Body Double Session

Q: How do I know the Body Double Session output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The task is cut to an atom small enough that starting is nearly involuntary; The format is matched to the task type, not defaulted — talkers aren't; assigned to deep work; The partner ask is genuinely low-cost and easy to decline-or-accept, with.

Set up and run a body-doubling session — using another person's presence (in the room, on a call, or a chat check-in) to start and stay on the task your ADHD brain keeps bouncing off. Use when someone says 'I can't start this task', 'body double with me', 'I only work when someone's around', or has ADHD/executive-dysfunction and a task that won't begin. Produces a session plan, the exact ask to send a body-double partner, and a solo fallback for when no one's available.

What to give it

▸The task that won't start, and honestly why it's sticky — boring? ambiguous? scary? too big? all four?

▸Who might body double — (a friend, partner, an online coworking room, a coworker) and how comfortable the user is asking

▸What's worked before, if anything, and what killed past attempts — a chatty double who became a distraction is common

▸Time available and the environment they'll do it — in

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The task is cut to an atom small enough that starting is nearly involuntary

✓The format is matched to the task type, not defaulted — talkers aren't

✓assigned to deep work

✓The partner ask is genuinely low-cost and easy to decline-or-accept, with

✓reciprocity offered

✓A solo fallback exists — the skill still works when no human is available

✓There's a defined finish, so a session has a landing instead of trailing off

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not turn the double into a supervisor or accountability enforcer — presence

is the mechanism, judgment kills it

Do not assign a chatty format to focus work; social doubling and deep-work

doubling are different tools

Do not shame the user for needing this — body doubling is a legitimate,
