What it does
Pip Writer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a Performance Improvement Plan a manager can defend and an employee can actually act on — specific concerns, measurable goals, real support, and an honest timeline. Use when asked to write a PIP, put someone on a performance plan, document underperformance, or build a formal improvement plan. Produces the concern statement, the measurable goals with success criteria, the support plan, the check-in cadence, and the consequences — HR/legal-ready. Complements pip-responder (the employee's side).
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 to write a PIP
- Put someone on a performance plan
- Document underperformance
- Build a formal improvement plan
Example prompts
- “/pip-writer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Behaviour, not character. Every concern is an observable action or output, with an example — never "attitude."
- Measurable or it's not a goal. "Respond to customer tickets within SLA on 95% of tickets," not "be more responsive."
- Support is real. If the plan asks for change, it names what help comes with it — else it's a setup.
- The bar is achievable. A goal no one at level could hit is evidence of bad faith, not underperformance.
- Consequences stated plainly. The employee should never be surprised by the outcome.
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 Writer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 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.

- Write a Performance Improvement Plan a manager can defend and an employee can actually act on — specific concerns, measurable goals, real support, and an honest timeline. Use when asked to write a PIP, put someone on a performance plan, document underperformance, or build a formal improvement plan. Produces the concern statement, the measurable goals with success criteria, the support plan, the check-in cadence, and the consequences — HR/legal-ready. Complements pip-responder (the employee's side).
PIP Writer
A Performance Improvement Plan fails when it's vague ("improve communication"), unfair (goals no one could hit), or a paper trail dressed as help. This writes the version that is genuinely fair and defensible: concrete concerns tied to examples, goals with measurable success criteria, the support the company will provide, and honest stakes — so the outcome is either a real turnaround or a decision no one can call arbitrary.
Not legal advice. Employment law varies by jurisdiction and contract — have HR/counsel review before delivery.
What This Skill Produces
- The concern statement — what's below bar, tied to specific, dated examples (not personality)
- The goals — 2–4, each with a measurable success criterion and how it's evidenced
- The support plan — what the manager/company will do (coaching, resources, time)
- The cadence — check-in schedule and what each reviews
- The stakes & timeline — the plan length, the review points, and the honest consequence of not meeting bar
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The role & bar — what "meeting expectations" looks like for this level
- The specific gaps — concrete instances, with dates where possible (an audit trail beats adjectives)
- What's already been tried — prior feedback, informal or documented
- Timeline — 30 / 60 / 90 days, and any policy constraints
- The goal — genuine turnaround vs. documented exit; the plan is honest either way, but the framing differs
Framework: A Fair, Defensible PIP
- Behaviour, not character. Every concern is an observable action or output, with an example — never "attitude."
- Measurable or it's not a goal. "Respond to customer tickets within SLA on 95% of tickets," not "be more responsive."
- Support is real. If the plan asks for change, it names what help comes with it — else it's a setup.
- The bar is achievable. A goal no one at level could hit is evidence of bad faith, not underperformance.
- Consequences stated plainly. The employee should never be surprised by the outcome.
Output Format
Show full SKILL.md (215 more words)Show less
Performance Improvement Plan — [name], [role]
Period: [start]–[end] · Manager: [x] · HR partner: [x]
Areas of concern
| Concern | Specific example(s) | Expected standard |
|---|
Improvement goals
| Goal | Measurable success criterion | Evidence | By |
|---|
Support provided
- [coaching / training / resources / adjusted workload]
Check-ins
- [cadence]; each reviews [progress vs. criteria]
Outcome
- If goals are met by [date]: [result]. If not: [honest consequence].
- Acknowledgement (signature ≠ agreement, just receipt): ______
Quality Checks
- Every concern has at least one specific, dated example — no character judgments
- Every goal has a number or a binary, verifiable criterion
- The support plan names concrete help, not just expectations
- The timeline and consequences are stated explicitly
- A reasonable person at this level could hit these goals with the support offered
- Flagged for HR/legal review before delivery
Anti-Patterns
- Vague concerns ("communication," "ownership") with no example — unactionable and indefensible.
- Goals with no measure — "improve quality" can't be passed or failed.
- A plan with stakes but no support — reads as manufactured, not corrective.
- Surprise consequences — the outcome must be foreseeable from day one.
- Documenting an exit while claiming turnaround — be honest internally about which this is.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a PIP for an engineer missing delivery commitments."
- "Put together a 60-day performance improvement plan."
- "Help me document underperformance fairly before I talk to HR."
- "Draft a formal improvement plan with measurable goals and support."
