receiving-feedback from amey-thakur/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Receive feedback by listening past delivery, extracting the signal, and closing the loop with visible action. Use when getting reviews, criticism, or hard performance conversations.
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
# Receiving feedback
The receiver controls whether feedback becomes growth or noise.
The skill is separable from the giver's: badly-delivered feedback
still carries information, and extracting it while your pulse is up
is a trainable move.
## Method
1. **Regulate first; the window is thirty seconds.** Defense
arrives before understanding: breathe, take notes (writing
occupies the defensive voice), and hold the rule "respond
to none of it now if hot". "Thank you: let me think about
this and come back tomorrow" is a complete, high-status
response to hard feedback.
2. **Listen for the data under the delivery.** Clumsy,
overstated, or badly-timed feedback usually wraps a true
observation; translate ("you always ship broken code" =
two recent regressions landed on them: see
giving-feedback's SBI, run in reverse). Judge the
information's usefulness separately from the giver's
skill in delivering it.
3. **Ask for specifics until it is actionable.** "Can you
give me a recent example?" "What would good have looked
like there?": genuine curiosity, not cross-examination;
the difference is whether you are gathering or rebutting.

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/receiving-feedback@sha256:9bfd3c3c9c5e23e8The 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.
