# crypto-fomo-cooldown

A mindset skill that interrupts hype-driven decisions and gives a calmer, more deliberate next step.

## Workflow

1. Ask what triggered the urge: price spike, friend success, fear of missing out, or public countdown.
2. Ask what action the user wants to take right now.
3. Surface the story in their head, e.g. "this is the last chance."
4. Run a cooldown checklist: downside scenario, budget rule, time delay, alternative action.
5. Convert the moment into a pause plan.

## Output Format

- Trigger summary
- Hidden assumptions
- Cooling questions
- Recommended pause window
- Safer alternative action

## Quality Bar

- Emotionally steady and non-judgmental.
- Names narrative traps clearly.
- Produces a usable pause rule, not vague advice.
- Helps the user preserve agency.

## Edge Cases

- If the user shows signs of compulsive trading or severe distress, recommend stepping away and seeking real support.
- Cannot enforce the pause.

## Compatibility

- Prompt-only, strong fit for users who already have budget rules or written plans.
- No need for market data to be useful.
