What it does

Exit Interview Strategy is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Walk into an exit interview knowing what it's for, what to say, and what to keep — honest-but-strategic answers that protect references and leave the door open. Use when asked what do I say in my exit interview, should I be honest in my exit interview, prep me for my exit interview, or is the exit interview confidential. Produces the goals-and-risks brief, prepared answers for the standard questions, the say/soften/skip sorting of your real feedback, and the scripts for the questions that are traps.

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.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Interview preparation. 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 what do I say in my exit interview
  • Should I be honest in my exit interview
  • Prep me for my exit interview
  • Is the exit interview confidential

Example prompts

  • “/exit-interview-strategy”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Know what it's for (them, not you): exit interviews exist to detect legal risk, spot patterns, and close the file. Change rarely follows…
  2. Say — pattern-level, futureless feedback: things that help the org, cost you nothing, and discuss systems not people ("the on-call load in…
  3. Soften — true things with named humans attached: convert person-feedback to process-feedback. "I'd suggest clearer promotion criteria"…
  4. Skip — anything venty, unverifiable, or already-decided: grievances that fix nothing and mark the file. The test: would I want this read…
  5. Legal-adjacent issues don't go here: harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wage issues — raising them casually in an exit interview is…

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

Exit Interview Strategy loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 711 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~132
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
Walk into an exit interview knowing what it's for, what to say, and what to keep — honest-but-strategic answers that protect references and leave the door open. Use when asked what do I say in my exit interview, should I be honest in my exit interview, prep me for my exit interview, or is the exit interview confidential. Produces the goals-and-risks brief, prepared answers for the standard questions, the say/soften/skip sorting of your real feedback, and the scripts for the questions that are traps.

Exit Interview Strategy Skill

The exit interview is a meeting where you can win nothing and lose things you'll want later — references, rehire eligibility, relationships that follow you between companies. It is not therapy, not a performance review of your manager, and rarely as confidential as presented: notes get filed, summarized, and sometimes shared with the very people discussed. This skill preps it like the low-stakes-for-them, real-stakes-for-you meeting it is: decide the two things worth saying, sort the rest into soften or skip, and exit the exit gracefully.

What This Skill Produces

  • The brief — what this interview can and can't do for you, and your 1–2 chosen messages
  • Prepared answers — the standard questions (why leaving, what would you change, manager feedback) answered in advance, calm and final
  • The say / soften / skip sort — their real feedback triaged by usefulness-to-them vs. risk-to-you
  • Trap scripts — word-for-word responses for the destination question, the "is there anything that would keep you" re-recruit, and the name-names invitation

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The real feedback — everything they wish they could say, unfiltered; the sort works on the honest list
  • The exit temperature — amicable, burned, or complicated; and whether anything legal-adjacent is in the mix (harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages — which changes the venue entirely, see framework)
  • What they want to protect — references from whom, rehire eligibility, relationships with specific people
  • Who's conducting it — HR, manager, skip-level; the same answer lands differently per audience

Framework: The Sorting Rules

  1. Know what it's for (them, not you): exit interviews exist to detect legal risk, spot patterns, and close the file. Change rarely follows one interview. Calibrate effort accordingly — your leverage for changing things ended when you resigned.
  2. Say — pattern-level, futureless feedback: things that help the org, cost you nothing, and discuss systems not people ("the on-call load in that team is a retention risk" not "my manager ignored burnout"). Two items maximum; more dilutes both.
  3. Soften — true things with named humans attached: convert person-feedback to process-feedback. "I'd suggest clearer promotion criteria" carries the content of "my manager promoted his friends" without the blast radius. The person-version travels; the process-version works.
  4. Skip — anything venty, unverifiable, or already-decided: grievances that fix nothing and mark the file. The test: would I want this read back to me by their lawyer, or repeated to the named person? Both happen.
  5. Legal-adjacent issues don't go here: harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wage issues — raising them casually in an exit interview is the worst of both worlds (on record enough to complicate, informal enough to dismiss). Those go through counsel or a formal complaint, chosen deliberately, not slipped into a goodbye chat.

Output Format

Exit Interview Prep: [company, conducted by]

The Brief

[What this meeting can/can't do · your 1–2 chosen messages · what you're protecting]

Prepared Answers

"Why are you leaving?" → [forward-facing, pull-not-push: the opportunity, not the escape] "What would you change?" → [your say-list items, pattern-level] "How was your manager?" → [the softened version, rehearsed]

The Sort

Real feedbackSay / Soften / SkipThe version that gets said (if any)

Trap Scripts

"Where are you going?" → [share or deflect by choice — "I'd rather share once I've started" is complete] "What would it take to keep you?" → [gracious close, not a negotiation re-open — that ship sailed with the counteroffer decision] "You can be honest — who specifically?" → [the names-stay-out line]

Quality Checks

  • Say-list is ≤2 items, both pattern-level and person-free
  • Every softened item preserves the useful content minus the names
  • Legal-adjacent issues are routed out of the interview, explicitly
  • Answers are final-sounding — nothing that reopens negotiation or invites follow-up meetings
  • The prep protects the named list (references, rehire flag, relationships)

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not treat "this is confidential" as load-bearing — prep as if notes reach the people discussed, because sometimes they do
  • Do not unload — the relief is real and expensive; venting buys nothing and marks the file
  • Do not name names attached to negative feedback, even when invited to
  • Do not litigate your performance reviews or comp history — closed chapters
  • Do not skip the prep because "it's just a formality" — unprepared honesty is how references quietly die

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What do I say in my exit interview?"
  • "Should I be honest in my exit interview?"
  • "Prep me for my exit interview."
  • "Is the exit interview confidential?"
