Wartime Decision Audit

Make sure to use this skill whenever a decision is being avoided despite clear urgency, the stated reason for delay is 'we need more data' but more data wouldn't change the decision, a leader recognizes they're afraid of a decision, distinguishing valid risk from psychological discomfort, or coaching someone through decision paralysis — even if the request is about 'decision-making' or 'risk assessment' rather than explicitly about fear.

Make sure to use this skill whenever bad news must be delivered, structuring a layoff announcement, preparing for a difficult performance conversation, communicating a project cancellation, or drafting any message that will negatively affect people — even if the request is about 'communication' or 'difficult conversations' rather than explicitly about message preparation.

Make sure to use this skill whenever a PM's decision authority is unclear, multiple PMs overlap on the same product area, onboarding a new PM who needs explicit ownership boundaries, resolving territorial conflicts between product owners, or defining who decides what in a matrixed organization — even if the request is about 'role clarity' or 'PM management' rather than explicitly about scope definition.
