Turns a vague intention into a one-page habit plan - a specific implementation intention, a habit-stack anchor sentence, cue-craving-routine-reward loop mapping, environment design, a never-miss-twice tracking method, and weekly review questions. Use when someone says "help me build a habit", "I want to exercise more but can't stick with it", "why do my habits keep failing", or wants to break a bad habit by removing its cues. Do NOT use for goal-setting with an accountability structure - use goals-accountability instead; for a full training program, use fitness-program.

# Habit Builder
Note: This is general self-improvement education, not professional, medical, or psychological advice. Consult a qualified professional for clinical concerns.
Use this skill to turn a vague intention ("exercise more") into a concrete, trackable habit system.
## 1. Define the target behavior
Make it specific and small. Bad: "read more." Good: "read one page after I pour my morning coffee."
Ask the user:
- What is the smallest version of this habit that still counts? (the "two-minute rule")
- What identity does this habit reinforce? ("I am someone who reads daily")
## 2. Map the habit loop
Every habit has four parts. Fill each one in explicitly:
- Cue: the trigger that starts the behavior (time, location, preceding action, emotional state).
- Craving: the motivation or anticipated reward.
- Routine: the action itself, kept minimal.
- Reward: the satisfying payoff that closes the loop.
