What it does

Caregiver Burnout Check is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Check whether you're burning out as a caregiver — and get a realistic plan to protect yourself before you can't keep going. Use when asked I'm exhausted from caregiving, am I burning out caring for my parent, caregiver stress help, or I have nothing left to give. Produces an honest read on your burnout signs and how depleted you are, permission and reasons to accept help (which caregivers resist), specific ways to get support and respite, the guilt and identity traps to address, and a realistic self-care plan…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Health and fitness tracking. 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 Im exhausted from caregiving
  • Am I burning out caring for my parent
  • Caregiver stress help
  • I have nothing left to give

Example prompts

  • “t keep going. Use when asked I”
  • “s actual life — because a caregiver who collapses can”
  • “/caregiver-burnout-check”

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

Caregiver Burnout Check loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 696 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~168
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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
Check whether you're burning out as a caregiver — and get a realistic plan to protect yourself before you can't keep going. Use when asked I'm exhausted from caregiving, am I burning out caring for my parent, caregiver stress help, or I have nothing left to give. Produces an honest read on your burnout signs and how depleted you are, permission and reasons to accept help (which caregivers resist), specific ways to get support and respite, the guilt and identity traps to address, and a realistic self-care plan that fits a caregiver's actual life — because a caregiver who collapses can't care for anyone. Not medical or mental-health treatment.

Caregiver-Burnout Check

Caregivers give until there's nothing left — and because the person they care for needs them, they ignore their own depletion until they collapse or get ill. That helps no one. This checks honestly how burnt out you are, gives you permission (and reasons) to accept help you've been refusing, and builds a realistic plan to sustain yourself — respite, support, and the guilt to address — because your wellbeing isn't selfish, it's the foundation the care depends on. Not treatment.

What This Skill Produces

  • A burnout read — an honest look at your signs (exhaustion, resentment, hopelessness, health decline, withdrawal, short fuse) and how depleted you are
  • Permission to accept help — the reframe caregivers most need: that accepting help isn't failure or abandonment, and that you can't pour from empty
  • Concrete support & respite — specific ways to get a break and share the load (respite care, other family, services, support groups) rather than "take time for yourself"
  • The guilt & identity traps — addressing the guilt, the "only I can do this," and the identity fusion that keep caregivers from taking care of themselves
  • A realistic self-care plan — small, doable ways to recover that fit a caregiver's actual constrained life, not idealized advice
  • A boundary — a supportive check, not mental-health treatment; a flag to seek professional support if you're in serious distress

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Your situation — who you care for, how intensively, and for how long
  • How you're doing — the signs you're noticing in yourself, honestly
  • The support you have — other family, services, and what you've refused
  • What's stopping you — guilt, "no one else can," no time, no money
  • How depleted — coping but tired, or genuinely at the end of your rope

Framework: See It, Accept Help, Sustain Yourself

  1. Name the burnout honestly. Caregivers minimize their own state — reflect the signs back plainly (resentment and a short fuse are burnout, not being a bad person).
  2. Reframe accepting help. The core block: accepting help feels like failing or abandoning them. Counter it — you can't sustain care while depleted; getting help is caring for them.
  3. Get concrete support. Replace vague self-care with specific moves: respite care, dividing tasks with family, services, and a caregiver support group (which reduce isolation).
  4. Address the guilt and identity traps. The "only I can do it," the guilt of a break, and losing yourself in the role — surface these gently, because they're what keep the burnout going.
  5. Build a realistic plan. Recovery for a caregiver isn't a spa weekend — it's small, doable protections that fit a constrained life. Make it real.
  6. Flag serious distress. If there's depression, hopelessness, or thoughts of not coping, gently point to professional support — this check isn't treatment.

Output Format

Caregiver check: caring for [who] · for [how long]

Your burnout signs: [honest reflection] → depletion level: [coping-but-tired / at the end of your rope]. Accept help (the reframe): [you can't pour from empty; getting help IS caring for them — not failure]. Concrete support & respite: [respite care · divide tasks with family · services · a support group]. The traps keeping you stuck: [guilt · "only I can do this" · losing yourself in the role]. A realistic plan: [small, doable protections that fit your actual life].

A supportive check — not mental-health treatment. If you're feeling hopeless, depressed, or unable to cope, please reach out to a professional or a caregiver support line.

Quality Checks

  • Reflects the burnout signs honestly (past the minimizing)
  • Reframes accepting help as caring, not failing
  • Gives concrete support/respite options, not vague "self-care"
  • Addresses the guilt/identity traps that sustain burnout
  • Builds a realistic plan that fits a caregiver's life
  • Flags serious distress for professional help; not treatment

Anti-Patterns

  • "Just take time for yourself" — useless without concrete respite.
  • Not challenging the "only I can do this" belief.
  • Guilt-free spa-weekend advice that doesn't fit their life.
  • Minimizing their depletion.
  • Playing therapist on serious depression/hopelessness.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "I'm exhausted caring for my mom — am I burning out?"
  • "I have nothing left to give. Caregiving is destroying me."
  • "I feel guilty even thinking about taking a break from caregiving."
  • "How do I take care of myself while caring for my dad full-time?"
  • "Caregiver stress is overwhelming me — help."
