Individual skill
stress-management
Builds a personalized one-page stress toolkit - mapped triggers, three rehearsed in-the-moment interventions, a recovery menu, and prevention habits - from a week of trigger tracking. Use when someone says "I'm constantly stressed", "I can't switch off after work", "help me deal with anxiety before meetings", or "I keep snapping at people". General wellness education, not medical or mental-health treatment. Do NOT use when the primary complaint is poor sleep - use sleep-optimizer instead; for building a single recurring habit, use habit-builder; for broader life direction and goals, use life-coach.

# Stress Management
Generic advice ("try meditation, exercise more") fails because it is not matched to the person's actual triggers and is never rehearsed before the moment it is needed. This skill produces a one-page personal toolkit built from a week of real trigger data, so the user has three practiced interventions ready when stress spikes instead of a vague intention to relax.
## Operating procedure
Steps run in order because the toolkit must be built on observed triggers, not guessed ones - interventions chosen before the trigger log exists are the ones that get abandoned.
### Step 1: Gather inputs
Collect: main life domains in play (work, relationships, finances, health, uncertainty), current stress level (1-10) and how long it has been elevated, what has already been tried and what happened, sleep hours per night, caffeine intake and timing, and any existing diagnosis or therapy (if present, position this toolkit as a complement, never a replacement). If the user can only guess at their triggers, label those guesses as guesses and confirm them against the Step 2 log.
