What it does

This skill gives the agent a structured way to help when your mind won't stop: it frames inner chatter as an out-of-control program rather than "you", suggests noticing and labelling each thought (fear, desire, or neutral) to create distance, and offers a simple daily sitting practice and a weekly journaling routine. It is adapted from Naval Ravikant's book and is meant as reflective guidance, not therapy.

Great for

  • People who ramble at night or ruminate on the same worry repeatedly
  • Beginners who want a simple, concrete way to start meditating
  • People trying to improve focus who are curious about a philosophical framing

Skip it if

  • Acute mental health crises or severe depression: the skill itself says to seek professional care first, since meditation cannot replace treatment
  • Situations needing immediate practical action, such as a deadline or emergency: observing thoughts can delay necessary action
  • Anyone expecting guaranteed results: the source warns that outcomes are individual and the daily-hour goal is demanding

Try asking

  • “My mind won't stop racing at night, can you help me calm it down?”
  • “I keep worrying about the same thing over and over. How do I break that loop?”
  • “How do I start meditating if I've never done it before?”
  • “Help me sort my anxious thoughts into fear-based, desire-based and neutral.”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • State clearly if you feel unsafe or in crisis so the agent points you to professional help rather than only meditation advice.
  • Start with 10 to 20 minutes of sitting rather than the book's one-hour goal.
  • Ask the agent to walk you through the thought-labelling exercise with a specific worry you have today.
