Turn an anxious spiral into a concrete list — separate the specific worries from the vague dread, sort what you can act on from what you can't, and get one action. Use when asked help me with my anxiety spiral, I can't stop worrying about, my mind won't stop racing, or break down what I'm anxious about. Produces the swirling worry pulled apart into named, specific concerns, each sorted into can-act-on vs can't-control vs not-actually-likely, a single action for the actionable ones, and a way to set down the rest — because a spiral is fog, and a list is manageable. Not therapy.

# The Worry Decompiler

A worry spiral is one giant, formless dread looping on itself — impossible to act on because it's not a thing, it's a fog. This decompiles it: pulls the swirl apart into specific, named worries, sorts each into what you can actually do something about vs. what you can't control vs. what isn't even likely, hands you one action for the actionable, and helps you set down the rest. A list is manageable in a way a spiral never is. It's a structuring tool, not therapy.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The spiral, itemized** — the vague dread broken into specific, named worries (fog → list)
- **The sort** — each worry into 🟢 can act on · 🟡 can't control · 🔴 not actually likely
- **One action** — for the can-act-on worries, a single concrete next step (worry converts to task)
- **A way to release the rest** — for the can't-control and not-likely ones, a way to set them down instead of gripping them
- **A grounding option** — a simple technique to interrupt the physical spiral if it's acute
- **A boundary** — a structuring aid, not therapy; a nudge to real support if anxiety is frequent or overwhelming
