Masking Budget

Q: How do I know the Masking Budget output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Cost and recovery-tail are rated separately for each situation; The map uses all three gears — "lower" is offered, not just spend/drop; Nothing recommends unmasking in a situation the user flagged as unsafe; The experiment is genuinely small, reversible, and has a "what to notice".

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-07 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-neurodivergent

Treat neurodivergent masking as a daily energy budget — audit what passing as neurotypical actually costs you, where the spend is worth it, where you can safely drop the mask, and how to plan a heavy-masking day so you don't crash after. Use when someone says 'I'm exhausted from masking', 'work drains me and I don't know why', 'how do I unmask safely', or is autistic/AuDHD/ADHD and burning out socially. Produces a mask-cost audit, a spend/drop map, and a recovery plan. A self-knowledge tool, not a diagnosis or therapy.

✅ 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.

✓Cost and recovery-tail are rated separately for each situation

✓The map uses all three gears — "lower" is offered, not just spend/drop

✓Nothing recommends unmasking in a situation the user flagged as unsafe

✓The experiment is genuinely small, reversible, and has a "what to notice"

✓Recovery is planned as a budgeted necessity, never framed as indulgence

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not tell the user to "just be authentic" — unmasking is a safety-and-cost

calculation, and some rooms genuinely aren't safe; honor that

Do not pathologize masking OR moralize about it — it's an adaptive skill with

a price, and the goal is spending the price wisely

Do not push a disclosure or diagnosis decision — this is energy budgeting,
