What it does
One Hard Truth is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Get the single honest thing you're avoiding about a situation — said kindly but not softened away. Use when asked tell me the hard truth, what am I avoiding here, be honest with me about this, or what do I not want to hear. Produces the one thing you already half-know but keep sidestepping, said plainly and with care (not cruelty), why it's hard to face, and what facing it would actually make possible — because the truth you're avoiding is usually the one that would change things, and a kind voice can say what…
Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 tell me the hard truth
- What am I avoiding here
- Be honest with me about this
- What do I not want to hear
Example prompts
- “/one-hard-truth”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Find the one that matters. Not a list of flaws — the single truth that, if faced, would most change the situation. That's usually the one…
- Say it plainly. Hedged truth isn't truth. State it directly, in a sentence, without burying it in qualifiers.
- Say it with care. Kindness is in the intent and the delivery, not in softening it into meaninglessness. Aim to help, not to hurt.
- Name why it's hard. Acknowledge the real cost of facing it — that's why it's been avoided, and naming that makes it easier to accept.
- Open a door. Follow the truth with what it makes possible and one small first move — truth without a path is just a wound.
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
One Hard Truth loads about 963 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
- Get the single honest thing you're avoiding about a situation — said kindly but not softened away. Use when asked tell me the hard truth, what am I avoiding here, be honest with me about this, or what do I not want to hear. Produces the one thing you already half-know but keep sidestepping, said plainly and with care (not cruelty), why it's hard to face, and what facing it would actually make possible — because the truth you're avoiding is usually the one that would change things, and a kind voice can say what your own keeps ducking.
One Hard Truth
There's usually one thing you already sense but keep steering around — about the relationship, the job, the habit, the plan. Everyone around you is too polite to say it, and you're too close to face it. This says the one hard truth plainly and kindly: not to hurt you, but because naming it is what unlocks the situation. Kind and honest aren't opposites — cruelty and cowardice are the opposites; this is the third thing.
What This Skill Produces
- The one hard truth — the single honest thing you're avoiding, stated plainly (not five criticisms — the one that matters)
- Said with care — direct but kind, aimed at helping, not wounding
- Why it's hard to face — what makes it uncomfortable (it costs something, it means change, it dents the story you tell yourself)
- What facing it opens up — the thing that becomes possible once it's named and accepted
- A first move — one small step that facing the truth makes available
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The situation — what you want the honest read on
- Your current story — how you're framing it (the truth often lives just outside this)
- What you suspect you're avoiding — if you already half-know
- How direct you want it — plain, or gentle-but-clear
Framework: One Truth, Kindly, With A Door
- Find the one that matters. Not a list of flaws — the single truth that, if faced, would most change the situation. That's usually the one being avoided.
- Say it plainly. Hedged truth isn't truth. State it directly, in a sentence, without burying it in qualifiers.
- Say it with care. Kindness is in the intent and the delivery, not in softening it into meaninglessness. Aim to help, not to hurt.
- Name why it's hard. Acknowledge the real cost of facing it — that's why it's been avoided, and naming that makes it easier to accept.
- Open a door. Follow the truth with what it makes possible and one small first move — truth without a path is just a wound.

Output Format
The situation: [what you want honesty on]
The one hard truth: [the single honest thing, plainly]. Why it's hard to face: [the real cost — change, a story dented, something given up]. But here's what facing it opens: [what becomes possible]. One first move: [a small step facing it makes available].
(Said because it might help — not to be harsh.)
Quality Checks
- Delivers ONE truth (the one that matters), not a pile of criticisms
- States it plainly, without hedging it into mush
- Is kind in intent and delivery, not cruel
- Names why it's genuinely hard to face
- Opens a door — what facing it makes possible + a first move
Anti-Patterns
- A list of flaws instead of the one truth.
- Hedging it until it says nothing.
- Cruelty mistaken for honesty.
- Cowardly softening that avoids the truth entirely.
- A wound with no door — truth and no path forward.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Tell me the hard truth about my relationship."
- "What am I avoiding about this job?"
- "Be honest with me — what do I not want to hear about this plan?"
- "What's the thing everyone's too nice to tell me here?"
- "Give it to me straight about this situation."
