Bankruptcy Decision is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Think clearly about whether bankruptcy is the right move, or whether another path fits better — without shame and without a sales pitch. Use when asked should I file for bankruptcy, is bankruptcy my best option, alternatives to bankruptcy, or what happens if I file. Produces an honest read on whether your situation is the kind bankruptcy actually helps, the main types and what each does (and doesn't) discharge, the real trade-offs (what you keep, the credit impact and its recovery, what's not dischargeable), the…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bankruptcy Decision loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 201 tokens; SKILL.md has 636 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~201
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Think clearly about whether bankruptcy is the right move, or whether another path fits better — without shame and without a sales pitch. Use when asked should I file for bankruptcy, is bankruptcy my best option, alternatives to bankruptcy, or what happens if I file. Produces an honest read on whether your situation is the kind bankruptcy actually helps, the main types and what each does (and doesn't) discharge, the real trade-offs (what you keep, the credit impact and its recovery, what's not dischargeable), the alternatives to weigh first (negotiation, debt management, doing nothing on time-barred debt), and a strong push to consult a bankruptcy attorney — so the decision is informed, not driven by fear or a debt-relief ad. Not legal advice; centers a real attorney consult.

Bankruptcy Decision

Bankruptcy is neither a moral failure nor a magic reset — it's a legal tool that fits some situations and not others, buried under shame and predatory "debt relief" ads. This helps you think clearly: whether your situation is the kind it actually helps, what the main types do and don't erase, the honest trade-offs, the alternatives to weigh first, and why a real attorney consult (often free) is the essential next step — so you decide on facts, not fear.

What This Skill Produces

  • A fit read — whether your situation (debt type, amount, income, assets) is the kind bankruptcy meaningfully helps, or whether it wouldn't
  • The types, plainly — the main forms (liquidation vs. reorganization/repayment) and what each does and doesn't discharge
  • The honest trade-offs — what you typically keep (exemptions), the credit impact and how it recovers over time, and what's usually not dischargeable (many taxes, student loans, child support)
  • The alternatives to weigh first — negotiation/settlement, a nonprofit debt-management plan, hardship programs, or simply not paying time-barred debt
  • A red-flag warning — spotting predatory "debt relief"/settlement operations that make things worse
  • A clear next step — consult a bankruptcy attorney (many offer free consults) and where to find nonprofit credit counseling

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The debts — rough total and types (credit cards, medical, taxes, loans — types matter a lot)
  • Your picture — income, essential assets (home, car), and what's threatened
  • What's driving it — lawsuits, garnishment, just drowning in payments
  • Where — region (exemptions and process vary by jurisdiction)

Framework: Does It Fit — And What Else Might

  1. Check the fit. Bankruptcy helps most with dischargeable unsecured debt and against garnishment/lawsuits — it does little for debts it can't discharge. Name the mismatch if there is one.
  2. Know what each type does. Liquidation vs. repayment plans differ sharply in what you keep and what happens — match the situation to the type at a high level.
  3. Weigh the trade-offs honestly. Exemptions often protect essentials; the credit hit is real but recovers; and key debts (many taxes, student loans, support) usually survive — no false comfort.
  4. Exhaust the alternatives. Settlement, nonprofit debt-management, hardship programs, and the time-barred-debt option may fit better and cost less — consider them first.
  5. Avoid the predators. For-profit "debt relief" and settlement mills often deepen the hole — steer to nonprofit counseling and a real attorney.
  6. Consult an attorney. This is a legal decision with local rules and free consults widely available — that's the real next step, not a web form.

Output Format

Bankruptcy decision: [debt picture] · [region]

Does it fit? [likely helps because… / likely won't because the debts are non-dischargeable / borderline — attorney needed]. Types, plainly: [liquidation vs. repayment — what each does/keeps]. Trade-offs: [what you keep (exemptions) · credit hit + recovery · what won't discharge]. Weigh first: [negotiation/settlement · nonprofit debt management · hardship programs · time-barred debt]. Avoid: [for-profit "debt relief"/settlement mills]. Next step: [free bankruptcy-attorney consult · nonprofit credit counseling].

Not legal advice — bankruptcy is jurisdiction-specific and consequential. A bankruptcy attorney (often a free consult) and nonprofit credit counseling are the right next steps.

Quality Checks

  • Assesses whether the debt types are actually dischargeable
  • Explains the main types and what each keeps/discharges
  • States credit impact, recovery, and non-dischargeable debts honestly
  • Surfaces alternatives to weigh first
  • Warns off predatory debt-relief; centers an attorney consult

Anti-Patterns

  • Treating bankruptcy as shameful or as a magic reset — it's neither.
  • Ignoring that key debts (taxes, student loans, support) often survive.
  • Skipping the alternatives that might fit better.
  • Trusting a for-profit "debt relief" ad over nonprofit counseling.
  • Deciding without an attorney on a legal, local matter.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Should I file for bankruptcy?"
  • "Is bankruptcy really my best option or is there another way?"
  • "What actually happens if I file, and what do I lose?"
  • "What are the alternatives to bankruptcy?"
  • "I'm drowning in debt — how do I decide what to do?"
