fear-setting
Skill1 starsChanged 6 months agoLicence not identifiedView on GitHub
Run Tim Ferriss's fear-setting exercise from chapter 3 of The 4-Hour Workweek. Use when the user is stuck on a decision, putting off a big move, considering quitting their job, considering starting a business, considering a hard conversation, or any time they say "I'm scared to," "what if I fail," "I should but I can't," "I keep putting this off," "I don't know if I should," "I'm overthinking this," or "I keep going back and forth on it." Replaces traditional pros-and-cons or goal-setting for high-stakes, fear-driven decisions. Often run after dreamlining on the dream the user flagged as scariest. For mindset reinforcement, see new-rich-rules. For "what do I want" rather than "what's stopping me," see dreamlining.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
The licence could not be identified — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
