What it does

Gratitude Practice is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Set up a gratitude practice that survives past week one — a specific format, a realistic cadence, and prompts that avoid the toxic-positivity trap. Use when asked to start a gratitude practice, gratitude journal help, how to be more grateful, or a gratitude routine that sticks. Produces a concrete format (what to write, how many, how specific), an anchor and cadence, variety so it doesn't go stale, and an honest note that gratitude complements — never denies — real difficulty.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Knowledge Management, covering Journaling and reflection. 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 start a gratitude practice
  • Gratitude journal help
  • How to be more grateful
  • A gratitude routine that sticks

Example prompts

  • “/gratitude-practice”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Be specific, not generic. "My friend texted to check on me today" beats "my friends" — detail is what makes gratitude actually shift mood.
  2. Right-size the cadence. Daily can dull the effect for some; a few intentional times a week often lands harder. Fit it to the person.
  3. Rotate the lens. People, small sensory moments, things that went right, hard things you got through — variety keeps it from becoming a…
  4. Anchor it. Attach to an existing routine (coffee, bedtime) so it happens without relying on memory.
  5. Stay honest. Gratitude sits next to difficulty, not on top of it — never imply someone should just be grateful instead of feeling what's…

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

Gratitude Practice loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 502 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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
Set up a gratitude practice that survives past week one — a specific format, a realistic cadence, and prompts that avoid the toxic-positivity trap. Use when asked to start a gratitude practice, gratitude journal help, how to be more grateful, or a gratitude routine that sticks. Produces a concrete format (what to write, how many, how specific), an anchor and cadence, variety so it doesn't go stale, and an honest note that gratitude complements — never denies — real difficulty.

Gratitude Practice

Gratitude practices work — but most fizzle because they're vague ("list three things") and quickly become rote, or they curdle into pretending everything's fine. This sets up a specific, sustainable practice: concrete prompts, enough variety to stay fresh, and a grounded stance that holds space for hard things instead of papering over them.

What This Skill Produces

  • A concrete format — how many items, how specific, and why (specificity is what makes it land)
  • An anchor & cadence — when and how often (daily isn't always best), tied to an existing routine
  • Variety — rotating angles (people, small moments, challenges overcome) so it doesn't go stale
  • A depth option — occasionally going deeper on one thing vs. listing several
  • An honest framing — gratitude alongside difficulty, not toxic positivity that denies real problems

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Your goal — general wellbeing, a reset during a hard time, or building the habit
  • Experience — tried it before (and what fizzled) or brand new
  • Time & cadence — daily, a few times a week, how many minutes
  • Format preference — written, spoken, shared with someone, app
  • Context — anything you want it to help with (stress, perspective, relationships)

Framework: Specific, Varied, Grounded

  1. Be specific, not generic. "My friend texted to check on me today" beats "my friends" — detail is what makes gratitude actually shift mood.
  2. Right-size the cadence. Daily can dull the effect for some; a few intentional times a week often lands harder. Fit it to the person.
  3. Rotate the lens. People, small sensory moments, things that went right, hard things you got through — variety keeps it from becoming a checkbox.
  4. Anchor it. Attach to an existing routine (coffee, bedtime) so it happens without relying on memory.
  5. Stay honest. Gratitude sits next to difficulty, not on top of it — never imply someone should just be grateful instead of feeling what's real.

Output Format

Gratitude practice: [goal] · [cadence] · [format]

Format: [# items, how specific, written/spoken]. Anchor: after [existing routine], at [time]. Cadence: [daily / few times a week — why].

Rotate through

  • People · small moments · things that went right · hard things you moved through.

Go-deeper option: once a week, one thing in detail — why it mattered.

Gratitude complements hard feelings; it doesn't replace them. If things are genuinely heavy, this isn't about forcing positivity.

Quality Checks

  • Emphasizes specificity over generic lists
  • Cadence is right-sized, not blindly "daily"
  • Includes variety so it doesn't go stale
  • Anchored to an existing routine
  • Explicitly avoids toxic positivity / denying real difficulty

Anti-Patterns

  • Vague "list three things" with no specificity guidance.
  • Rote repetition — same items daily until it's meaningless.
  • Toxic positivity — implying gratitude should erase hard feelings.
  • No anchor — relying on remembering.
  • One rigid format that gets stale fast.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Help me start a gratitude practice that I'll actually keep up."
  • "I tried a gratitude journal and it got boring — how do I fix that?"
  • "A gratitude routine to help during a stressful period."
  • "How specific should my gratitude list be?"
  • "Set up a simple gratitude habit anchored to my morning coffee."
