What is focus-coach?
focus-coach is a specialized utility designed for AI agents and developers to systematically address procrastination and concentration lapses. By leveraging the scientifically validated B=MAP (Behavior = Motivation x Ability x Prompt) model, the skill analyzes a user's current situation, energy levels, and specific obstacles to pinpoint exactly why they are unable to focus. It is a core component for those building sophisticated workflows using Openclaw Skills that require human-in-the-loop productivity coaching.
Instead of providing generic advice, focus-coach delivers a single, hyper-specific intervention known as a tiny action. This action is designed to be completed in under 120 seconds, following the Tiny Habits methodology of anchoring a new behavior to an existing routine. This approach lowers the barrier to entry for difficult tasks, making it an essential tool for attention restoration and habit formation in digital environments.
focus-coach Use Cases
- Helping AI agents diagnose and assist users who report feeling distracted or stuck.
- Overcoming procrastination during complex development tasks by identifying the primary B=MAP blocker.
- Integrating automated productivity coaching into developer tools and coding environments.
- Restoring focus in high-pressure scenarios where energy levels are low and motivation is flagging.
How focus-coach Works
- The user or agent submits a description of the current situation and energy level to the focus-coach API.
- The skill analyzes the input against the BJ Fogg Behavior Design framework to identify the weakest link: Motivation, Ability, or Prompt.
- It generates a diagnostic report explaining the primary blocker (e.g., the task is too vague or the prompt is missing).
- A tiny action is calculated, providing a specific behavior, a duration (usually under 30 seconds), and a behavioral anchor.
- The skill provides an environment design tip to remove friction, such as closing unnecessary browser tabs.
