Deliver feedback using Kim Scott's Radical Candor framework - care personally while challenging directly. Use when a leader needs to give difficult feedback, says "I need to tell someone something hard", "how do I give feedback without hurting them", "I've been avoiding a conversation", "my direct report isn't performing", "someone on my team has a blind spot", "I keep sugarcoating things", or "how do I be honest without being a jerk". Also trigger when someone describes being too nice…
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
## Overview
Based on **"Radical Candor"** by Kim Scott. The core idea: caring about someone does not mean protecting them from hard truths. Ruinous empathy - being "nice" by withholding difficult feedback - actually harms the person more than the feedback would. Radical Candor is the intersection of caring personally (genuine investment in the person) and challenging directly (honest, specific, timely feedback). Both axes matter. High care without directness is ruinous empathy. High directness without care is obnoxious aggression.
## The Radical Candor Grid
```
CHALLENGE DIRECTLY
High
|
Obnoxious | Radical
Aggression | Candor
|
CARE Low ------+------ High CARE
Low |
|
Manipulative | Ruinous
Insincerity | Empathy
|
Low
```
Most managers who think they are "being nice" are in Ruinous Empathy. Most managers who think they are "being direct" and come across as harsh are in Obnoxious Aggression. Radical Candor requires both axes high simultaneously.

How to install
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/feedback-delivery@sha256:c1a8f08437497765The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.6928f89, 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.
