Stress Relief

Manage stress with quick techniques, stress logging, and recovery tools

Security Scan

The skill's description and runtime instructions mostly match a stress-relief helper, but it makes unimplemented/unspecified claims about automatic logging, pattern analysis, and 'local-only' storage without any mechanism — that's vague and deserves clarification before use.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description align with the SKILL.md content (breathing exercises, logs, trend summaries). However, the skill promises 'automatic tracking' and 'pattern recognition' but provides no instructions, storage location, or required permissions to perform this. The 'All data stays local' claim is unsubstantiated in an instruction-only skill with no install or storage spec.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md stays within the stated domain (techniques, logging, summaries) and does not instruct access to system files, environment variables, or external endpoints. But it is vague/open-ended about how logs are created, where they are stored, and how pattern recognition is performed — this gives the agent broad discretion to ask for or collect user data without clear limits.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk form. Nothing will be written to disk by an installer.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. No disproportionate credential access is requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request elevated/system-wide persistence. Model invocation is enabled (the normal default); combined with the vagueness about data handling this is worth noting but not by itself a concern.

What to consider before installing

This skill appears to be a legitimate stress-relief assistant, but it is vague about how it logs and analyzes your data. Before installing or using it regularly, ask the author or vendor: (1) Where are stress logs stored (file path, app storage, or not persisted)? (2) Is any data ever sent to external servers or third-party APIs? (3) How are weekly summaries generated and where are they computed? If you cannot get clear answers, avoid entering sensitive personal details into the skill. Because it claims 'automatic tracking' and 'local-only' storage without specifying mechanisms, treat data you provide as potentially exposed until guaranteed otherwise. If you need to use the skill, prefer manual logging of non-sensitive summaries and avoid pasting crisis-level or highly personal info into prompts — follow the crisis guidance included in the skill and contact professionals for emergencies.

Reclaim calm in minutes, not hours. Quick techniques, stress insights, and recovery tools built right into your workflow.

What it does

• Quick relief: Breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, immediate grounding techniques
• Stress logging: Automatic tracking of stress events with context and intensity
• Pattern recognition: Identify triggers, peak stress times, and recurring stressors
• Recovery tools: Guided decompression, breaks, and boundary-setting prompts
• Trend analysis: Weekly summaries of stress levels and improvement areas

Usage

Quick Relief

Trigger immediate stress-busting techniques when you need it fast.

• 60-second breathing exercise (4-7-8 technique)
• 2-minute progressive muscle relaxation
• 5-minute grounding (5 senses method)

Log Stress

Record stress events as they happen or reflect at the end of your day.

• Intensity level (1-10)
• What triggered it
• Physical symptoms
• Context (work, personal, health, etc)

Identify Triggers

Find patterns in what's causing stress without judgment.

• Most common triggers this week
• Time-of-day patterns
• Situations that escalate stress most
• Recurring vs. one-time stressors

Decompress

Guided recovery after high-stress periods.

• Progressive wind-down sequences
• Boundary-setting reminders
• Post-stress reflection prompts
• Recovery mode activation

Review Patterns

Weekly insights on your stress landscape.

• Stress trend (up/down/stable)
• Top 3 triggers this week
• Improvement areas to focus on
• Recovery success rate

Techniques

Breathing - 4-7-8 technique: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Signals your nervous system to calm down.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation - Tense and release muscle groups from toes to head. Takes 2 minutes, breaks the stress cycle physically.

Quick Walks - 5 minutes outside or around your space. Movement + fresh air reset cortisol levels fast.

Brain Dump - Write everything on your mind without filtering. Gets it out of your head and onto a page where you can process it.

Boundaries - Say no to non-essential tasks during high-stress periods. Protect your capacity before it's gone.

Tips

• Start small - One technique is better than none. Master breathing first, add others later.
• Log consistently - Even 30 seconds of note-taking reveals patterns you can't see in real time.
• Use triggers as alerts - If you notice escalating stress, shift to quick relief before it compounds.
• Recovery is active - Don't wait to feel better; use decompression tools to actively lower stress.
• All data stays local on your machine - No cloud syncing, no external servers. Your stress patterns are yours alone.
