What it does

Defamation Response is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Respond to false, damaging statements about you or your business — decide what actually counts as defamation, preserve evidence, and choose the right response from correction to takedown to legal action. Use when asked someone posted lies about me, respond to a false review/statement, is this defamation, or protect my reputation online. Produces a read on whether it likely crosses from opinion into actionable falsehood, evidence-preservation steps, a tiered response (platform report, correction/retraction…

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 someone posted lies about me
  • Respond to a false review/statement
  • Is this defamation
  • Protect my reputation online

Example prompts

  • “/defamation-response”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify honestly. Defamation generally needs a false statement of fact (not opinion), communicated to others, causing harm. Fair…
  2. Preserve everything first. Screenshot the statement with URL, date, and context, and document reach and harm — before the poster deletes it.
  3. Start proportionate. Often the best first move is a platform/review report or a calm, factual public correction — not a lawsuit. Escalate…
  4. Request removal/retraction. A measured private request or a formal cease-and-desist can resolve it; keep it factual.
  5. Don't amplify or self-harm. Public fights draw attention to the claim (Streisand effect) and an intemperate response can itself be…
  6. Escalate when warranted. Genuine, provable harm from clear falsehoods is where a defamation lawyer comes in — flag it.

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

Defamation Response loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 159 tokens; SKILL.md has 573 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~159
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
Respond to false, damaging statements about you or your business — decide what actually counts as defamation, preserve evidence, and choose the right response from correction to takedown to legal action. Use when asked someone posted lies about me, respond to a false review/statement, is this defamation, or protect my reputation online. Produces a read on whether it likely crosses from opinion into actionable falsehood, evidence-preservation steps, a tiered response (platform report, correction/retraction request, cease-and-desist, legal), and a caution against reactions that make it worse. Not legal advice.

Defamation Response

A false, damaging statement is infuriating — but the wrong response (a public flame war, an overblown legal threat) often amplifies it or backfires. This helps you tell the difference between defamation and mere opinion or fair criticism, preserve the evidence, and pick a proportionate response — from a platform report to a retraction demand to, where truly warranted, legal action. It isn't legal advice.

What This Skill Produces

  • An is-it-defamation read — a plain-English gut-check on whether it's likely an actionable false statement of fact vs. protected opinion, criticism, or true (if unflattering) statements
  • Evidence preservation — screenshots with URLs, dates, reach, and any provable harm, captured before it's deleted
  • A tiered response — from platform/review reporting and a calm public correction, to a private retraction/removal request, to a cease-and-desist, to legal action
  • A "don't make it worse" caution — how not to amplify (the Streisand effect), inflame, or say something actionable yourself
  • An escalation flag — when real reputational/financial harm warrants a defamation lawyer

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The statement — what was said, where, and by whom (if known)
  • True or false — is it a false statement of fact, an opinion, or partly true
  • The harm — reach, and any real damage (lost business, etc.)
  • Your goal — removal, correction/retraction, apology, or deterrence
  • Region — defamation law varies significantly by jurisdiction

Framework: Classify, Preserve, Respond Proportionately

  1. Classify honestly. Defamation generally needs a false statement of fact (not opinion), communicated to others, causing harm. Fair criticism, opinion, and true statements usually aren't actionable — be realistic before escalating.
  2. Preserve everything first. Screenshot the statement with URL, date, and context, and document reach and harm — before the poster deletes it.
  3. Start proportionate. Often the best first move is a platform/review report or a calm, factual public correction — not a lawsuit. Escalate only as needed.
  4. Request removal/retraction. A measured private request or a formal cease-and-desist can resolve it; keep it factual.
  5. Don't amplify or self-harm. Public fights draw attention to the claim (Streisand effect) and an intemperate response can itself be defamatory — stay measured.
  6. Escalate when warranted. Genuine, provable harm from clear falsehoods is where a defamation lawyer comes in — flag it.

Output Format

Defamation response: [statement] · [where] · goal: [x]

Likely actionable? [false statement of fact / opinion-criticism / true] → [possibly / probably not] — because [why]. Preserve now: screenshots + URLs + dates + reach + evidence of harm. Response ladder

  1. Platform/review report (if it breaches policy).
  2. Calm factual public correction (if worth responding at all).
  3. Private removal/retraction request → cease-and-desist.
  4. Legal action (real harm + clear falsehood). Avoid: public flame wars (amplifies it) · saying anything itself defamatory.

Not legal advice. Defamation law varies by jurisdiction. For real reputational or financial harm, consult a defamation lawyer.

Quality Checks

  • Realistically classifies fact vs opinion/criticism/truth
  • Preserves evidence before anything else
  • Offers a proportionate, tiered response (report → correct → demand → legal)
  • Warns against amplifying (Streisand) and self-defamation
  • Flags when genuine harm warrants a lawyer
  • States it isn't legal advice / laws vary

Anti-Patterns

  • Calling everything defamation — including fair opinion or true statements.
  • Not preserving evidence before deletion.
  • Jumping to legal threats for something minor.
  • A public pile-on that amplifies the claim.
  • Responding with something itself defamatory.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Someone posted lies about my business — what can I do?"
  • "Is this false review actually defamation?"
  • "How do I get a defamatory post taken down?"
  • "Someone's spreading false statements about me online."
  • "Should I sue for defamation or is there a better first step?"
