Works in Claude, ChatGPT, and coding agents. On Team and Business, the official skill in your pod updates itself when we improve it.
When to use it
- Before praise or criticism that matters
- A manager avoids feedback or lands as harsh
- Building a habit of asking for feedback
What you give it
- The feedback as planned
- The situation, behaviour and effect
- The working relationship
What you get
Behaviour-not-person fixes, care and challenge ratings, the quadrant, a rewrite with where and when, an ask for criticism, and a follow-up.
How it works
- Separate behaviour from person
- Rate the care
- Rate the challenge
- Place it
- Rewrite it to do both
- Plan the ask for criticism
- Close the loop
Example
What you give it
My designer Ana's mockups for the checkout redesign came in two days late for the second sprint running, and the developers had to wait. I was going to say in our team stand-up: 'Great work as always Ana, maybe try to be a bit quicker next time if you can?' I know she's been taking on extra requests from the sales team.
What you get back (the start of it)
Feedback check: checkout mockups late two sprints running
The feedback as planned
"Great work as always Ana, maybe try to be a bit quicker next time if you can?"
Behaviour, not person
The behaviour is clear in your notes (mockups two days late, two sprints running, developers waiting), but the planned words don't say it.
The rest of this output, the full steps and the checks the AI runs before it answers are in your pod once you add the skill.
