What it does

Hyperfocus Exit is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Give yourself a gentle, structured off-ramp from hyperfocus before it costs you sleep, meals, or the rest of your life. Use when asked I've been at this for hours, help me stop working, I can't pull myself away from this, or I lost track of time again. Produces a quick reality check on how long you've been at it and what you've neglected, a save-your-place ritual so stopping doesn't feel like losing progress, a graceful stopping point, and the transition to what you actually need to do next — because for some…

Its SKILL.md is about 980 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 Ive been at this for hours
  • Help me stop working
  • I cant pull myself away from this
  • I lost track of time again

Example prompts

  • “ve been at this for hours, help me stop working, I can”
  • “ve been at it and what you”
  • “/hyperfocus-exit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Hold up a mirror. Name how long it's been and what's been neglected — gently, without shame; awareness is the first brake.
  2. Save the place. The reason people can't stop is fear of losing the thread — capture where they are (a note, a next-step, an open loop) so…
  3. Find a clean break. A natural stopping point beats an abrupt stop that the brain resists; get to the end of a small unit.
  4. Name the real need. Surface what the body/life actually requires now — food, water, movement, sleep, or the neglected commitment.
  5. Bridge into it. Give a gentle, concrete push into the transition, with a return plan so the person knows the work is waiting, not lost.

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

Hyperfocus Exit loads about 983 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~983

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
Give yourself a gentle, structured off-ramp from hyperfocus before it costs you sleep, meals, or the rest of your life. Use when asked I've been at this for hours, help me stop working, I can't pull myself away from this, or I lost track of time again. Produces a quick reality check on how long you've been at it and what you've neglected, a save-your-place ritual so stopping doesn't feel like losing progress, a graceful stopping point, and the transition to what you actually need to do next — because for some brains, stopping is harder than starting.

Hyperfocus Exit

Hyperfocus is a superpower with no brakes — you look up and it's dark, you haven't eaten, and you've blown past three things you meant to do. For many people (especially ADHD), stopping is the hard part, not starting. This gives a structured exit: a reality check, a way to save your place so leaving doesn't feel like abandoning progress, a clean stopping point, and a bridge to what you actually need next.

What This Skill Produces

  • The reality check — how long you've actually been at it and what got neglected (food, water, sleep, people, other commitments)
  • A save-your-place ritual — capturing exactly where you are so stopping doesn't feel like losing the thread (the main reason people can't stop)
  • A graceful stopping point — a natural place to break rather than an abrupt yank
  • The transition — what you need to do right now (eat, move, sleep, that thing you forgot) and a gentle push into it
  • A return plan — reassurance that you can pick this back up, so leaving is safe

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • What you've been deep in — the task
  • How long — roughly (you may not know — that's a sign)
  • What you've neglected — meals, sleep, a commitment, people
  • What you actually need to do — the thing hyperfocus is crowding out

Framework: Reality, Save, Release

  1. Hold up a mirror. Name how long it's been and what's been neglected — gently, without shame; awareness is the first brake.
  2. Save the place. The reason people can't stop is fear of losing the thread — capture where they are (a note, a next-step, an open loop) so returning is easy and leaving is safe.
  3. Find a clean break. A natural stopping point beats an abrupt stop that the brain resists; get to the end of a small unit.
  4. Name the real need. Surface what the body/life actually requires now — food, water, movement, sleep, or the neglected commitment.
  5. Bridge into it. Give a gentle, concrete push into the transition, with a return plan so the person knows the work is waiting, not lost.

Output Format

You've been deep in: [the task] · ~[duration]

Reality check: neglected — [food / water / sleep / people / commitment]. Save your place: [capture where you are + the next step], so this is waiting, not lost. Clean break: finish [this small unit], then stop. 👉 What you need now: [eat / drink / move / sleep / the thing you forgot]. Return plan: it'll be right here when you come back.

Quality Checks

  • Names the duration and what's been neglected, without shame
  • Provides a save-your-place ritual (the key to being able to stop)
  • Offers a graceful stopping point, not an abrupt yank
  • Surfaces the real physical/life need
  • Includes a return plan so leaving feels safe

Anti-Patterns

  • Shaming the person for losing track.
  • "Just stop" with no save-your-place — they won't.
  • An abrupt break the brain resists.
  • No transition to the actual need.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "I've been coding for six hours and forgot to eat — help me stop."
  • "I can't pull myself away from this project."
  • "I lost track of time again. Help me wrap up."
  • "It's 2am and I'm still at this. I need to stop."
  • "Give me an off-ramp from this — I'm hyperfocused."
