Sharpen how you show up in high-stakes rooms — communicate with gravitas, concision, and confidence.

  • Asked to improve executive presence

What it does

Executive Presence is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Sharpen how you show up in high-stakes rooms — communicate with gravitas, concision, and confidence. Use when asked to improve executive presence, prepare to present to leadership, sound more senior, command a room, or get coaching before a big meeting. Produces specific guidance — how to open, structure answers (BLUF/headline-first), handle tough questions, project calm, and the habits to drop, tuned to the moment.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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 improve executive presence
  • Prepare to present to leadership
  • Sound more senior
  • Get coaching before a big meeting

Example prompts

  • “/executive-presence”

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

Executive Presence loads about 948 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~948

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
Sharpen how you show up in high-stakes rooms — communicate with gravitas, concision, and confidence. Use when asked to improve executive presence, prepare to present to leadership, sound more senior, command a room, or get coaching before a big meeting. Produces specific guidance — how to open, structure answers (BLUF/headline-first), handle tough questions, project calm, and the habits to drop, tuned to the moment.

Executive Presence Skill

Executive presence isn't a personality you're born with — it's a set of learnable behaviours: leading with the answer, speaking concisely, staying composed under pressure, and projecting calm conviction. This skill gives specific, actionable guidance for a particular high-stakes moment (a leadership presentation, a board Q&A, a tense meeting) — not generic "be confident" advice.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The moment — what you're walking into (present to execs, defend a plan, answer a hostile question, lead a crisis call).
  • The audience — who's in the room, what they care about, your standing with them.
  • Your goal — the decision/impression you want, and the message.
  • Your concern — what you're worried about (rambling, nerves, getting derailed, sounding junior).

Output Format

Executive Presence: [the moment]

1. Lead with the answer — for this situation, the BLUF/headline-first version: state the conclusion or ask in the first sentence, then support it. Executives want the bottom line, then the why — not a build-up to it.

2. Be concise — the 2–3 points that matter, cut to the essential. Specific advice on what to drop. (Brevity reads as command; over-explaining reads as uncertainty.)

3. Handle the hard question — how to field a challenge or a question you don't fully know: acknowledge, answer the part you can, commit to follow up on the rest — calmly, without defensiveness or bluffing. A prepared line for "I don't know."

4. Project calm — concrete cues: pace (slow down, pause instead of filler), posture, owning silence, not rushing to fill gaps. How to reset if you feel flustered mid-answer.

5. Language to drop — the hedges and minimisers that undercut you ("I just think maybe…", "does that make sense?", "sorry, quick question") and the stronger replacements.

6. The open & close — a strong first line for the moment, and how to land the ending on the ask.

Quality Checks

  • Advice is specific to the actual moment, not generic "be confident"
  • It coaches answer-first / BLUF structure with an example for this situation
  • There's a concrete plan for the hard question and for "I don't know"
  • Names specific hedging language to drop, with replacements
  • Includes calm/composure cues (pace, pauses, silence) — behaviours, not vibes
  • Gives a strong opening and a clear close on the ask

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not give generic advice ("be more confident") — coach specific behaviours for this room
  • Do not bury the lead — answer-first; making execs wait for the point reads as junior
  • Do not bluff a tough question — calm "here's what I know, I'll confirm the rest" beats a confident wrong answer
  • Do not equate presence with talking more — concision and comfortable silence project more authority
  • Do not coach a persona — it's behaviours layered on who you are, not an act that won't survive pressure

Based On

Executive-communication practice — BLUF / Minto Pyramid (answer-first), composure under pressure, and decisive, hedge-free language.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Improve executive presence."
  • "Prepare to present to leadership."
  • "Command a room."
  • "Get coaching before a big meeting."
