Tabletop Negotiator

Q: How do I know the Tabletop Negotiator output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The agenda was committed before exchange one and the revealed agenda; matches the opponent's actual behaviour throughout; The opponent conceded only for in-character reasons — no drift toward; letting the user win.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-10-18 ✅ 2.3/5 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-tabletop

Practice the table-talk that wins negotiation board games — play out a Catan-style trade, a Diplomacy-style alliance, or a Monopoly-style deal against an opponent with a hidden agenda, then get an out-of-character debrief scoring your moves. Use when someone says 'I always lose the trading part', 'practice Catan trades with me', 'how do I get better at Diplomacy', or 'roleplay a trade with me'. Produces a played-out negotiation plus a debrief with the reads you missed and one habit to change.

What to give it

▸The game — (or "generic trading game") and the situation: what the user holds, what they need, roughly what's visible about the opponent

▸Stakes and mood — friendly kitchen table or cutthroat club?

▸What tends to go wrong for them — "I accept first offers", "everyone sees my bluffs", "I get frozen out of alliances"

✅ 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.

✓The agenda was committed before exchange one and the revealed agenda

✓matches the opponent's actual behaviour throughout

✓The opponent conceded only for in-character reasons — no drift toward

✓letting the user win

✓The debrief cites specific lines the user said, not generalities

✓Exactly one habit prescribed — a list of five fixes fixes nothing

✓Game-rule specifics for named games stay light and non-authoritative —

✓this practices the talking, not the rules (rules-lawyer owns rules)

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not go easy — flattering practice is worse than none; the debrief is

where support lives

Do not reveal or hint at the hidden agenda mid-game, even when asked

Do not coach mid-negotiation; interruptions destroy the read-the-table

practice (unless the user calls "pause")
