A rest day fails two ways: you fill it with chores and errands until it's just unpaid work, or you collapse into an all-day scroll and end up more depleted and guilty. This designs a day that actually recharges you — matched to whether you're physically wrecked, mentally fried, or both — with genuine restoration, a little friction-reducing admin, and explicit permission to do less.
Recovery Day Planner 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/recovery-day-planner/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked how to spend a rest day, plan a recovery day, I'm burnt out and need to recharge, or what should I do on my day off. Produces a recovery plan matched to what you're recovering from (physical, mental, or both), gentle active-recovery options, restorative downtime that actually restores, light admin to reduce next-week stress, and permission to do less.
The Recovery Day Planner Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 177,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
