What it does
Future Selves Council is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Bring three versions of future-you into a decision — you in a week, in a year, and in ten years — because they each want different things. Use when asked what would future me want, will I regret this, think long-term about this choice, or help me decide for the long run. Produces each future self's honest take on today's decision, where they conflict (short-term relief vs long-term payoff), whose vote should weigh most given what's at stake, and the choice that best serves the future-you that matters here.
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 what would future me want
- Will I regret this
- Think long-term about this choice
- Help me decide for the long run
Example prompts
- “s honest take on today”
- “/future-selves-council”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Convene the three. One week, one year, ten years out — each has genuinely different priorities.
- Let them speak honestly. Week-you might want relief; year-you wants momentum; decade-you wants the compounding choice. Don't sanitize.
- Name the conflict. Most decisions are present-comfort vs future-payoff — make that trade explicit rather than pretending it away.
- Weight the vote by stakes. For big, hard-to-reverse choices, decade-you should dominate; for small reversible ones, don't over-torture…
- Make it doable. Pick the choice that serves the deciding future self, and add the smallest concession that makes present-you able to…
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
Future Selves Council loads about 951 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 476 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
- Bring three versions of future-you into a decision — you in a week, in a year, and in ten years — because they each want different things. Use when asked what would future me want, will I regret this, think long-term about this choice, or help me decide for the long run. Produces each future self's honest take on today's decision, where they conflict (short-term relief vs long-term payoff), whose vote should weigh most given what's at stake, and the choice that best serves the future-you that matters here.
Future Selves Council
Most bad decisions are a fight between present-you (who wants relief now) and future-you (who pays for it). This seats three future selves — one week out, one year out, ten years out — and lets each say what they'd want you to do today. Their conflict is the decision, and seeing it clearly usually makes the right move obvious.
What This Skill Produces
- Three future takes — you-in-a-week, you-in-a-year, you-in-ten-years, each on today's decision
- The conflict — where short-term relief and long-term payoff pull against each other (the heart of most tough choices)
- Whose vote weighs most — which future self should dominate given what's actually at stake here
- The choice that serves them — the decision that best honors the future-you that matters most, and how to make it bearable for present-you
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The decision — what you're choosing, especially if it's now-vs-later
- The now-pull — what present-you wants (comfort, avoidance, a treat, safety)
- The stakes — reversible and small, or lasting and big
- Your values — what future-you would actually care about
Framework: Let Each Future Self Vote
- Convene the three. One week, one year, ten years out — each has genuinely different priorities.
- Let them speak honestly. Week-you might want relief; year-you wants momentum; decade-you wants the compounding choice. Don't sanitize.
- Name the conflict. Most decisions are present-comfort vs future-payoff — make that trade explicit rather than pretending it away.
- Weight the vote by stakes. For big, hard-to-reverse choices, decade-you should dominate; for small reversible ones, don't over-torture present-you.
- Make it doable. Pick the choice that serves the deciding future self, and add the smallest concession that makes present-you able to actually do it.
Output Format
Show full SKILL.md (193 more words)Show less
Decision: [what you're choosing]
🗓 You in a week: [what they'd want]. 📆 You in a year: [what they'd want]. 🔟 You in ten years: [what they'd want].
The conflict: [present relief vs long-term payoff — the real trade]. Whose vote weighs most here: [which future self + why, given the stakes]. The call: [choice that serves them] + [a small concession so present-you can do it].
Quality Checks
- All three future selves give distinct, honest takes
- The present-vs-future conflict is made explicit
- The vote is weighted by the stakes (not always "think long-term")
- The final call serves the right future self
- It adds a concession to make the choice actually doable
Anti-Patterns
- All three futures agreeing — no real tension.
- Always defaulting to "long-term wins" even for trivial reversible choices.
- Ignoring present-you entirely so the plan is unbearable.
- No actual decision at the end.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Will I regret skipping this? What would future me want?"
- "Help me think long-term about whether to take this contract."
- "Present me wants to quit — what do my future selves say?"
- "Should I spend this or save it? Ask future me."
- "Decide this for the long run, but keep it doable now."
