Prepare for and run a negotiation with structure: BATNA and ZOPA analysis, counterparty analysis, a 6-dimension score for any draft message, a pre-send checklist, and a concession ledger across rounds. Use for salary offers, vendor and supplier contracts, billing disputes, partnership terms, and any deal where the next message matters. Triggers: "prepare for the negotiation", "what's my BATNA", "analyze their position", "score this message", "review before I send", "draft a counter-offer…

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

# Negotiation Prep

Structured preparation and message review for negotiations where the next move matters.

Inspired by the negotiation preparation approach taught in the CEMS Negotiation Strategy course at Nova SBE.

## Hard rule

- **Never reveal the user's BATNA**, walk-away point or reservation price in any draft, directly or by implication.
- **Never state a fact that has not been verified.** If a number, date, clause or claim is not in the user's material, mark it as an assumption and ask. Do not invent market data, precedents or "industry standard" figures.

## Core Workflow

### 1. Context Loading

Before any analysis, establish:
- Who are the parties, and what is their relationship (one-off or repeated)?
- What has been agreed so far? Look for written evidence: messages, emails, contracts, offer letters.
- What is in dispute, and what is not yet on the table?
- Which channel is this on? (chat = concise, email = structured, call = flexible)
- What is the timeline? Deadlines, meetings, renewal dates, external events.

Ask for the actual documents if they exist. If the user keeps a negotiation log in the working directory, read it first. State any assumption you make.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add getedgehq/skills/negotiation-prep@sha256:83bc90eacb37d31b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.3309348, 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.
