What it does

In Law Boundary Scripts is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Set a boundary with in-laws or extended family kindly and clearly — the words to say, a united-front approach with your partner, and a plan for the pushback. Use when asked how to set a boundary with my in-laws, my mother-in-law keeps [X], deal with overbearing family, or what to say to my partner's family.

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 to set a boundary with my in-laws
  • My mother-in-law keeps [X]
  • Deal with overbearing family
  • What to say to my partners family

Example prompts

  • “/in-law-boundary-scripts”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Name what you actually need. Get specific about the behavior and the change — vague frustration produces vague, ignorable boundaries.
  2. Align as a couple first. Agree the boundary together before raising it; a divided couple invites triangulation. Ideally each partner leads…
  3. Warm + firm, no apology. Lead with genuine appreciation, state the boundary clearly, make a concrete ask — without over-apologizing (which…
  4. Expect and hold through pushback. Guilt, hurt, and "you're overreacting" are common; a calm broken-record restatement holds the line…
  5. Keep it about behavior and forward. Focus on the specific behavior and what you'd like going forward, not a character indictment — this…

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

In Law Boundary Scripts loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 570 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~150
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 in-laws or extended family kindly and clearly — the words to say, a united-front approach with your partner, and a plan for the pushback. Use when asked how to set a boundary with my in-laws, my mother-in-law keeps [X], deal with overbearing family, or what to say to my partner's family. Produces a read on the actual issue, a warm-but-firm script for the specific situation, a partner-alignment plan (the couple presents together), how to hold the line when they push back, and de-escalation so it protects the relationships rather than blowing them up.

In-Law Boundary Scripts

Boundaries with extended family are hard because you want to protect your peace and the relationships. The trick is to be warm and clear at once, and — crucially — for the couple to be united, with each partner leading with their own family. This gives you the actual words for the situation, a plan to align with your partner first, and a way to hold the line when the guilt-trips come.

What This Skill Produces

  • The real-issue read — what's actually bothering you (unannounced visits, unsolicited advice, overstepping on the kids, comments) and what you need to change
  • A warm-but-firm script — the specific words: appreciation + the boundary + the ask, without apology or attack
  • A partner-alignment plan — agreeing the boundary together first, and who delivers it (ideally each to their own family)
  • Holding the line — responses to the pushback, guilt-trips, and "we've always done it this way"
  • De-escalation — keeping it about the behavior and the future, so it protects the relationship rather than declaring war

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The issue — the specific behavior and how often
  • Whose family — your in-laws or your own (affects who should lead)
  • The dynamic — generally warm, tense, or already conflict-ridden
  • Where you and your partner stand — are you aligned, or is your partner conflict-avoidant
  • Your goal — change the behavior while keeping the relationship, or a firmer line

Framework: United, Warm, Firm, Steady

  1. Name what you actually need. Get specific about the behavior and the change — vague frustration produces vague, ignorable boundaries.
  2. Align as a couple first. Agree the boundary together before raising it; a divided couple invites triangulation. Ideally each partner leads with their own parents.
  3. Warm + firm, no apology. Lead with genuine appreciation, state the boundary clearly, make a concrete ask — without over-apologizing (which invites negotiation) or attacking.
  4. Expect and hold through pushback. Guilt, hurt, and "you're overreacting" are common; a calm broken-record restatement holds the line without a fight.
  5. Keep it about behavior and forward. Focus on the specific behavior and what you'd like going forward, not a character indictment — this protects the long-term relationship.

Output Format

In-law boundary: issue [x] · whose family [y] · goal [z]

What you need: [the specific behavior change]. Align first (with your partner): [agree the boundary · who delivers it — ideally their own parent].

Script

[Genuine appreciation] + [the boundary, clearly] + [the concrete ask]. — warm, firm, no over-apology.

When they push back: "[calm restatement]" — hold, don't debate. Keep it: about the behavior and going forward, not their character.

Quality Checks

  • Pinpoints the specific behavior and the change wanted
  • Includes aligning as a couple and who should deliver it
  • Script is warm and firm, without over-apologizing or attacking
  • Provides responses to hold the line against pushback
  • Keeps focus on behavior/future, protecting the relationship
  • Tailored to whose family and the existing dynamic

Anti-Patterns

  • A divided couple letting the family split them.
  • Vague hints instead of a clear boundary.
  • Over-apologizing so it reads as negotiable.
  • Character attacks that torch the relationship.
  • Caving at the first guilt-trip — no plan to hold the line.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "My mother-in-law drops by unannounced constantly — what do I say?"
  • "Help me set a boundary with my in-laws about the kids."
  • "My partner's family gives nonstop unsolicited advice. How do we handle it?"
  • "How do my partner and I present a united front to their parents?"
  • "What do I say when they guilt-trip me for setting a boundary?"
