Budget limited energy the way spoon theory describes it — count your realistic daily 'spoons', price what each task actually costs (including the invisible ones), protect the non-negotiables, and plan for the days you'll have far fewer. Use when someone says 'I only have so much energy', 'help me pace with my chronic illness', 'I keep crashing', or lives with ME/CFS, long COVID, fibromyalgia, POTS, MS, or any limited-capacity condition. Produces a spoon budget, a task price list, and a pacing plan that respects payback and post-exertional crashes. A self-management tool, not medical advice.

# Spoon Planner Skill

Spoon theory names what healthy people never have to think about: with a chronic
illness, energy is a finite daily allowance, every task costs from it, and
overspending isn't "pushing through" — it's borrowing against tomorrow at brutal
interest (the crash, the flare, post-exertional malaise). Standard productivity
advice assumes infinite spoons and actively harms here. This skill runs the actual
math: what you've got, what things cost, what's worth spending on, and how to plan
so a good day doesn't buy three bad ones. Pacing, not pushing.

## What This Skill Produces

- A **spoon budget**: your realistic daily allowance (which varies — the skill
  plans for the range, not a fantasy average) and how it shifts with sleep, flares,
