What it does

Screen Time Detox is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Cut compulsive screen and phone use with a workable plan — friction, environment, and replacement habits — instead of relying on willpower or deleting everything. Use when asked to reduce my screen time, I'm addicted to my phone, help me use my phone less, or a digital detox plan. Produces a read on your worst triggers, targeted friction and environment changes, replacement activities for the itch, boundary settings that stick, and a realistic goal — not an all-or-nothing purge that fails by Tuesday.

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 to reduce my screen time
  • Im addicted to my phone
  • Help me use my phone less
  • A digital detox plan

Example prompts

  • “/screen-time-detox”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Target the worst offenders. Don't detox everything — find the two or three apps/moments that eat the most time and aim there.
  2. Add friction. Log out, remove from the home screen, turn on grayscale, set app limits — every extra tap breaks the autopilot reach.
  3. Kill the cues. Cut non-human notifications, keep the phone out of the bedroom, charge it across the room — most pickups are prompted, not…
  4. Replace, don't just remove. Give the restlessness an outlet (a book by the couch, a walk, a hobby) or the itch just finds another app.
  5. Set defaults, not willpower. Phone-free zones/times (meals, first/last hour) work because they're rules, not moment-to-moment battles. Aim…

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

Screen Time Detox loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 504 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
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
Cut compulsive screen and phone use with a workable plan — friction, environment, and replacement habits — instead of relying on willpower or deleting everything. Use when asked to reduce my screen time, I'm addicted to my phone, help me use my phone less, or a digital detox plan. Produces a read on your worst triggers, targeted friction and environment changes, replacement activities for the itch, boundary settings that stick, and a realistic goal — not an all-or-nothing purge that fails by Tuesday.

Screen-Time Detox

Deleting every app on Monday and reinstalling by Friday isn't a plan. Compulsive phone use is a design problem (apps engineered to hook) plus a habit loop, so the fix is design and habit: add friction where you overuse, remove the cues, and give the restless itch somewhere else to go — with a realistic target, not a joyless total ban.

What This Skill Produces

  • A trigger read — the specific apps/times/situations driving your overuse (bored, anxious, bed, queues)
  • Friction changes — make the problem apps harder to reach (log-outs, grayscale, home-screen removal, limits)
  • Environment fixes — phone out of the bedroom, notifications culled, charging away from you
  • Replacement habits — what to do with the itch, so you're removing and replacing
  • Sticky boundaries — phone-free times/zones and settings, framed as defaults not constant willpower
  • A realistic goal — reduction and intention, not an all-or-nothing purge

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The problem — which apps/behaviors, and roughly how much time
  • The triggers — when and why you reach for it (boredom, stress, habit, bed, notifications)
  • Your goal — cut total time, reclaim mornings/evenings, stop a specific app, be more present
  • What you've tried — and where it failed
  • Non-negotiables — apps you need for work/life (don't nuke these)

Framework: Friction, Environment, Replacement

  1. Target the worst offenders. Don't detox everything — find the two or three apps/moments that eat the most time and aim there.
  2. Add friction. Log out, remove from the home screen, turn on grayscale, set app limits — every extra tap breaks the autopilot reach.
  3. Kill the cues. Cut non-human notifications, keep the phone out of the bedroom, charge it across the room — most pickups are prompted, not chosen.
  4. Replace, don't just remove. Give the restlessness an outlet (a book by the couch, a walk, a hobby) or the itch just finds another app.
  5. Set defaults, not willpower. Phone-free zones/times (meals, first/last hour) work because they're rules, not moment-to-moment battles. Aim for realistic reduction.

Output Format

Screen-time reset: [main problem] · goal: [x]

Worst triggers: [top 2–3 apps/moments].

Add friction: [log out / off home screen / grayscale / app limits] for [apps]. Fix environment: notifications [cull] · bedroom [phone out] · charge [away]. Replace the itch: [specific alternative for the common trigger]. Boundaries: [phone-free times/zones — e.g. no phone first/last hour, meals]. Target: [realistic reduction], not zero.

Quality Checks

  • Targets the specific worst offenders, not a blanket ban
  • Uses friction and environment changes, not just willpower
  • Cuts notification/cue triggers
  • Pairs removal with replacement activities
  • Sets realistic goals and preserves needed apps

Anti-Patterns

  • All-or-nothing purges that rebound within days.
  • Relying on willpower against apps engineered to hook.
  • Removing without replacing — the itch migrates.
  • Nuking work/essential apps and making the plan impractical.
  • Ignoring notifications and bedroom phone — the biggest cues.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "I spend way too long on my phone — help me cut it down."
  • "I'm addicted to scrolling before bed."
  • "Help me use social media less without deleting it entirely."
  • "A realistic digital detox plan, not going cold turkey."
  • "How do I stop reaching for my phone every time I'm bored?"
