Desk Ergonomics Audit

Most desk pain comes from a handful of misalignments you can fix for free by moving things a few inches — a screen too low, a chair too high, wrists bent at the keyboard. This audits your setup point by point, gives the specific adjustment for each, and only suggests buying something when a free fix won't do.

What This Skill Produces

  • A point-by-point audit — chair, desk height, monitor, keyboard, mouse, lighting, laptop use
  • The specific fix for each — the exact adjustment (raise screen to eye level, elbows ~90°, feet supported)
  • Free-first ranking — reposition and improvise before spending; books under a monitor beat a new stand
  • Targeted cheap upgrades — only where a free fix can't solve it (e.g., external keyboard for laptop users)
  • Micro-break habits — the movement cadence that matters more than any single tweak
  • A pain flag — persistent pain, numbness, or tingling → see a professional

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The complaint — neck, upper/lower back, wrists, shoulders, eyes — or a proactive check
  • Your setup — desk, chair, monitor(s) or laptop, keyboard/mouse, lighting
  • Laptop or desktop — laptop-only setups need specific fixes
  • Constraints — budget, space, standing desk, dual monitors
  • Hours & symptoms — time seated, and stiffness vs actual pain/numbness

Framework: Align, Free-First, Move

  1. Set the neutral posture targets. Eyes at the top third of the screen, elbows ~90°, wrists straight, feet supported, thighs level — audit against these.
  2. Fix with what's there first. Raise the monitor on books, lower the chair, pull the keyboard closer — most fixes cost nothing.
  3. Solve laptop neck. A laptop forces a choice between neck and wrists — the fix is almost always raise the screen + external keyboard/mouse.
  4. Buy only where needed. Recommend a cushion, footrest, or keyboard only when repositioning can't solve it.
  5. Movement beats the perfect chair. Build in micro-breaks and position changes — stillness is the real problem.

Output Format

Ergonomics audit: [complaint] · [setup] · [laptop/desktop]

Area Target Your fix
Monitor top ~third at eye level [raise/lower]
Chair thighs level, feet supported [adjust]
Keyboard/mouse elbows ~90°, wrists straight [reposition]
Lighting no glare, screen not brightest thing [fix]
Laptop screen up + external input [if applicable]

Free fixes first: [list]. Worth buying (only if needed): [item → why]. Move: micro-break every [x] — [cue].

Persistent pain, numbness, or tingling isn't an ergonomics tweak — see a professional.

Quality Checks

  • Audits each area against a clear neutral-posture target
  • Prioritizes free repositioning over purchases
  • Gives the specific laptop fix (raise + external input) when relevant
  • Recommends purchases only where a free fix won't work
  • Includes a micro-break/movement habit
  • Flags persistent pain/numbness for a professional

Anti-Patterns

  • Leading with gear to buy before free fixes.
  • Generic "sit properly" with no specific targets.
  • Ignoring laptop-specific neck/wrist tradeoffs.
  • No movement advice — treating posture as static.
  • Dismissing pain/numbness that needs a professional.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "My wrists hurt at my desk — can you check my setup?"
  • "Audit my home-office ergonomics, I work on a laptop all day."
  • "Neck pain from my monitor — how should I set it up?"
  • "Best free fixes for my desk before I buy anything?"
  • "Set up my dual-monitor workstation ergonomically."
