What it does

Boundary Setting Scripts is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Set a boundary with someone — a friend, family member, coworker, or partner — clearly and kindly, with the actual words and a plan for the pushback. Use when asked how do I set a boundary with, I need to say no to, someone keeps overstepping, or help me set limits with. Produces a read on the boundary you actually need, a warm-but-firm script to state it (without over-explaining or apologizing it away), how to hold it when they push back or guilt-trip, and what to do if they don't respect it — because a boundary…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked how do I set a boundary with
  • I need to say no to
  • Someone keeps overstepping
  • Help me set limits with

Example prompts

  • “t respect it — because a boundary you can”
  • “/boundary-setting-scripts”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify the actual boundary. Turn a vague frustration into a specific limit — "I need X to stop" or "I'm not available for Y" — because…
  2. State it warm and firm. Lead with care if the relationship warrants, then the boundary plainly — and stop. Over-explaining and apologizing…
  3. Don't justify it to death. "No" is a complete sentence; a boundary doesn't require a defense that gives them something to argue with.
  4. Prepare for pushback. Guilt, anger, and "you're being unreasonable" are common — a calm broken-record restatement holds the line without a…
  5. Attach a consequence. Decide what you'll actually do if it's ignored (leave the conversation, reduce contact, escalate) — and be prepared…
  6. Calibrate to the relationship. The words for a boss differ from a parent from a partner — tune tone and firmness accordingly.

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

Boundary Setting Scripts loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 146 tokens; SKILL.md has 583 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~146
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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
Set a boundary with someone — a friend, family member, coworker, or partner — clearly and kindly, with the actual words and a plan for the pushback. Use when asked how do I set a boundary with, I need to say no to, someone keeps overstepping, or help me set limits with. Produces a read on the boundary you actually need, a warm-but-firm script to state it (without over-explaining or apologizing it away), how to hold it when they push back or guilt-trip, and what to do if they don't respect it — because a boundary you can't state and hold isn't a boundary.

Boundary-Setting Scripts

A boundary is only real if you can say it out loud and hold it — which is exactly what most people can't do, so they hint, resent, and explode instead. This helps you name the boundary you actually need, gives you warm-but-firm words to state it (no over-explaining, no apologizing it into nothing), and prepares you for the pushback — because the guilt-trip and the "you're being difficult" are coming, and folding at them means you never had a boundary.

What This Skill Produces

  • The boundary, clarified — what you actually need to change, stated as a clear limit (not a vague wish)
  • A warm-but-firm script — the words to say it kindly and directly, without over-justifying or apologizing it away
  • The hold-the-line plan — responses to the pushback, guilt-trips, and "you've changed / you're overreacting"
  • The consequence — what you'll do if the boundary isn't respected (a boundary with no follow-through is a suggestion)
  • A relationship-aware tone — calibrated to who it's with (a boss ≠ a partner ≠ a parent)

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The situation — who, and what they're doing that you need to change
  • What you need — the specific limit (time, behavior, topic, availability)
  • The relationship — friend, family, partner, coworker, boss (changes tone and leverage)
  • The dynamic — how they usually react, and whether you've raised it before
  • Your goal — change the behavior while keeping the relationship, or a firmer stance

Framework: Name It, State It, Hold It

  1. Clarify the actual boundary. Turn a vague frustration into a specific limit — "I need X to stop" or "I'm not available for Y" — because you can't state what you haven't defined.
  2. State it warm and firm. Lead with care if the relationship warrants, then the boundary plainly — and stop. Over-explaining and apologizing invite negotiation.
  3. Don't justify it to death. "No" is a complete sentence; a boundary doesn't require a defense that gives them something to argue with.
  4. Prepare for pushback. Guilt, anger, and "you're being unreasonable" are common — a calm broken-record restatement holds the line without a fight.
  5. Attach a consequence. Decide what you'll actually do if it's ignored (leave the conversation, reduce contact, escalate) — and be prepared to follow through, or it's not a boundary.
  6. Calibrate to the relationship. The words for a boss differ from a parent from a partner — tune tone and firmness accordingly.

Output Format

Boundary with: [person] · you need: [the limit]

The boundary, clear: [the specific limit]. Script (warm + firm):

[Care if warranted] + [the boundary, plainly] + [stop — no over-explaining]. When they push back: "[calm restatement]" — hold, don't debate or over-justify. If it's not respected: [the consequence you'll follow through on]. Tone for this relationship: [calibrated to boss/partner/parent/friend].

Quality Checks

  • Turns a vague frustration into a specific, statable boundary
  • Script is warm and firm, without over-explaining or apologizing
  • Includes hold-the-line responses to pushback/guilt
  • Attaches a real consequence with follow-through
  • Tone is calibrated to the specific relationship

Anti-Patterns

  • Over-explaining/apologizing the boundary into nothing.
  • Hinting instead of stating it.
  • No plan for the pushback — folding at the first guilt-trip.
  • A boundary with no consequence — just a suggestion.
  • Same tone for a boss and a parent.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I set a boundary with my mom about dropping by unannounced?"
  • "I need to tell a friend I can't keep lending money — what do I say?"
  • "A coworker keeps dumping work on me. Help me set a limit."
  • "How do I say no without feeling guilty?"
  • "Someone keeps overstepping and I don't know how to stop it."
