How does the tool calculate cognitive load?

The `estimate_cognitive_load` tool weighs active tasks, pending decisions, and unresolved conflicts. Work hours act as a multiplier that increases the impact of these factors if they exceed standard thresholds.

Can I use this to prevent burnout?

Yes. By using `assess_burnout_risk`, you can identify high-density workload patterns before they lead to exhaustion, allowing for proactive interventions.

What are the mitigation strategies provided?

The tool suggests specific actions like Delegation (to reduce task count), Automation (to resolve decisions), Mediation (to address conflicts), and Rest (to recover capacity).

More Details Connect to Claude

The Cognitive Load Estimator is an analytical engine designed to quantify the mental effort used in working memory. By analyzing four primary vectors--active tasks, pending decisions, unresolved conflicts, and work hours--it calculates a precise cognitive load score. Use estimate_cognitive_load to identify your current strain level, assess_burnuit_risk to evaluate burnout probability based on task density, or screen_friction_impact to measure the pressure from interpersonal friction. The tool provides actionable recommendations such as Delegation, Automation, Mediation, and Rest to help prevent burnout and maintain productivity.
