github/awesome-copilot

Anxiety-aware, evidence-driven collaboration for stalled or high-stakes work when a user says uncertainty, repeated setbacks, or lack of visible progress is causing significant anxiety or distress. Use immediately when explicitly invoked; when this fit is only inferred from the user's own account, ask permission before applying it. Preserve the user's ideal and turn grounded perspective-taking into persistent, bounded problem solving. Do not use to diagnose, provide therapy, manufacture certainty, or lower goals for reassurance.

modern-drug-rehab-computer

FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills

Comprehensive knowledge system for addiction recovery environments, supporting both residential and outpatient (IOP/PHP) patients. Expert in evidence-based treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, MI, EMDR, MAT), recovery resources, coping strategies, crisis intervention, family systems, and holistic wellness. Activate on "rehab", "addiction recovery", "substance abuse", "treatment center", "IOP", "PHP", "detox", "sobriety support", "MAT", "Suboxone", "methadone", "12 step", "SMART Recovery".

blue-collar-mental-health

LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills

Mental health support designed for workers in trades, service, and physical occupations. Use when someone in a physical job is struggling with stress, substance use, anger, isolation, or burnout and traditional mental health resources feel inaccessible.

aging-parent-talks

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Prepare the conversations with aging parents that everyone postpones — the driving talk, the money talk, the care-options talk, the moving talk — each with an opener that doesn't ambush, a dignity-first script, rehearsal against realistic resistance, and the fallback when it goes badly. Use when someone says 'I need to talk to my dad about driving', 'my mum won't discuss her finances', 'we need to talk about care', or is dreading a visit for exactly this reason. Produces the conversation plan, a rehearsal, and the small-steps fallback. A preparation tool, not family therapy — and it says so when the situation needs more.

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Prepare the conversations with aging parents that everyone postpones — the driving talk, the money talk, the care-options talk, the moving talk — each with an opener that doesn't ambush, a dignity-first script, rehearsal against realistic resistance, and the fallback when it goes badly. Use when someone says 'I need to talk to my dad about driving', 'my mum won't discuss her finances', 'we need to talk about care', or is dreading a visit for exactly this reason. Produces the conversation plan, a rehearsal, and the small-steps fallback. A preparation tool, not family therapy — and it says so when the situation needs more.

boundary-setting-scripts

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Set a boundary with someone — a friend, family member, coworker, or partner — clearly and kindly, with the actual words and a plan for the pushback. Use when asked how do I set a boundary with, I need to say no to, someone keeps overstepping, or help me set limits with. Produces a read on the boundary you actually need, a warm-but-firm script to state it (without over-explaining or apologizing it away), how to hold it when they push back or guilt-trip, and what to do if they don't respect it — because a boundary you can't state and hold isn't a boundary.

caregiver-burnout-check

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Check whether you're burning out as a caregiver — and get a realistic plan to protect yourself before you can't keep going. Use when asked I'm exhausted from caregiving, am I burning out caring for my parent, caregiver stress help, or I have nothing left to give. Produces an honest read on your burnout signs and how depleted you are, permission and reasons to accept help (which caregivers resist), specific ways to get support and respite, the guilt and identity traps to address, and a realistic self-care plan that fits a caregiver's actual life — because a caregiver who collapses can't care for anyone. Not medical or mental-health treatment.

co-parenting-messages

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Write calm, businesslike co-parenting messages that keep the focus on the kids and stay out of the old conflict — for scheduling, expenses, decisions, and hard topics. Use when asked to write a message to my co-parent, respond to my ex about the kids, co-parenting communication help, or how to reply without a fight. Produces a message drafted in a neutral, child-centered tone (the 'BIFF'-style brief/informative/friendly/firm approach), the bait removed, a clear ask or answer, and a note on documentation — steering away from anything that escalates. Not legal advice.

condolence-message-helper

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Write a sincere condolence or sympathy message when someone has died or a friend is grieving — warm, personal, and free of the clichés that hurt more than help. Use when asked what to say when someone dies, write a sympathy/condolence message, my friend lost their [person], or I don't know what to say. Produces a heartfelt message tuned to your relationship and the situation, drawn from a specific memory or quality where possible, an honest acknowledgment (not toxic-positive platitudes), an offer of concrete support, and guidance on what to avoid saying.

dependency-check

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Honestly measure how dependent you've become on a tool, app, substance-free habit, or even AI itself — and reclaim the capability you've outsourced. Use when asked am I too reliant on, help me check my dependence on, could I function without, or I feel like I can't do anything without X. Produces a candid read on where the reliance actually is, a low-stakes test to measure it (go without, briefly), what capability has atrophied, and a plan to rebuild the muscle — because unmeasured dependence is the dangerous kind, and the fix starts with noticing.

end-of-life-wishes-conversation

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Have the conversation about someone's end-of-life wishes — before a crisis forces it — gently, respectfully, and thoroughly enough to actually guide decisions later. Use when asked how do I talk about end-of-life wishes, discuss my parent's wishes, advance care planning conversation, or ask about their medical and final wishes. Produces a way to open this hard conversation without it feeling morbid or forced, the areas to cover (medical wishes, care preferences, where they want to be, what matters to them, practical/legal), how to listen rather than impose, and how to document and share what's decided — so their wishes are known and honored. Not legal or medical advice.

kids-online-safety-plan

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Build an age-appropriate online-safety plan for a child — the settings, the agreements, and the conversations — that protects without just spying or banning everything. Use when asked to keep my kid safe online, parental controls setup, my child's online safety, or screen rules for kids. Produces an age-tuned plan covering device/platform settings, a family agreement, the ongoing conversations that matter more than any filter, warning signs to watch for, and how to respond to trouble — balancing safety with trust and independence.

long-term-care-options

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Understand the long-term care options for an older or ill loved one — from in-home care to assisted living to nursing care — so you can compare them for your situation. Use when asked what are the care options for my parent, in-home care vs assisted living vs nursing home, help me choose a care option, or explain long-term care. Produces a plain-English explainer of the main care levels and what each is for, a match to the person's needs (care level, budget, preferences), the key questions and red flags when evaluating providers, cost and funding considerations to research, and how to involve the person in the decision — a map for one of the hardest, most emotional decisions a family makes. Not medical or financial advice.
