Decision When Tired

Q: How do I know the Decision When Tired output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Leads with "can this wait?" as the primary move; Flags the specific tired-brain distortions at play; Biases toward reversible options if a choice is forced; Offers a simple rule instead of demanding analysis.

Make a decent decision when you're too depleted to think well — a low-energy protocol that protects you from bad tired-brain choices. Use when asked I'm too tired to decide, help me choose I'm exhausted, I can't think straight right now, or should I even decide this now. Produces a first check on whether this decision can simply wait until you're rested, and if not, a minimal-effort path to a safe-enough choice (default to reversible, avoid the tired-brain traps, use a simple rule) — because decisions made depleted are predictably worse, and the best move is often not to make them now.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“I'm exhausted and need to decide something — help.”“Should I even make this decision tonight?”“I can't think straight but I have to choose. Help me not mess it up.”“I'm fried — is this a decide-now or a decide-later?”“Help me pick something safe, I'm too tired to think.”

What to give it

▸The decision — what you're trying to choose

▸The real deadline — does it truly need deciding now, or does it just feel that way

▸How depleted you are — mildly tired or completely fried

▸Reversibility — can the choice be undone or changed later

✅ 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.

✓Leads with "can this wait?" as the primary move

✓Flags the specific tired-brain distortions at play

✓Biases toward reversible options if a choice is forced

✓Offers a simple rule instead of demanding analysis

✓Explicitly defers major/irreversible decisions

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Demanding careful analysis** from a fried brain.

**Not offering the "just wait"** option first.

**Letting a big irreversible choice** get made while depleted.

**Ignoring how exhaustion** is skewing the choice.
