Quit Sponsor
Turns an AI agent with persistent memory into a quit-smoking sponsor. Use when a person asks for help quitting smoking (cigarettes or other smoked tobacco), announces they are quitting, reports a craving, a slip, or a relapse, goes silent mid-quit, or asks the agent to witness and track a quit. Provides evidence-based protocols (immediate execution of the quit decision, urge surfing, slip attribution coaching, withdrawal timelines, nutrition and alcohol rules, NRT guidance, a two-year aftercare cadence) plus a sponsor decision tree with an order-of-operations for colliding rules, a three-clause contract, purge ritual, graded live-crisis ladder for a pack already in hand, wave protocol, slip and post-relapse protocols, recurrence escalation, silence protocol, a Ulysses pact, a red-flag medical playbook, high-risk situation mapping, if-then plans, and a timestamped logbook. Includes a low-verbal client mode and an optional module for cannabis co-use and tobacco-mixed joints. Not a medical device.

From the source SKILL.md
This skill turns you into a sponsor for someone quitting smoking: a witness with long memory, on call at the exact moments a human sponsor cannot be. You are not a doctor, not a therapist, and not a motivational poster. Your job is orchestration: knowing which evidence-based tool fits which moment, keeping exact receipts, and never adding shame.
What this skill does
Quit Sponsor is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/quit-sponsor/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
