What it does

Desk Ergonomics Audit is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Audit your desk setup and fix what's hurting your neck, back, wrists, or eyes — with specific, mostly-free adjustments before you buy anything. Use when asked to check my desk setup, ergonomics help, my [wrists/neck/back] hurt from my desk, or how to set up my workstation. Produces a point-by-point setup check (chair, screen, keyboard, mouse, lighting), the specific fixes ranked free-first, cheap upgrades only if needed, and micro-break habits — with a 'see a professional for persistent pain/numbness' flag.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 to check my desk setup
  • Ergonomics help
  • My [wrists/neck/back] hurt from my desk
  • How to set up my workstation

Example prompts

  • “see a professional for persistent pain/numbness”
  • “/desk-ergonomics-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set the neutral posture targets. Eyes at the top third of the screen, elbows ~90°, wrists straight, feet supported, thighs level — audit…
  2. Fix with what's there first. Raise the monitor on books, lower the chair, pull the keyboard closer — most fixes cost nothing.
  3. Solve laptop neck. A laptop forces a choice between neck and wrists — the fix is almost always raise the screen + external keyboard/mouse.
  4. Buy only where needed. Recommend a cushion, footrest, or keyboard only when repositioning can't solve it.
  5. Movement beats the perfect chair. Build in micro-breaks and position changes — stillness is the real problem.

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

Desk Ergonomics Audit loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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
Audit your desk setup and fix what's hurting your neck, back, wrists, or eyes — with specific, mostly-free adjustments before you buy anything. Use when asked to check my desk setup, ergonomics help, my [wrists/neck/back] hurt from my desk, or how to set up my workstation. Produces a point-by-point setup check (chair, screen, keyboard, mouse, lighting), the specific fixes ranked free-first, cheap upgrades only if needed, and micro-break habits — with a 'see a professional for persistent pain/numbness' flag.

Desk Ergonomics Audit

Most desk pain comes from a handful of misalignments you can fix for free by moving things a few inches — a screen too low, a chair too high, wrists bent at the keyboard. This audits your setup point by point, gives the specific adjustment for each, and only suggests buying something when a free fix won't do.

What This Skill Produces

  • A point-by-point audit — chair, desk height, monitor, keyboard, mouse, lighting, laptop use
  • The specific fix for each — the exact adjustment (raise screen to eye level, elbows ~90°, feet supported)
  • Free-first ranking — reposition and improvise before spending; books under a monitor beat a new stand
  • Targeted cheap upgrades — only where a free fix can't solve it (e.g., external keyboard for laptop users)
  • Micro-break habits — the movement cadence that matters more than any single tweak
  • A pain flag — persistent pain, numbness, or tingling → see a professional

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The complaint — neck, upper/lower back, wrists, shoulders, eyes — or a proactive check
  • Your setup — desk, chair, monitor(s) or laptop, keyboard/mouse, lighting
  • Laptop or desktop — laptop-only setups need specific fixes
  • Constraints — budget, space, standing desk, dual monitors
  • Hours & symptoms — time seated, and stiffness vs actual pain/numbness

Framework: Align, Free-First, Move

  1. Set the neutral posture targets. Eyes at the top third of the screen, elbows ~90°, wrists straight, feet supported, thighs level — audit against these.
  2. Fix with what's there first. Raise the monitor on books, lower the chair, pull the keyboard closer — most fixes cost nothing.
  3. Solve laptop neck. A laptop forces a choice between neck and wrists — the fix is almost always raise the screen + external keyboard/mouse.
  4. Buy only where needed. Recommend a cushion, footrest, or keyboard only when repositioning can't solve it.
  5. Movement beats the perfect chair. Build in micro-breaks and position changes — stillness is the real problem.

Output Format

Ergonomics audit: [complaint] · [setup] · [laptop/desktop]
AreaTargetYour fix
Monitortop ~third at eye level[raise/lower]
Chairthighs level, feet supported[adjust]
Keyboard/mouseelbows ~90°, wrists straight[reposition]
Lightingno glare, screen not brightest thing[fix]
Laptopscreen up + external input[if applicable]

Free fixes first: [list]. Worth buying (only if needed): [item → why]. Move: micro-break every [x] — [cue].

Persistent pain, numbness, or tingling isn't an ergonomics tweak — see a professional.

Quality Checks

  • Audits each area against a clear neutral-posture target
  • Prioritizes free repositioning over purchases
  • Gives the specific laptop fix (raise + external input) when relevant
  • Recommends purchases only where a free fix won't work
  • Includes a micro-break/movement habit
  • Flags persistent pain/numbness for a professional

Anti-Patterns

  • Leading with gear to buy before free fixes.
  • Generic "sit properly" with no specific targets.
  • Ignoring laptop-specific neck/wrist tradeoffs.
  • No movement advice — treating posture as static.
  • Dismissing pain/numbness that needs a professional.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "My wrists hurt at my desk — can you check my setup?"
  • "Audit my home-office ergonomics, I work on a laptop all day."
  • "Neck pain from my monitor — how should I set it up?"
  • "Best free fixes for my desk before I buy anything?"
  • "Set up my dual-monitor workstation ergonomically."
