Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

screen-detox scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

屏幕戒断与多巴胺管理

R — 原文 (Reading)

没有例外——所有屏幕活动都与更少幸福有关,所有非屏幕的活动都与更多的幸福联系在一起。……我只是整日吃着小多巴胺的零食。我得到了我小140字的多巴胺。我发推特,然后留意谁转推了我的推文。

— 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特, 《纳瓦尔宝典》 第二章·幸福

I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

屏幕内容(社交媒体/新闻/短视频/游戏)是精心设计的多巴胺零食: 用即时奖赏的长期后果(注意力涣散、幸福下降、焦虑升高)换短期快感。 戒断的逻辑不是靠意志力硬扛,而是: ① 承认机制——屏幕=用长期后果换短期利益(咖啡因同理),「所有屏幕活动都与更少幸福相关」; ② 识别替代——阳光、运动、积极思考、面对面交流是天然血清素来源,非屏幕活动与更多幸福相关; ③ 习惯替换五步——挑一件事→培养一个愿望→可视化→规划可持续道路→识别需求/触发/替代品→告诉朋友→仔细调查; ④ 环境设计——少用电话/日历/闹钟(三个让你重新回到数字世界循环的 app)。 现代斗争的真相:孤独的个体用非人的意志力,对抗大量科学家和统计学家设计的「垃圾食品、点击诱导新闻、无限色情、无尽游戏和上瘾药物」。

A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1: 从 Twitter 回到书籍

  • 问题: 沉迷推文多巴胺,意识到「我其实学不到任何东西」
  • 方法论的使用: 承认这是游戏,重新把书当博客读(无读完义务)
  • 结论: 「我意识到我必须回去读书」
  • 结果: 阅读重新回到他的生活

案例 2: 丢掉咖啡因与每天锻炼

  • 问题: 情绪不稳、幸福基线低
  • 方法论的使用: 戒咖啡因、每天锻炼、晒太阳、抬头微笑
  • 结论: 「我认为丢掉咖啡因使我更快乐。这使我变得更加稳重。」
  • 结果: 这些成为第二天性的幸福习惯

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 刷手机失控:「一刷就两小时,停不下来」
  2. 空虚感:「刷完更空虚/焦虑」
  3. 想戒某个坏习惯:「怎么戒短视频/游戏/零食」
  4. 想提升专注与幸福:「把时间还给自己」

语言信号

  • "我刷手机上瘾怎么办"
  • "怎么戒掉短视频/游戏/熬夜刷手机"
  • "感觉被算法控制"
  • "screen addiction / doomscrolling / dopamine detox"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • 与 reading-metaskill 的区别: 阅读是替代屏幕的深度输入,但戒断本身是本 skill 职责
  • 与 monkey-mind-meditation 的区别: 本 skill 管外部刺激源,冥想管内部杂念

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

  1. 量化当前屏幕消耗

    • 完成标准: 用屏幕时间统计记录 3 天,标出最痛的 1 个消费型 app/时段
  2. 做一个环境改造

    • 完成标准: 把该 app 移出首屏/卸载/设限额,物理隔离(手机放另一房间)
  3. 设计替代活动

    • 完成标准: 为每个触发时段(通勤/睡前/等饭)准备一个非屏幕替代(书/散步/面对面聊天)
  4. 对外承诺

    • 完成标准: 告诉 3 个朋友你的戒断目标,接受他们的监督
    • 判停条件: 若 7 天后复发 ≥3 次,缩小目标(如从「戒全部」改为「只戒睡前 1 小时」),不责备自己

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 用户靠屏幕工作谋生(区分工作屏幕与消费屏幕,别一刀切)
  • 用屏幕维持社交联系的孤独老人/异地关系(先保留必要联系)

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • 用意志力对抗设计好的武器: 「孤独的个体召唤非人的意志力……去对抗大量的科学家和统计学家」
  • 以为「看新闻=学习」: 新闻的工作是让你焦虑和生气

作者的盲点 / 时代局限

  • 「所有屏幕活动与更少幸福相关」是强断言,未区分社交连接型屏幕使用
  • 对必须用屏幕的现代职业缺乏解决方案

容易混淆的邻近方法论

  • reading-metaskill: 两者互补:戒屏幕→把时间给阅读

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
