What it does

The 2 Minute Launch is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Break the paralysis on the thing you keep not starting with a 2-minute launch sequence — a countdown into motion before the resistance can win. Use when asked I keep putting this off, help me finally start, I've been avoiding this for days, or I can't make myself begin. Produces a diagnosis of what flavor of resistance is stopping you, a 2-minute launch move matched to it, a literal countdown into action, and a bare-minimum win definition — designed to convert avoidance into motion in the next 120 seconds, not to…

Its SKILL.md is about 940 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 I keep putting this off
  • Help me finally start
  • Ive been avoiding this for days
  • I cant make myself begin

Example prompts

  • “ve been avoiding this for days, or I can”
  • “/the-2-minute-launch”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Name the resistance flavor. Boredom, fear, fuzziness ("I don't know how"), overwhelm ("it's huge"), or perfectionism each block…
  2. Match the launch to it. Boring → make it a game/timer; scary → do the safest tiny piece; fuzzy → the launch is just "write the first…
  3. Define the minimum win. The tiniest thing that counts as started, so the next 2 minutes can't fail.
  4. Count into motion. A literal countdown to go — leaving no pause for the resistance to talk you out of it.
  5. Stay in launch mode. No planning, scheduling, or optimizing — the only job is to be moving in 120 seconds.

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

The 2 Minute Launch loads about 935 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 477 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~935

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
Break the paralysis on the thing you keep not starting with a 2-minute launch sequence — a countdown into motion before the resistance can win. Use when asked I keep putting this off, help me finally start, I've been avoiding this for days, or I can't make myself begin. Produces a diagnosis of what flavor of resistance is stopping you, a 2-minute launch move matched to it, a literal countdown into action, and a bare-minimum win definition — designed to convert avoidance into motion in the next 120 seconds, not to make a plan for later.

The 2-Minute Launch

Some tasks you've avoided for days aren't hard — they're un-started, and every day of avoidance adds dread. Planning more doesn't help; launching does. This diagnoses what's actually blocking you (boredom? fear? fuzziness?), gives a 2-minute move matched to it, and counts you into motion right now. The goal isn't a schedule — it's you, in action, within the next two minutes.

What This Skill Produces

  • The resistance diagnosis — what's actually stopping you (it's boring / scary / unclear / feels huge / perfectionism), because the launch depends on the flavor
  • The matched launch move — a 2-minute action that dissolves that specific resistance
  • A countdown into action — a literal "5-4-3-2-1, go" so there's no gap for the resistance to reassert
  • The minimum win — the tiniest version that counts as "started," so success is guaranteed
  • No planning — this is a launch, not a plan for later

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The thing — what you keep not starting
  • How long you've avoided it — hours, days, weeks
  • What you think is stopping you — your honest guess
  • How much time you have right now — even two minutes is enough

Framework: Diagnose, Match, Count In

  1. Name the resistance flavor. Boredom, fear, fuzziness ("I don't know how"), overwhelm ("it's huge"), or perfectionism each block differently — identify which.
  2. Match the launch to it. Boring → make it a game/timer; scary → do the safest tiny piece; fuzzy → the launch is just "write the first question"; huge → the smallest visible dent; perfectionism → "do it badly on purpose."
  3. Define the minimum win. The tiniest thing that counts as started, so the next 2 minutes can't fail.
  4. Count into motion. A literal countdown to go — leaving no pause for the resistance to talk you out of it.
  5. Stay in launch mode. No planning, scheduling, or optimizing — the only job is to be moving in 120 seconds.

Output Format

You keep not starting: [the thing] · avoided for [time]

What's actually blocking you: [boredom / fear / fuzziness / overwhelm / perfectionism]. Your 2-minute launch: [the matched move]. Minimum win (guaranteed): [the tiniest "started" counts].

👉 Ready? 5… 4… 3… 2… 1 — go. Do the launch move now. Report back in 2 minutes.

Quality Checks

  • Diagnoses the specific flavor of resistance
  • The launch move is matched to that resistance
  • A guaranteed minimum win is defined
  • It counts the person into immediate action
  • It launches now — no planning for later

Anti-Patterns

  • Making a plan/schedule instead of launching.
  • A generic "just do it" ignoring the resistance type.
  • A launch move that's still too big.
  • Leaving a gap for the resistance to win before starting.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "I've been putting off this call for a week — help me finally do it."
  • "I can't make myself start the assignment. Launch me."
  • "I keep avoiding the gym. Get me moving now."
  • "Help me finally start writing this thing."
  • "2-minute launch for cleaning my room."
