saying-no
From the author
Decline 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.

- 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
- ask-for-a-raisemohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsBuild and deliver a raise request that actually works — the evidence, the number, the timing, and the exact words — instead of hoping it gets noticed. Use when asked how do I ask for a raise, I deserve more money, prepare me to ask for a raise, or negotiate a pay increase at my job. Produces a value case built on your actual contributions and market rate, a specific target number with justification, the right timing and person, a script for the conversation, and responses to the likely pushbacks — turning 'I want more' into a business case your manager can say yes to.Planning★ 1.5K
- 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
- handle-objectionanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsWork through a live objection or competitive threat - what's really being said, the response that has worked before, and the proof points to use, grounded in your own win/loss history and customer quotes. Use when the user says "they said we're too expensive", "how do I respond to [objection]", "[competitor] is in the deal", "help me handle this pushback", or pastes an objection from an email or call.OfficialProductivity★ 31.3K
- 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
- managing-upmohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsWork more effectively with your manager — communicate, align, escalate, and get what you need. Use when asked how to manage up, work better with a boss, get buy-in from your manager, escalate without overstepping, or prepare to raise something with leadership. Produces a managing-up plan — what your manager needs and how they operate, how to frame your ask, what to bring vs. escalate, and the message.Planning★ 1.5K
