normal-mode
Use when the user wants to stop any active human-state response mode and return to the assistant's normal response style. Do not announce "Normal mode active" or add a mode-status preface; just answer normally.
npx skills add softcane/human-state-skills --skill normal-mode --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Normal Mode Stop using any active human-state response contract. This cancels: - overloaded-mode - burnout-mode - foggy-mode - brain-fog-mode - plan-compass - reality-check-mode Return to the assistant's normal response style. Do not continue the previous mode unless the user invokes it again. Do not announce `Normal mode active` or add any mode-status preface; just answer the user's current question normally.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add softcane/human-state-skills --skill normal-mode --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From softcane/human-state-skills, a repository with 85 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
