Preface

When quitting smoking, reducing sugar, or cutting alcohol, the common practice is to use a habit-tracking app on your phone or jot down the days in a notepad. However, if you are primarily collaborating with Agents like Cursor or Claude Code, switching to another application breaks the flow; simply mentioning “I didn’t smoke today” in the conversation doesn’t guarantee the model will respond with progress, achievements, and health benefits according to a consistent set of rules.

Below is an introduction to the SkillHub community Skill “Quit Smoking & Sugar Tracker” (@user_70c2f807/quit-smokingsugar-tracker). It utilizes a universal SKILL.md convention to define when the Agent should intervene, how to set up a profile, and how to output a check-in panel, integrating withdrawal logs and motivational feedback into the same conversational flow.

What is this?

“Quit Smoking & Sugar Tracker” is a community Skill on SkillHub categorized under life-service. It is identified as @user_70c2f807/quit-smokingsugar-tracker, currently at version 1.0.0, sourced from the community, and published by user_70c2f807. The page notes requires_api_key=false, meaning no additional API Key is required after installation.

The Skill is designed to assist when users mention quitting smoking, sugar, alcohol, or tracking addictive habits. It helps record days of abstinence, provides continuous motivation through check-ins, achievement milestones, and health benefit timelines, and offers actionable coping steps when cravings arise. It explicitly disclaims usage for withdrawal therapy, medical intervention for addiction disorders, drug rehabilitation, or psychiatric medication scenarios.

Core Functions

The following capabilities are derived from the Skill’s SKILL.md description:

  1. Profile Setup & Baseline: Understands habit volume, frequency, trigger scenarios, and smoking history to set the withdrawal start date.
  2. Daily Check-in: Updates status and provides feedback based on the user’s report of persistence, cravings, or difficulties.
  3. Achievement System: Displays badge progress at milestones such as 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90, and 365 days.
  4. Health Benefit Timeline: Compares completed and pending items based on physical recovery stages after quitting smoking (descriptions are based on medical research, presented by the Agent according to Skill templates).
  5. Money Saving Calculation: Estimates the amount saved based on the consumption baseline provided by the user.
  6. Craving Coping & Relapse Support: Provides short-term coping strategies; handles relapse without criticism, assists in analyzing triggers, and restarts logging.
  7. Boundaries & FAQ: Distinguishes between sugar reduction (reducing added sugar) and medical-grade withdrawal; requires seeking medical attention for symptoms like tremors or sweating during alcohol withdrawal.

Important Limitations (The Skill requires the Agent to inform the user beforehand): It cannot provide automatic reminders or real-time supervision; severe addiction may require medical assistance; check-in data is stored only in the current conversation by default, and long-term retention requires the user to manually sync it with other habit-tracking tools.

Installation and Activation

Method 1: SkillHub CLI

First, ensure skillhub is installed on your local machine (see SkillHub Installation Documentation for installation instructions). When installing this Skill, you must use the --dir flag to point to the current Agent’s skills directory; otherwise, it may default to ./skills/ and not be recognized.

command -v skillhub && skillhub --version

skillhub install quit-smokingsugar-tracker --namespace user_70c2f807 --dir <skills directory>

Examples of skills directories for common Agents (consistent with official installation docs):

  • Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/
  • Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/
  • Codex: ~/.codex/skills/ or .agents/skills/ under the project

After installation, restart or refresh the Skill list according to your client’s requirements so the Agent can load SKILL.md.

Method 2: Ask the Agent to Install via Prompt

The installation prompt provided on the SkillHub page is: Ask the Agent to install @user_70c2f807/quit-smokingsugar-tracker based on https://skillhub.cn/install/skillhub.md. This is suitable for environments where you prefer to drive the installation process via natural language.

Typical Usage

The Skill takes effect under scenarios triggered by keywords such as: quit smoking, quit sugar, quit alcohol, quit smoking, quit sugar, addiction tracking, etc. Below are conversation examples (consistent with the official quick start, slightly compressed).

Starting Withdrawal

User: I want to start quitting smoking

The Agent follows Step 1 to ask for baseline information (e.g., daily count, smoking history) and confirms the start date.

Daily Check-in

User: Didn’t smoke today, checking in

The Agent updates the days of abstinence and outputs the check-in status, achievement progress, health benefits table, and money-saving estimate according to the template.

Craving Episode

User: What should I do if I really want to smoke?

The Agent explains that cravings usually last only a few minutes and provides specific steps such as deep breathing, drinking water, substitute behaviors, and returning to the conversation for help.

Relapse

User: I couldn’t hold back yesterday and smoked one

The Agent accepts the relapse according to the error handling table without invalidating previous persistence, assists in analyzing triggers, and restarts the count.

Formal responses will follow the Markdown structure specified by the Skill (including the “Quit Smoking Check-in” heading, start date, achievement list, health benefits table, coping strategy list, etc.). For complete field examples, refer to the “Output Format” section in the SKILL.md within the Skill package.

Applicable Scenarios & Notes

Who it is for

  • People already using Agents for daily collaboration who want their quit smoking, sugar reduction, or alcohol cessation records kept within the same conversational context.
  • Users who need structured progress feedback (days, achievements, health timeline, cost savings) rather than generic encouragement.

Who it is NOT for or requires professional help

  • Treatment for severe alcohol dependence withdrawal, drug addiction, medication dependence, gambling, or other behavioral addictions: The Skill indicates that medical attention or professional institutions are required; it cannot replace medical supervision.
  • Those expecting app-level push notifications or cross-device automatic syncing: This Skill relies on user-initiated check-ins, and records are valid only for the current conversation by default.
