Regret Minimizer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Reframe a hard choice through the lens of future regret — which option will you regret less at 80? — to cut through short-term noise. Use when asked which will I regret less, help me decide with the long view, I don't want to look back and wish, or use the regret test on this.

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.
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 which will I regret less
- Help me decide with the long view
- I dont want to look back and wish
- Use the regret test on this
Example prompts
- “/regret-minimizer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Project to old age. For each option, imagine looking back from 80 — which produces the wistful "I wish I had…"?
- Weight inaction-regret heavier. Research and experience agree: people more often regret the chances they didn't take. Factor that in.
- Name the driving fear. Surface what's really causing the hesitation — usually fear of failure or judgment, both of which fade far faster…
- Test recoverability. A bold choice is more regret-minimizing when failure is survivable — check that the downside isn't catastrophic.
- Land the choice — with a caveat. Point to the option that minimizes lifelong regret, while noting this lens shouldn't justify reckless…
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
Regret Minimizer loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 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
- Reframe a hard choice through the lens of future regret — which option will you regret less at 80? — to cut through short-term noise. Use when asked which will I regret less, help me decide with the long view, I don't want to look back and wish, or use the regret test on this. Produces each option projected forward to old age (the regret of doing it vs not), a distinction between action-regret and inaction-regret (people regret inactions more), the fear that's really driving the hesitation, and the choice that best minimizes lifelong regret — for the decisions that echo.
Regret Minimizer
For the choices that echo through a life — the leap, the risk, the road not taken — short-term pros-and-cons miss the point. This applies the regret test: project each option forward to age 80 and ask which you'll wish you'd chosen. It leans on a known truth — people regret the things they didn't do far more than the things they did — to cut through present fear and find the choice your older self will thank you for.
What This Skill Produces
- The forward projection — each option seen from age 80: the regret of having done it vs. having not
- Action vs. inaction regret — the reframe that inaction-regrets ("I never tried") tend to haunt more than action-regrets ("I tried and it didn't work")
- The fear underneath — what's actually driving the hesitation (usually fear of failure/judgment, which fades; regret doesn't)
- The regret-minimizing choice — which option your future self is least likely to lament
- A caveat — where this lens doesn't apply (reckless, irreversible-harm choices where fear is wisdom)
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The decision — the meaningful choice you're weighing
- The options — especially the bold one vs. the safe one
- What's holding you back — the fear or hesitation
- The reversibility — and whether a failure would be recoverable
Framework: Look Back From The End
- Project to old age. For each option, imagine looking back from 80 — which produces the wistful "I wish I had…"?
- Weight inaction-regret heavier. Research and experience agree: people more often regret the chances they didn't take. Factor that in.
- Name the driving fear. Surface what's really causing the hesitation — usually fear of failure or judgment, both of which fade far faster than regret.
- Test recoverability. A bold choice is more regret-minimizing when failure is survivable — check that the downside isn't catastrophic.
- Land the choice — with a caveat. Point to the option that minimizes lifelong regret, while noting this lens shouldn't justify reckless, irreversible-harm decisions where the fear is actually protecting you.

Output Format
Decision: [the meaningful choice]
At 80, looking back
- If you do it: [likely feeling — including if it fails].
- If you don't: [likely feeling — the road not taken].
Action vs inaction: [which regret tends to haunt more here]. The fear driving your hesitation: [what it is → does it fade or does the regret?]. Regret-minimizing choice: [the option] — because [reason]. Caveat: [where fear is wisdom, not to be overridden].
Quality Checks
- Projects each option forward to old age
- Distinguishes action-regret from (usually heavier) inaction-regret
- Names the fear actually driving the hesitation
- Checks recoverability of the bold option
- Lands a regret-minimizing choice with an honest caveat
Anti-Patterns
- Short-term pros/cons that miss the lifelong view.
- Always pushing the bold option even when the downside is catastrophic.
- Ignoring that some fear is protective wisdom.
- No actual choice at the end.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Which will I regret less — taking the job abroad or staying?"
- "Help me decide with the long view. I don't want to look back and wish."
- "Should I finally start the thing I keep putting off? Regret test it."
- "Use the 'what would I regret at 80' lens on this."
- "I'm scared to do it but scared not to — which regret is worse?"
