What it does

The Worry Decompiler is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Turn an anxious spiral into a concrete list — separate the specific worries from the vague dread, sort what you can act on from what you can't, and get one action. Use when asked help me with my anxiety spiral, I can't stop worrying about, my mind won't stop racing, or break down what I'm anxious about. Produces the swirling worry pulled apart into named, specific concerns, each sorted into can-act-on vs can't-control vs not-actually-likely, a single action for the actionable ones, and a way to set down the rest…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Security, covering Reverse engineering and malware. 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 help me with my anxiety spiral
  • I cant stop worrying about
  • My mind wont stop racing
  • Break down what Im anxious about

Example prompts

  • “t stop worrying about, my mind won”
  • “/the-worry-decompiler”

  1. Break the fog into items. Get the spiral out and split it into specific, separately-named worries — a vague dread can't be addressed; a…

  3. Convert the actionable to a task. For can-act-on worries, one concrete next step turns a worry into a to-do, which drains its power.

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 Worry Decompiler loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 585 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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
Turn an anxious spiral into a concrete list — separate the specific worries from the vague dread, sort what you can act on from what you can't, and get one action. Use when asked help me with my anxiety spiral, I can't stop worrying about, my mind won't stop racing, or break down what I'm anxious about. Produces the swirling worry pulled apart into named, specific concerns, each sorted into can-act-on vs can't-control vs not-actually-likely, a single action for the actionable ones, and a way to set down the rest — because a spiral is fog, and a list is manageable. Not therapy.

The Worry Decompiler

A worry spiral is one giant, formless dread looping on itself — impossible to act on because it's not a thing, it's a fog. This decompiles it: pulls the swirl apart into specific, named worries, sorts each into what you can actually do something about vs. what you can't control vs. what isn't even likely, hands you one action for the actionable, and helps you set down the rest. A list is manageable in a way a spiral never is. It's a structuring tool, not therapy.

What This Skill Produces

  • The spiral, itemized — the vague dread broken into specific, named worries (fog → list)
  • The sort — each worry into 🟢 can act on · 🟡 can't control · 🔴 not actually likely
  • One action — for the can-act-on worries, a single concrete next step (worry converts to task)
  • A way to release the rest — for the can't-control and not-likely ones, a way to set them down instead of gripping them
  • A grounding option — a simple technique to interrupt the physical spiral if it's acute
  • A boundary — a structuring aid, not therapy; a nudge to real support if anxiety is frequent or overwhelming

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • What's swirling — everything on your mind, however jumbled (dump it)
  • The peak worry — the loudest one, if there is one
  • How acute — a background hum or a full racing-heart spiral
  • How often this happens — occasional or frequent (frequent → gently point to support)

Framework: Decompile, Sort, Act, Release

  1. Break the fog into items. Get the spiral out and split it into specific, separately-named worries — a vague dread can't be addressed; a named worry can.
  2. Sort by control. Each worry into: can act on, can't control, or not actually likely — most spirals are mostly the last two masquerading as the first.
  3. Convert the actionable to a task. For can-act-on worries, one concrete next step turns a worry into a to-do, which drains its power.
  4. Release the rest. For can't-control and unlikely worries, offer a way to set them down (name that worrying won't change them; a "parked" list; a scheduled worry-time).
  5. Ground if acute. If the spiral is physical, offer a simple grounding technique. And hold the boundary — this structures anxiety, it doesn't treat it.

Output Format

The spiral (itemized): [each specific worry, named]

Sorted

  • 🟢 Can act on: [worry → the one action].
  • 🟡 Can't control: [worry → set it down: worrying won't change it].
  • 🔴 Not actually likely: [worry → name the distortion].

👉 The one action: [concrete next step for the top actionable worry]. If it's physical right now: [a simple grounding technique].

A way to make anxiety manageable, not therapy. If the spirals are frequent or overwhelming, please talk to someone you trust or a professional.

Quality Checks

  • Breaks the fog into specific, named worries
  • Sorts each by control (act / can't / unlikely)
  • Converts actionable worries into one concrete step
  • Offers a way to release the uncontrollable/unlikely ones
  • Includes a grounding option for acute spirals
  • Holds a not-therapy boundary and points to support if frequent

Anti-Patterns

  • Treating the whole spiral as one thing instead of itemizing.
  • "Just don't worry" — useless and dismissive.
  • A big action plan when one step is what's needed.
  • Trying to solve the can't-control worries.
  • Playing therapist on frequent/overwhelming anxiety.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "I'm spiraling and can't stop worrying — help me break it down."
  • "My mind won't stop racing about everything."
  • "Help me sort out what I'm actually anxious about."
  • "I'm overwhelmed with worry, none of it is clear."
  • "Decompile my anxiety into something I can deal with."
