Deliver feedback with situation-behavior-impact structure, timeliness, and care calibrated to stakes. Use when correcting course, recognizing work, or preparing a hard conversation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Giving feedback
Feedback is information delivered so the receiver can use it. The
failure modes are symmetric: softening until the message vanishes,
or bluntness that triggers defense instead of change: structure and
timing beat both.
## Method
1. **Build on situation-behavior-impact.** The specific
moment ("in yesterday's design review"), the observable
behavior ("you dismissed the two questions about
failover before they finished"), the concrete impact
("the team stopped raising concerns, and we may have
missed a real gap": see design-critique's stakes).
No character verdicts ("you are dismissive"), no
mind-reading ("you clearly don't care"): behaviors are
arguable and changeable; identities are neither.
2. **Deliver promptly, at the right stakes level.** Small
course corrections within a day or two, casually
("quick thought on the review..."); patterns and serious
issues get a scheduled private conversation with
preparation (see one-on-one-meetings' boundary on
ambushes). Feedback aged three months is archaeology
the receiver cannot act on and will hear as a stored
grievance.

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/giving-feedback@sha256:c10bbc93cfe9af42The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.adc529a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
