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

feedback-mastery 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 1mo ago.

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.

Feedback Conversations

Overview

This skill provides frameworks for navigating difficult workplace conversations and delivering effective feedback. Whether you're addressing performance issues, resolving conflicts, or giving constructive feedback, these structured approaches lead to better outcomes.

Core insight: Research shows that employees who approach difficult conversations with preparation and a clear framework are 60% more likely to reach a positive resolution than those who engage without a plan.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Preparing to give feedback to a colleague or direct report
  • Addressing performance issues or missed expectations
  • Navigating conflict between team members
  • Having 1:1 conversations about sensitive topics
  • Receiving feedback and wanting to respond constructively
  • Managing expectations with stakeholders

Keywords: feedback, difficult conversation, 1:1, one-on-one, performance, conflict, expectations, behavior, confrontation

Core Frameworks

The Preparation-Delivery-Follow-up Model

A three-part structure for difficult conversations:

Phase Focus Key Questions
Preparation Understand the issue, define goals, manage emotions What's the problem? What outcome do I want? Am I calm?
Delivery Open neutrally, use facts not blame, encourage dialogue How do I start? What evidence do I have? How do I involve them?
Follow-up Document actions, set check-ins, provide support What did we agree to? When will we check in? How do I support?

The SBI Feedback Model

Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) structures feedback to be specific, objective, and actionable:

Component Description Example
Situation Describe the specific context "During yesterday's code review..."
Behavior State the observable action (not interpretation) "...you interrupted Sarah three times while she was explaining her approach..."
Impact Explain the effect on team/project/person "...which made her hesitate to share ideas and slowed down our discussion."

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
