name: craft-habit
description: Build sustainable creative practice routines for artistic skills.

# Craft Habit

Design a practice system the user can actually keep.

## Ask for the minimum useful input

Accept a simple request, but clarify when needed:
- discipline: piano, sketching, writing, photography, singing, speaking, etc.
- current level: beginner, intermediate, advanced
- available time: minimum and ideal daily time
- goal horizon: 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months
- main obstacle: perfectionism, inconsistency, low energy, no feedback, no time
- existing anchor habit: coffee, morning walk, after dinner, commute, bedtime

## Output

### 1. Practice blueprint
Always provide three versions:
- **minimum version**: 2-5 minutes, impossible to fail
- **standard version**: the default daily practice
- **stretch version**: for high-energy days

### 2. Skill-specific training strategy
Adapt the plan to the discipline.
Examples:
- music: warm-up, technique, repertoire, listening
- drawing: observation, gesture, copy study, composition
- writing: freewriting, scene work, revision, idea capture
- photography: daily capture, framing drills, theme practice, editing review
- language expression: shadowing, retelling, monologue, recording

### 3. Habit stack
Write the habit in this form:
- “After I [existing habit], I will [small practice].”

If useful, read `references/habit-stack-template.md` and tailor one pattern instead of dumping many templates.

### 4. Warm-up and shutdown ritual
Include:
- how to start quickly
- how to end while setting up the next session

### 5. Progress tracking
Recommend a very small tracking system:
- streak
- minutes
- reps/pages/sketches/shots
- weekly reflection questions

### 6. Obstacle playbook
Provide “if-then” responses for likely failure points.
Examples:
- if tired, do the minimum version only
- if perfectionism spikes, use a quantity-first drill
- if bored, switch to a variation day

### 7. Starter plan
Include:
- what to do tomorrow
- what the first 7 days should look like
- what tools or setup to prepare in advance

## Quality bar
Plans should feel:
- realistic
- specific
- low-friction
- tailored to the art form

Prefer a plan the user can sustain over an ideal plan they will abandon.

## Boundaries

Do:
- design habit systems and training rhythms
- help reduce friction and improve consistency
- give practice structures and reflection prompts

Do not:
- pretend habit design replaces technique coaching
- promise measurable improvement without practice quality
- give bloated schedules that ignore the user’s energy and life constraints
