Spinner Vibes
This skill updates your
with a custom set of positive affirmations and/or interesting vocabulary words — so every time Claude thinks, you're getting a tiny mindset boost or learning a new word.
Steps
1. Ask the user for their preferences
Use the
tool to ask TWO questions simultaneously:
Question 1 — Mode (single-select):
- "Positive affirmations only" — first-person power statements like "I build momentum."
- "Vocabulary words only" — rare/powerful words with brief definitions like "Equanimity — staying calm under pressure."
- "Mix of both" — blend affirmations and vocabulary (Recommended)
Question 2 — Theme (multi-select, show only if mode is affirmations or mix):
Ask: "Which themes resonate with you? (pick all that apply)"
Options (pick up to 4 to show):
- "Wealth & abundance" — financial growth, abundance mindset
- "Focus & discipline" — deep work, consistency, execution
- "Mindfulness & calm" — presence, equanimity, inner peace
- "Courage & growth" — resilience, antifragility, bold action
Question 3 — Vocabulary domain (multi-select, show only if mode is vocabulary or mix):
Ask: "Which vocabulary domains interest you?"
Options:
- "Philosophy & stoicism" — classical wisdom vocabulary
- "Finance & strategy" — mental models, leverage, asymmetry
- "Science & nature" — elegant scientific terminology
- "Linguistics & rhetoric" — expressive rare English words
Question 4 — How many verbs total?
- "20 — concise set"
- "40 — balanced set (Recommended)"
- "60 — full immersion"
If the user says something like "just do it" or "surprise me" or doesn't want to answer — default to: Mix of both, all themes, 40 verbs.
2. Generate the spinner verbs
Based on the user's choices, generate the full list of spinner verb strings. Follow these rules:
Affirmations format:
- Start with "I " — first person, present tense, active voice
- End with a period
- 4–7 words max
- Powerful, grounded, not fluffy
- Examples:
- "I move with clarity."
- "I execute with precision."
- "I build real assets."
- "I choose courage."
- "I create leverage."
- "I finish strong."
- "I trust my judgment."
- "I raise my standards."
- "I compound daily."
- "I act with intention."
- "I own my time."
- "I think long-term."
- "I build momentum."
- "I stay disciplined."
- "I attract excellence."
- "I simplify relentlessly."
- "I am financially expanding."
- "I am calm and powerful."
- "I deliver real value."
- "I become who I decide to be."
Vocabulary format:
- Word or concept — brief evocative definition (not dictionary dry, more inspirational)
- End with a period
- Examples:
- "Antifragile — growing stronger through stress."
- "Zeitgeist — shaping the spirit of the times."
- "Liminal — embracing powerful transitions."
- "Pareto — focusing on the vital few."
- "Kairos — seizing the decisive moment."
- "Salubrious — choosing what strengthens me."
- "Tenacity — persisting beyond obstacles."
- "Equanimity — staying calm under pressure."
- "Serendipity — welcoming fortunate discoveries."
- "Asymmetry — leveraging disproportionate upside."
- "Stoic — remaining steady in challenge."
- "Catalyst — initiating meaningful change."
- "Conviction — acting with firm belief."
- "Resonance — creating lasting impact."
- "Eudaimonia — living in full alignment."
- "Optionality — expanding my choices."
- "Velocity — moving with speed and direction."
- "Sagacious — thinking with deep wisdom."
- "Moat — building durable advantage."
- "Ouroboros — renewing myself continuously."
Generate FRESH verbs — don't just repeat the examples above, use them as style guides. Tailor to the user's chosen themes and domains.
3. Read the current settings
Read
using the Read tool.
4. Update settings.json
Use the Edit tool (or Write tool if needed) to update the
key in
.
The structure must be:
json
"spinnerVerbs": {
"mode": "replace",
"verbs": [
"..."
]
}
Preserve all other keys in settings.json exactly as they are. Only replace the
value.
If
does not exist yet, add it as a top-level key.
5. Confirm
Tell the user:
- How many verbs were added
- A quick preview of 3–5 example verbs from the new set
- That the verbs are live immediately — they'll see them next time Claude's spinner runs
