What it does

Cease And Desist Letter is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Draft a firm, professional cease-and-desist letter to stop harassment, defamation, IP misuse, or unwanted contact — clear about what must stop and what happens if it doesn't. Use when asked to write a cease and desist, make someone stop [harassing/using my work/defaming me], or send a formal letter to stop. Produces a structured letter stating the conduct, why it's wrongful, the specific demand and deadline, and the consequence, plus guidance on delivery and records — flagging when the matter needs a real lawyer…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 to write a cease and desist
  • Make someone stop [harassing/using my work/defaming me]
  • Send a formal letter to stop

Example prompts

  • “/cease-and-desist-letter”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the conduct precisely. Name the specific behavior with dates/examples — vague accusations are easy to dismiss.
  2. Say why it's wrongful. Tie it to the harm or the right being violated (your IP, reputation, agreement, or a request to stop contact)…
  3. Make a clear, bounded demand. Exactly what must stop/happen, and a specific deadline.
  4. State a real consequence. What you'll do if ignored (legal action, reporting, platform complaint) — only what you're prepared to actually…
  5. Deliver with proof and keep records. Send it trackably, keep a copy, and log everything — it becomes evidence if it escalates.
  6. Know the ceiling. For serious harassment, real IP disputes, or threats, a lawyer's letter or formal action carries far more weight — flag…

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

Cease And Desist Letter loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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
Draft a firm, professional cease-and-desist letter to stop harassment, defamation, IP misuse, or unwanted contact — clear about what must stop and what happens if it doesn't. Use when asked to write a cease and desist, make someone stop [harassing/using my work/defaming me], or send a formal letter to stop. Produces a structured letter stating the conduct, why it's wrongful, the specific demand and deadline, and the consequence, plus guidance on delivery and records — flagging when the matter needs a real lawyer. Not legal advice.

Cease-and-Desist Letter

A well-written cease-and-desist often stops the behavior on its own — it signals you're serious, documented, and ready to escalate. This drafts one that's firm and specific without empty threats: what conduct must stop, why it's wrongful, the deadline, and the consequence — while being honest that for serious or ongoing matters, a letter on a lawyer's letterhead (or actual legal action) carries more weight.

What This Skill Produces

  • The letter — a structured cease-and-desist: the parties, the specific conduct, why it's improper, the demand, a deadline, and the consequence of non-compliance
  • The demand & deadline — exactly what must stop (or be removed/returned) and by when
  • Delivery & record guidance — how to send it with proof (trackable/receipted) and keep a copy
  • An escalation note — what a "next step" realistically is, and when to involve a lawyer or authorities
  • A tone check — firm and factual, not abusive or bluffing

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The conduct — what's happening (harassment, defamation, copyright/trademark misuse, breach, unwanted contact) and by whom
  • The evidence — dates, examples, and what you can document
  • What you want — stop, take down, retract, return, or no further contact
  • Relationship & history — prior warnings, any agreement/contract involved
  • Region & stakes — for tone and whether a lawyer is warranted

Framework: State It, Demand It, Mean It

  1. Identify the conduct precisely. Name the specific behavior with dates/examples — vague accusations are easy to dismiss.
  2. Say why it's wrongful. Tie it to the harm or the right being violated (your IP, reputation, agreement, or a request to stop contact) without overstating the law you can't back.
  3. Make a clear, bounded demand. Exactly what must stop/happen, and a specific deadline.
  4. State a real consequence. What you'll do if ignored (legal action, reporting, platform complaint) — only what you're prepared to actually do.
  5. Deliver with proof and keep records. Send it trackably, keep a copy, and log everything — it becomes evidence if it escalates.
  6. Know the ceiling. For serious harassment, real IP disputes, or threats, a lawyer's letter or formal action carries far more weight — flag it.

Output Format

Show full SKILL.md (244 more words)Show less
Cease & desist: [conduct] · to [recipient]

Letter

Re: Demand to cease [conduct] [Identify parties] · [the specific conduct + dates/examples] · [why it's wrongful/harmful] · [the demand: stop/remove/return + deadline] · [consequence if not complied with] · [request for written confirmation].

Deliver: send with tracking/proof of receipt; keep a copy. Keep: evidence log of the conduct and this letter. Escalate if ignored: [realistic next step] — and consider a lawyer for [serious/ongoing/IP/threats].

Not legal advice. For serious matters, a letter from a licensed lawyer (or legal action) is stronger — consult one where the stakes warrant it.

Quality Checks

  • Names the specific conduct with dates/examples
  • States why it's wrongful without overstating the law
  • Makes a clear, bounded demand with a deadline
  • States only a consequence the sender would actually pursue
  • Advises trackable delivery and record-keeping
  • Flags when a lawyer/authorities are the right route
  • Tone is firm and factual, not abusive

Anti-Patterns

  • Vague accusations with no specific conduct or dates.
  • Empty threats the sender won't carry out.
  • Overstating legal claims that can't be backed.
  • Abusive or threatening language that undermines the sender.
  • Sending with no proof of delivery or records.
  • DIY on a serious matter that needs a lawyer.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a cease and desist to someone using my photos without permission."
  • "Make a formal letter telling my ex to stop contacting me."
  • "Someone's posting defamatory reviews about my business — draft a C&D."
  • "A competitor copied my content — cease and desist letter, please."
  • "Draft a letter demanding a harasser stop, with a deadline."
