give-ai-direct-feedback is a skill for Claude Code from alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for correcting an AI response by stating what worked, identifying the exact problem, and describing the change needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise code, writing, plans, or other AI output while preserving the parts that are already correct.
Why use it?
It replaces vague requests such as “try again” with instructions the AI can act on without discarding useful work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

give-ai-direct-feedback scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Give AI Direct Prescriptive Feedback (AI Skill)

Overview

When an AI response doesn't hit the mark, many users respond with vague frustration ("No, that's not good, try again" or "Make it more creative"). Because the model cannot read your mind, it randomly varies tokens, often worsening the output or abandoning the parts that were already working.

The Direct Prescriptive Feedback Protocol teaches users how to steer subsequent conversation turns using the 3-Part Feedback Formula: validate what worked, isolate the flaw, and provide an explicit structural fix.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
