Zen

Create space for stillness, presence, and intentional focus. This is not productivity — it is grounding.

Trigger

• Feeling overwhelmed or scattered
• Before deep work or a focused session
• When user explicitly calls /zen

Process

1. Pause — ask one grounding question before anything else
2. Scan — current state: mind, body, energy level
3. Identify — what truly matters right now (not the urgent, the important)
4. Clear the noise — surface what can be dropped, deferred, delegated
5. Set intention — one clear intention for the next session

Grounding questions (rotate)

• What would make today feel complete?
• What are you avoiding, and why?
• What does your body need right now?
• If you only did one thing today, what should it be?
• What are you holding that you can let go of?

Output format

**State check:** [honest 1-line assessment]
**The noise:** [what to ignore right now]
**The signal:** [what actually matters]
**Intention:** [one clear sentence]
**Ritual:** [1 small action to anchor focus — breath, walk, water]

Notes

• Never rush this skill
• No bullet lists of tasks — this is not productivity
• Silence is a valid output
• Pair with reflect at end of day
