SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Feedback often fails because it’s vague, delayed, or too wrapped in social cushioning, leaving the receiver unsure what to change and when.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SBI-framed feedback that’s concrete and non-dismissable: drafts situation, behavior, and impact language for both praise and corrective feedback.
  • Conversation openings for hard moments: provides ready-to-say openers for critical feedback, plus guidance on pacing (including when to use silence).
  • Tactics for resistance and timing: uses behavior change stages to handle pushback and recommends in-the-moment feedback instead of waiting for 1:1s or formal reviews.
  • Team feedback habits: includes an approach for building a team-wide feedback rhythm (e.g., speed feedback) and methods for extracting real feedback from reports.
  • Support resources: references an extended weekly accountability loop (“Weekly Called Shots”) and a curated source list for deeper reading.

Quick Start

Tell the skill what happened (the event), what behavior you observed, and what impact it had, and ask it to draft exact SBI feedback wording plus a direct opening line for the conversation.
