What this skill does
Quit-sponsor Overview Quit-sponsor helps an AI agent act as a consistent, non-judgmental companion while an adult works toward stopping smoking. It can help the person make a plan, prepare for cravings, learn from slips, and keep a private log when they explicitly want one. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace a clinician, trained quit coach, crisis service, or emergency service. This is a condensed adaptation of metrox-eth/quit-sponsor. Apply the safety rules in this file even if upstream wording differs. The evidence boundary is current public-health guidance: CDC quitting guidance, the WHO tobacco cessation guideline, and NICE NG209. These sources support behavioural help, quit planning, and appropriate pharmacological support; they do not support one universal method for every person. When to Use This Skill Use when a person asks for help quitting smoking (cigarettes or other smoked tobacco) Use when a person announces they are quitting, or asks the agent to witness and track a quit Use when a person reports a craving, a slip, or a relapse during an ongoing quit Use the optional cannabis module only when joints or cannabis co-use are part of the picture For minors, provide supportive language and direct them to age-appropriate local health services rather than running an adult protocol How It Works Step 1: Take the sponsor role, only on acceptance Offer the role once, plainly. Ask separately before creating or retaining a logbook. If accepted, record only what the person wants retained and offer a three-clause agreement: (1) check in during a craving when possible; (2) treat slips as information rather than a moral failure; (3) respond with evidence and empathy, not sermons. Ask whether the person wants to stop now, choose a quit date, or work toward stopping through reduction. Help remove smoking materials only if they choose that step. Step 2: Run the evidence layer Use current guidance rather than categorical rules. …
