one-hard-truth
From the author
Get 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.

- the-strong-nomohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsFind 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.Planning★ 1.5K
- 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
- explain-simplymohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsExplain anything in plain language — a contract clause, a medical term, a tax rule, a tech acronym, a news story — layered from a one-liner to as much depth as you want. Use when asked to explain like I'm 5, explain this simply, break this down in plain English, or what does this even mean. Produces the one-sentence version, a plain-language explanation with a concrete analogy, the 'why it matters to you,' and an honest note on anything genuinely uncertain or oversimplified.Science★ 1.5K
- five-mindsmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsAnswer a question five completely different ways — as five independent minds with clashing worldviews — then converge on what survives. Use when asked for multiple perspectives, look at this from every angle, what would different people think, or give me a range of views not one answer. Produces five genuinely distinct takes (each committed to one worldview, not hedged), the tensions between them made explicit, and a final synthesis that keeps what's strongest — deliberately widening the range before narrowing it.Other★ 1.5K
- interview-meaddyosmani/agent-skillsExtracts what the user actually wants instead of what they think they should want. Achieves this through one-question-at-a-time interview until ~95% confidence about the underlying intent. Use when an ask is underspecified ("build me X" without "for whom" or "why now"), when the user explicitly invokes ("interview me", "grill me", "are we sure?", "stress-test my thinking"), or when you catch yourself silently filling in ambiguous requirements before any plan, spec, or code exists.Planning★ 109.5K
- deal-negotiationcbrock84/headcountNegotiates a commercial deal without giving away the terms that matter — preparing your walk-away and theirs, trading concessions rather than conceding them, recognizing the tactics that create false urgency, protecting price by moving other variables, and closing on terms someone can actually deliver. Use this to prepare for a negotiation, respond to a demand mid-deal, work out why discounts keep landing at quarter end, or review terms before they are signed.Finance★ 2.1K
