the-strong-no
From the author
Find the real reason to NOT do the exciting thing you're about to commit to — the honest case against, before the excitement carries you in. Use when asked talk me out of this, should I really do this, what's the case against, or I'm excited but is this a mistake. Produces the strongest honest argument for not doing it, the excitement biases clouding your judgment, the specific conditions under which this is a bad idea for you, and a clear read on whether the strong no actually wins — protecting you from the plans that feel great and end badly.

- saying-nomohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsDecline a request, push back on scope, or protect priorities without burning the relationship. Use when asked how to say no, turn down a request, push back on your boss/stakeholder, decline extra work, or protect the roadmap from a pet feature. Produces a graceful, firm response — the no, the honest why, an alternative or trade-off, and the exact wording, tuned to who's asking.Planning★ 1.5K
- one-hard-truthmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsGet the single honest thing you're avoiding about a situation — said kindly but not softened away. Use when asked tell me the hard truth, what am I avoiding here, be honest with me about this, or what do I not want to hear. Produces the one thing you already half-know but keep sidestepping, said plainly and with care (not cruelty), why it's hard to face, and what facing it would actually make possible — because the truth you're avoiding is usually the one that would change things, and a kind voice can say what your own keeps ducking.Other★ 1.5K
- strategy-memomohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsWrite a strategy memo that commits to a bet and says what you won't do. Use when asked to write a strategy memo, articulate a strategy, make the case for a strategic direction, or align the team on where to focus. Produces a strategy memo — the strategic question, the diagnosis, the bet/approach, why now, explicit non-goals (what we're NOT doing), how we'll know it's working, and the risks.Writing★ 1.5K
- the-foolJeffallan/claude-skillsUse when challenging ideas, plans, decisions, or proposals using structured critical reasoning. Invoke to play devil's advocate, run a pre-mortem, red team, or audit evidence and assumptions.Planning★ 12K
- devils-twinmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsThe strongest possible case AGAINST what you just wrote — argued to win, not to check a box. Use when a document is about to ship and everyone around it already agrees: the twin writes the opposition's best memo (not a critique of yours), so you meet the real counter-argument before your audience does. Produces the opposing memo, the map of which of your claims it defeats/dents/leaves standing, and the pre-emption paragraph worth adding.Writing★ 1.5K
- decision-memomohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsWrite a crisp decision memo that drives a clear decision, not a discussion. Use when asked to write a decision memo, a recommendation memo, a one/six-pager for a decision, or to get leadership to decide something. Produces a decision memo — the decision & recommendation up front, the context, options with trade-offs, what you'd need to believe, risks, and the explicit ask with a deadline.Writing★ 1.5K
