screen-time-detox
Cut compulsive screen and phone use with a workable plan — friction, environment, and replacement habits — instead of relying on willpower or deleting everything. Use when asked to reduce my screen time, I'm addicted to my phone, help me use my phone less, or a digital detox plan. Produces a read on your worst triggers, targeted friction and environment changes, replacement activities for the itch, boundary settings that stick, and a realistic goal — not an all-or-nothing purge that fails by Tuesday.

From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
