clawd: "What did I finish this week?"

  • Surfaces completed work (easy to forget)
  • Feeds motivation for next task

Techniques

The 2-Minute Rule Start, don't finish. Commit to 2 minutes of the task. Momentum usually carries past the barrier. If it doesn't, you've still moved forward.

Pomodoro Starts Chain three 25-minute sprints with 5-minute breaks. After the first sprint, procrastination usually evaporates—the task becomes real.

Environment Design Remove friction from your space: close unneeded tabs, silence notifications, place materials within arm's reach. Friction is silent procrastination.

Future Self Letter Write a note to yourself after finishing: "I did this. Here's what I learned. Here's what to do next time." Future you reads it before the next task and starts stronger.

Tips

  1. Break before you build - Spend 5 minutes outlining steps before starting. Clarity kills procrastination.

  2. Track the start, not the finish - Win the hardest battle first. Starting is 80% of the work; finishing follows naturally.

  3. Blockers are data - Avoid blaming willpower. Document what's actually stopping you (unclear deadline? fear of judgment? lack of skill?). Attack the real blocker.

  4. Commit small, compound wins - "Finish by Friday" is abstract. "Work 25 minutes today" is doable. String five doable commits together and you're done.

  5. All data stays local on your machine - Your task history, blockers, and commitments live on your device. No cloud sync, no tracking, just you and your persistence.
