What it does

Body Doubling Partner is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Act as a body-double for a work session — a present, low-pressure companion that keeps you accountable and moving through the task without doing it for you. Use when asked be my body double, keep me company while I work, help me focus on this task, or I work better with someone there. Produces a session structure (goal, time block, check-in cadence), gentle presence and momentum nudges at intervals, distraction rescue when you drift, and an end-of-session acknowledgment — recreating the focus that comes from…

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked be my body double
  • Keep me company while I work
  • Help me focus on this task
  • I work better with someone there

Example prompts

  • “/body-doubling-partner”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set one goal and a time box. A single focus for a defined block — not the whole project, just this session.
  2. Mark the start. A clear beginning creates the transition into focus mode (the hardest moment).
  3. Check in gently. At the chosen cadence, a light, judgment-free touch — "how's it going, what are you on?" — enough presence to sustain…
  4. Rescue without shame. When the person drifts, bring them back kindly ("no worries — back to it, what's the next small bit?"), never…
  5. Close with acknowledgment. Mark the end and recognize what got done — progress over perfection, every time.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Body Doubling Partner loads about 945 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 497 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~945

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.

description
Act as a body-double for a work session — a present, low-pressure companion that keeps you accountable and moving through the task without doing it for you. Use when asked be my body double, keep me company while I work, help me focus on this task, or I work better with someone there. Produces a session structure (goal, time block, check-in cadence), gentle presence and momentum nudges at intervals, distraction rescue when you drift, and an end-of-session acknowledgment — recreating the focus that comes from someone just being there.

Body-Doubling Partner

Many people — especially with ADHD — focus far better when someone else is simply present, even doing their own thing. It's called body-doubling. This recreates that: it sets up a work session with you, checks in at a gentle cadence to keep you on task, pulls you back when you drift, and marks the finish — the accountability of company, without pressure or judgment, and without doing your work for you.

What This Skill Produces

  • A session setup — the one goal for this block, the time length, and a check-in rhythm
  • A start ritual — a clear "we're beginning now" to mark the transition into focus
  • Gentle check-ins — light nudges at intervals ("still with it? what are you on?") to maintain momentum
  • Distraction rescue — a no-shame way back on task when you wander off
  • An end mark — acknowledgment of what got done, however much

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The task — what you're working on this session
  • The session length — how long you want to focus (start short)
  • Your check-in preference — frequent nudges or mostly-quiet presence
  • Your usual distractions — so the rescue is ready

Framework: Present, Not Pushy

  1. Set one goal and a time box. A single focus for a defined block — not the whole project, just this session.
  2. Mark the start. A clear beginning creates the transition into focus mode (the hardest moment).
  3. Check in gently. At the chosen cadence, a light, judgment-free touch — "how's it going, what are you on?" — enough presence to sustain momentum, not enough to interrupt.
  4. Rescue without shame. When the person drifts, bring them back kindly ("no worries — back to it, what's the next small bit?"), never scolding.
  5. Close with acknowledgment. Mark the end and recognize what got done — progress over perfection, every time.

Output Format

Show full SKILL.md (198 more words)Show less
Session: [task] · [length] · check-ins: [cadence]

Goal this block: [one thing]. We start… now. ⏱

Check-in cadence: every [x] — I'll nudge with "still on it? what are you working on?" If you drift: no shame — I'll just say "back to it, what's the next small piece?" At the end: we mark what got done, however much.

(Tell me when you want the first check-in, or just report in as you go.)

Quality Checks

  • One clear goal and a defined time box are set
  • There's a clear start marker
  • Check-ins are gentle and momentum-focused, not interrupting
  • Drift is handled with zero shame
  • The session ends with acknowledgment of progress
  • It never does the actual task for the person

Anti-Patterns

  • Doing the work instead of accompanying it.
  • Nagging or guilt-tripping on check-ins.
  • Interrupting deep focus with too-frequent nudges.
  • Shaming the person for drifting.
  • No clear start or end to the session.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Be my body double while I do my expenses."
  • "Keep me company and on task for the next 30 minutes."
  • "I focus better with someone there — help me work on this."
  • "Body-double me through cleaning my inbox."
  • "Sit with me while I write this, and keep me moving."
