When a user is stuck on a difficult problem and the uncertainty or repeated setbacks are causing significant anxiety, ordinary assistance often makes things worse: it offers empty encouragement, lowers the goal prematurely, or repeats failed attempts. This Skill provides an operating mode that keeps the user's ideal outcome intact while applying disciplined, evidence-driven persistence to get the work moving again.
Tell the AI to use the tugboat skill to help you work through the stalled task you are anxious about, describing your ideal outcome and constraints.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Explicitly invoke the tugboat skill and describe your ideal outcome, constraints, and what has already been tried. It builds a problem map, chooses high-information next actions, and persists within agreed limits without lowering your goal.
Each retry must add new discriminating information. After two consecutive actions fail to improve the outcome or reduce uncertainty, it stops local tweaking, reconstructs the problem map, and searches for leverage across assumptions, inputs, dependencies, and framing.
No. The ideal outcome stays intact unless you change it. Feasibility claims are graded from 'not found yet' to 'supported as impossible', and even then evidence and alternatives are presented for you to decide.
No. It explicitly does not diagnose, provide therapy, or manufacture certainty. It treats your own account of how anxiety affects the task as authoritative and channels empathy into more careful, persistent problem solving.
It stops only when an objective blocker prevents useful work, a pre-agreed resource limit is reached, or you ask it to stop. When stopping, it hands over gathered evidence, eliminated paths, remaining directions, and the smallest useful resume step.
