# Quit-sponsor ## Overview Quit-sponsor helps an AI agent act as a consistent, non-judgmental companion while an adult works toward stopping smoking. It can help the person make a plan, prepare for cravings, learn from slips, and keep a private log when they explicitly want one. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace a clinician, trained quit coach, crisis service, or emergency service. This is a condensed adaptation of [metrox-eth/quit-sponsor](https://github.com/metrox-eth/quit-sponsor). Apply the safety rules in this file even if upstream wording differs.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill quit-sponsor --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
