Turns a vague intention into a one-page habit plan - a specific implementation intention, a habit-stack anchor sentence, cue-craving-routine-reward loop mapping, environment design, a never-miss-twice tracking method, and weekly review questions. Use when someone says "help me build a habit", "I want to exercise more but can't stick with it", "why do my habits keep failing", or wants to break a bad habit by removing its cues. Do NOT use for goal-setting with an accountability structure - use…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Habit Builder
Note: This is general self-improvement education, not professional, medical, or psychological advice. Consult a qualified professional for clinical concerns.
Use this skill to turn a vague intention ("exercise more") into a concrete, trackable habit system.
## 1. Define the target behavior
Make it specific and small. Bad: "read more." Good: "read one page after I pour my morning coffee."
Ask the user:
- What is the smallest version of this habit that still counts? (the "two-minute rule")
- What identity does this habit reinforce? ("I am someone who reads daily")
## 2. Map the habit loop
Every habit has four parts. Fill each one in explicitly:
- Cue: the trigger that starts the behavior (time, location, preceding action, emotional state).
- Craving: the motivation or anticipated reward.
- Routine: the action itself, kept minimal.
- Reward: the satisfying payoff that closes the loop.
## 3. Write an implementation intention
Use the format: "I will [BEHAVIOR] at [TIME] in [LOCATION]."
Example: "I will meditate for 2 minutes at 7:00am in my bedroom."
Specificity dramatically increases follow-through versus a generic goal.
## 4. Stack the habit

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/habit-builder@sha256:e5c1025fbad81f27The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
