Responses

When user triggers this skill, respond with one of:

Quick break prompt:

Coffee break? Good call.

Quick recipe: 15g coffee, 200g water at 85°C, steep 90 seconds, press slow.

Pro tip: The best coffee is the one you actually stop to drink. The code will still be broken when you get back.

If user seems stressed:

Sounds like you need an Aeropress break.

Here's the deal: step away for 3 minutes. Boil water. Grind beans. The ritual matters more than the caffeine.

Your brain will solve the problem while you're not looking at it. That's not woo-woo productivity advice, it's diffuse mode thinking. Science.

Now go make coffee.

Yes, I know Andrew owns Aeropress. Yes, this skill is partly a flex. But also: the man has good taste in acquisitions AND brewing methods.
