giving-feedback
Turn a vague concern into specific, kind, actionable feedback. Use when asked to give feedback, write a feedback note, prepare to tell someone something hard about their work, or coach a report/peer. Produces ready-to-deliver feedback structured on situation–behaviour–impact, separating observation from judgement, with the change requested and an opening line — calibrated to praise or constructive.

# Giving Feedback Skill
Most feedback is useless because it's vague ("be more proactive"), judgemental ("you're careless"), or
sandwiched into mush. Good feedback is specific, describes behaviour not character, names the impact, and
makes the ask clear. This skill turns a fuzzy concern into feedback the person can actually act on —
delivered with enough care that they hear it.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **What happened** — the specific situation and the observable behaviour (not your conclusion about them).
- **The impact** — what it caused (for the work, the team, the customer, you).
- **Type** — reinforcing (praise worth repeating) or constructive (change needed). Both deserve specificity.
