What it does
Stoic Setback Debrief is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Recover from a professional setback — a failed launch, brutal feedback, a public mistake, a lost deal, a layoff — using the actual exercises from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations: the control sort, the evening review, and turning the obstacle into the task. Use when someone says 'today went badly', 'I blew it', 'the launch failed', 'I got torn apart in that meeting', or before replying to something that stung. Produces a structured debrief that separates what happened from the story, and ends in one next action.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Health and fitness tracking. 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
- Someone says today went badly
- The launch failed
- I got torn apart in that meeting
- Before replying to something that stung
Example prompts
- “today went badly”
- “I blew it”
- “the launch failed”
- “/stoic-setback-debrief”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Strip the event to what happened (Book IV; VIII.49) — Aurelius' discipline of
- Sort by control (the Stoic dichotomy, throughout; Epictetus made it explicit) —
- The obstacle becomes the task (V.20) — Aurelius' working principle that what
- The evening review (Book I is the model — he opens by listing what he learned
- Zoom out, briefly (IV.3; VII.47 — the view from above) — one honest sentence
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
Stoic Setback Debrief loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 710 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
- Recover from a professional setback — a failed launch, brutal feedback, a public mistake, a lost deal, a layoff — using the actual exercises from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations: the control sort, the evening review, and turning the obstacle into the task. Use when someone says 'today went badly', 'I blew it', 'the launch failed', 'I got torn apart in that meeting', or before replying to something that stung. Produces a structured debrief that separates what happened from the story, and ends in one next action.
Stoic Setback Debrief Skill
Meditations was never a book — it was a working notebook of a man with an overwhelming job talking himself back to steadiness, entry by entry. That makes it the right tool for the bad professional day: not consolation, but a repeatable procedure. This skill runs the notebook's actual exercises on a specific setback, in order, and refuses to end without a next action. It is a debrief, not therapy — and it says so when therapy is what's actually needed.
What This Skill Produces
- A facts vs. story split: what verifiably happened, separated from the narrative currently running
- A control sort of every element of the situation (yours / partly yours / not yours), with effort reassigned accordingly
- The obstacle-turn: what this setback now makes possible or necessary — the Stoic move of converting the blocker into the task itself
- One next action sized for today, and a line for [[decision-journal]] if a real decision was surfaced
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided):
- What happened, as the user tells it (take the vent — it's data)
- What they're most worried it means (reputation, the project, the job)
- Anything irreversible already done (sent the reply? resigned? nothing yet?)
- Whether anything needs handling tonight, or whether this can use a day
Framework: the notebook's exercises, applied
- Strip the event to what happened (Book IV; VIII.49) — Aurelius' discipline of "objective judgment": describe the event as a camera would, no adjectives, no mind-reading. "The launch converted 0.4% against a 2% target and the VP asked for a plan by Friday" — not "the launch humiliated us." Write both versions; the gap between them is the story, and the story is optional.
- Sort by control (the Stoic dichotomy, throughout; Epictetus made it explicit) — three columns for every element the user named: yours (your next reply, your plan, your craft), partly yours (the team's morale, the VP's read — influence, not control), not yours (the market, the past, other people's verdicts). The rule: effort moves to column one; column three gets acknowledgment, not budget.
- The obstacle becomes the task (V.20) — Aurelius' working principle that what blocks the path becomes the path: the mind adapts and converts the impediment to its own purpose. Not silver-lining ("at least you learned!") — literally: what is the new task this setback has set? A failed launch sets the diagnosis task; a brutal review sets the evidence-gathering task; a layoff sets the search task.
- The evening review (Book I is the model — he opens by listing what he learned from each person) — three questions, answered in writing: What did I handle well, even today? Where did I act against my own standard? What does tomorrow's version of me do differently at the same fork?
- Zoom out, briefly (IV.3; VII.47 — the view from above) — one honest sentence on how this ranks at quarter-scale and at career-scale. Not to minimise; to size.

Output Format
## What happened (camera version)
[2-3 sentences, verifiable facts only]
## The story running alongside it
[The narrative, named as narrative]
## Control sort
| Yours | Partly yours | Not yours |
→ Effort reassignment: [where tonight's/tomorrow's energy actually goes]
## The obstacle, turned
[The specific new task this setback set — one paragraph]
## Evening review
[The three questions, answered]
## One next action
[Small, concrete, today-or-tomorrow · if a real decision surfaced, the
decision-journal line to log]Quality Checks
- The camera version contains zero judgments — read it back looking for hidden adjectives ("disaster", "furious") and strip them
- Every worry the user named appears in exactly one control column
- The obstacle-turn names a task, not a lesson — "diagnose the funnel by Thursday" not "resilience is important"
- The next action is doable within 24 hours by the user alone
- References are to real passages (book/section noted); paraphrase rather than risk a misquote — Meditations is the most misquoted book on the internet
Anti-Patterns
- Do not console first and sort second — run the procedure; steadiness comes from the sorting, not the sympathy
- Do not use the control sort to excuse what was the user's (column one gets more scrutiny, not less — that's the honest half of Stoicism)
- Do not produce "at least" sentences — the obstacle-turn is a task assignment, never a bright side
- Do not treat ongoing distress, burnout, or harassment as a debrief-sized problem — say plainly that this needs a human (manager, HR, doctor, someone trusted) and stop there
- Do not let the user hit send on anything written while the story version was driving — the reply drafted tonight gets reread through the camera version tomorrow
Example Trigger Phrases
- "I blew it."
- "I got torn apart in that meeting."
- "Our launch failed and I can't stop thinking about it."
- "Help me recover from this public mistake."
