What it does
Pip Responder is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Respond to a performance improvement plan strategically — decode what the PIP really is, decide fight-vs-land-softly with clear eyes, build the evidence file, and run the parallel job search the situation demands. Use when asked I was just put on a PIP what do I do, help me respond to a performance improvement plan, is my PIP survivable, or write my PIP check-in updates.

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 Job search and resumes. 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.

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
Pip Responder loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 708 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.

- Respond to a performance improvement plan strategically — decode what the PIP really is, decide fight-vs-land-softly with clear eyes, build the evidence file, and run the parallel job search the situation demands. Use when asked I was just put on a PIP what do I do, help me respond to a performance improvement plan, is my PIP survivable, or write my PIP check-in updates. Produces the honest read of the PIP, the two-track plan (perform + search), the documentation system, and templates for check-ins and the written response.
PIP Responder Skill
A PIP is sometimes a genuine turnaround offer and often paperwork for a decision already made — and the response strategy is nearly identical either way: perform visibly against the letter of the plan, document everything, and run a job search in parallel starting now. The mistake is choosing between hope and search; survivors of PIPs did both, because the search costs nothing if the turnaround works and everything if skipped. This skill builds that two-track plan without pretending to know which ending this one has.
What This Skill Produces
- The honest read — signals this PIP is recoverable vs. scripted, stated as probabilities not verdicts
- The two-track plan — meeting the PIP's letter visibly, and the search timeline mapped against the PIP clock
- The documentation system — what to save, where (never only on employer systems), from day one
- The templates — the measured written acknowledgment, weekly check-in updates, and the achievements file
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The PIP document — goals, metrics, duration, review cadence, and whether the goals are things a human can actually do
- The backstory — surprise or long-signaled? relationship with manager? recent org context (new manager, layoffs-by-another-name season)?
- Their honest self-assessment — is the criticism partly fair? (changes the perform-track, not the search-track)
- Financial runway and constraints — visa status especially, which changes the timeline math entirely and needs an immigration-aware plan
Framework: The Two-Track Rules
- Read the metrics for winnability: measurable goals a person could hit in the window = possibly genuine; vague goals ("improve communication"), moving targets, or metrics needing others' cooperation = likely scripted. Either way, both tracks run.
- Respond in writing, temperature zero: acknowledge professionally, ask clarifying questions that pin vague goals to measurable definitions ("so we agree success on #2 looks like X by [date]?"), correct factual errors flatly without adjectives. Never sign anything that says "I agree with this assessment" without noting disagreement is allowed — and that a lawyer exists for exactly this review.
- Make the perform-track visible: hitting goals silently doesn't count. Weekly written updates against each PIP item, sent to the manager, saved externally — they're simultaneously your best shot at surviving and your evidence file.
- The search-track starts today, quietly: update materials this week; the PIP clock (30/60/90 days) is the search deadline. Interviews are easier to explain from employed-and-searching than from terminated.
- Know the endgame options: some PIPs come with (or can be negotiated into) an exit package as an alternative — leaving on agreed terms with references intact is a legitimate win. Severance-agreement review belongs to a lawyer.

Output Format
PIP Response Plan: [role, clock length]
The Honest Read
[Recoverable-vs-scripted signals present here · what the metrics' winnability says · stated as a read, not a verdict]
Track 1 — Perform (visibly)
[Each PIP goal → its pinned-down measurable definition → the weekly proof artifact]
Track 2 — Search (starting now)
[Week-by-week against the PIP clock · materials, outreach, interview pacing]
Documentation System
[What to save · external storage rule · the weekly update template, ready to send]
The Written Response
[Draft: professional acknowledgment · clarifying questions pinning vague goals · factual corrections, flat tone]
A PIP has legal dimensions — signatures, discrimination/retaliation angles, severance offers, visa timelines. This is strategy, not legal advice; an employment lawyer reviewing the documents is money well spent.
Quality Checks
- Both tracks present — never hope alone or panic alone
- Every vague PIP goal has a clarifying question pinning it to something measurable
- Documentation lives outside employer systems, starting day one
- The written response is temperature-zero — no grievance, no groveling
- The lawyer line appears, and visa holders are routed to immigration-aware advice
Anti-Patterns
- Do not treat the PIP as pure formality OR pure good faith — plan for both endings simultaneously
- Do not respond emotionally in writing — every sentence may be read by a lawyer later, in either direction
- Do not skip the search because "the goals look hittable" — that's the most expensive optimism available
- Do not advise signing away disagreement or rights — flag signature moments for legal review
- Do not draft accusations of discrimination/retaliation — if the pattern smells like that, that's the lawyer's brief, not a check-in email
Example Trigger Phrases
- "I was just put on a PIP what do I do."
- "Help me respond to a performance improvement plan."
- "Is my PIP survivable?"
- "Write my PIP check-in updates."
