Turn a vague concern into specific, kind, actionable feedback. Use when asked to give feedback, write a feedback note, prepare to tell someone something hard about their work, or coach a report/peer. Produces ready-to-deliver feedback structured on situation–behaviour–impact, separating observation from judgement, with the change requested and an opening line — calibrated to praise or constructive.

What changed
🗣 Say this to your agent
“Give feedback.”“Write a feedback note.”“Prepare to tell someone something hard about their work.”“Coach a report/peer.”
What to give it
▸What happened — the specific situation and the observable behaviour (not your conclusion about them).
▸The impact — what it caused (for the work, the team, the customer, you).
▸Type — reinforcing (praise worth repeating) or constructive (change needed). Both deserve specificity.
▸The relationship & context — report, peer, manager; and any relevant history.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Built on situation–behaviour–impact, with each part concrete
✓Behaviour is observable, separated from judgement of character
✓The requested change (or the keep-doing) is explicit and actionable
✓It opens in a way that lowers defensiveness
✓It invites the other person's perspective — a dialogue, not a verdict
✓Praise is as specific as criticism (vague praise doesn't reinforce)
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not judge character ("you're disorganised") — describe behaviour ("the doc was missing the dates")
Do not use the feedback sandwich — burying the point in praise muddles both; be direct and kind
Do not be vague ("be more strategic") — if they can't picture the change, it's not feedback
Do not save it for the review — feedback works when it's timely and low-stakes, not stockpiled
Do not make praise generic ("great job!") — specific praise is what gets the behaviour repeated
