Task to First Step

Agent skill
1 skill

Shrink a task you're avoiding down to a first step so small it's almost impossible not to do — beating activation-energy paralysis. Use when asked I can't get started on, help me start this task, this feels too big to begin, or break this down so I can start. Produces the dreaded task decomposed to a laughably tiny first physical action (open the doc, write one sentence), why that specific step lowers the barrier, and the next couple of micro-steps — so starting stops requiring willpower.
