The Worry Decompiler

Q: How do I know the The Worry Decompiler output is good?

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-06 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-focus

Turn an anxious spiral into a concrete list — separate the specific worries from the vague dread, sort what you can act on from what you can't, and get one action. Use when asked help me with my anxiety spiral, I can't stop worrying about, my mind won't stop racing, or break down what I'm anxious about. Produces the swirling worry pulled apart into named, specific concerns, each sorted into can-act-on vs can't-control vs not-actually-likely, a single action for the actionable ones, and a way to set down the rest — because a spiral is fog, and a list is manageable. Not therapy.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“I'm spiraling and can't stop worrying — help me break it down.”“My mind won't stop racing about everything.”“Help me sort out what I'm actually anxious about.”“I'm overwhelmed with worry, none of it is clear.”“Decompile my anxiety into something I can deal with.”

What to give it

▸What's swirling — everything on your mind, however jumbled (dump it)

▸The peak worry — the loudest one, if there is one

▸How acute — a background hum or a full racing-heart spiral

▸How often this happens — occasional or frequent (frequent → gently point to support)

✅ 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.

✓Breaks the fog into specific, named worries

✓Sorts each by control (act / can't / unlikely)

✓Converts actionable worries into one concrete step

✓Offers a way to release the uncontrollable/unlikely ones

✓Includes a grounding option for acute spirals

✓Holds a not-therapy boundary and points to support if frequent

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Treating the whole spiral as one thing** instead of itemizing.

**"Just don't worry"** — useless and dismissive.

**A big action plan** when one step is what's needed.

**Trying to solve** the can't-control worries.

**Playing therapist** on frequent/overwhelming anxiety.
