It's built for anyone who wants to maintain high-quality output without crashing by 3 PM. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_hr0uHBPRgbAEf4jNSkZ3pkFbQSmvLQdmuLcYdulv/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** focus, burnout-prevention, active-break, circadian-rhythm, deep-work ## Description Most productivity tools just count the minutes you spend staring at a screen. They don't care if your brain is fried or if you've been sitting in the same chair for four hours straight. This Connector changes that by treating your focus like a biological resource. Instead of just timing tasks, it manages your cognitive load. It helps you find the right balance between deep work and the recovery your brain actually needs to stay sharp. When you use this through the Vinkius catalog, your agent starts acting like a high-level coach. It knows when you've pushed too hard and tells you exactly how to reset. You get a sustainable way to work that prioritizes your mental health over raw hours clocked. It's about staying productive for the long haul, not just finishing a single task. It moves you away from the cycle of pushing until you're exhausted and toward a rhythm that protects your energy. ## Tools ### calculate_required_break Tells you exactly how long to rest based on your recent focus time. It ensures you get enough recovery before starting the next task. ### check_for_skip_violation Flags when you've bypassed a break or taken one that was too short. It keeps your focus habits honest and sustainable. ### query_session_status Shows your current position in your planned work sequence. Use it to stay oriented during a busy day. ### suggest_load_adjustment Gives you specific advice on how to change your schedule based on your fatigue. It helps you pivot when you're feeling drained. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` I've been staring at this bug for over an hour and I'm starting to feel frustrated. What should I do? ``` **Response:** ``` It looks like you've hit a bit of a wall. Based on your recent activity, I recommend taking a 20-minute break away from your screen. Try a quick walk or some stretching to reset your focus. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I feel like I'm not getting much done today and I'm exhausted. Can we adjust my plan? ``` **Response:** ``` I can help with that. Given your current fatigue level, it looks like a good idea to reduce your goal for today by about 1.5 hours. We can also increase your break frequency to give you more breathing room. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Am I supposed to be on a break right now? I lost track of time. ``` **Response:** ``` Let me check that for you. You are currently in a work block. However, you've been at it for a while and should probably take a quick 10-minute breather before starting the next segment. ``` ## Capabilities ### Calculate your next break Determine the exact length of your pause based on how long you've been working. ### Audit your focus habits Detect when you're skipping breaks or taking them too briefly to keep your habits honest. ### Track your session progress See exactly where you are in your planned work sequence at any moment. ### Get workload adjustments Receive specific advice on how to lighten your schedule when you're feeling drained. ## Use Cases ### Recovering from a long debugging session A dev feels drained after 3 hours of debugging.
