What it does

Reconnect After Time Away is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Rebuild relationships with family, kids, and friends after incarceration or a long absence — how to reach out, repair trust at the other person's pace, and handle the hard first conversations. Use when asked how do I reconnect with my kids after prison, rebuild trust with family after being away, or the first conversation after a long absence.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 do I reconnect with my kids after prison
  • Rebuild trust with family after being away
  • The first conversation after a long absence

Example prompts

  • “/reconnect-after-time-away”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check the limits first. Custody orders, no-contact conditions, and a caregiver's gatekeeping set the rules — honor them absolutely…
  2. Lead with a no-pressure opening. First contact acknowledges the gap and asks for nothing — forgiveness demanded is forgiveness delayed.
  3. Rebuild by consistency, not declarations. Trust returns through reliable small actions over time; say less, show more.
  4. Take the anger without defending. When it comes, receive it — defensiveness reopens the wound; steadiness heals it.
  5. Go at the child's pace and through their caregiver. With kids, patience and the caregiver's cooperation matter more than any single visit.
  6. Accept the doors that stay closed. Some relationships won't reopen; respecting that is part of the repair, not a failure of it.

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

Reconnect After Time Away loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 200 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~200
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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
Rebuild relationships with family, kids, and friends after incarceration or a long absence — how to reach out, repair trust at the other person's pace, and handle the hard first conversations. Use when asked how do I reconnect with my kids after prison, rebuild trust with family after being away, or the first conversation after a long absence. Produces a paced reconnection plan (who to reach first and how), opening messages that don't demand forgiveness, a way to rebuild trust through consistency rather than words, scripts for the hard conversations, and realistic expectations about time and rejection — so reconnection is steady and genuine, not a pressured single grand gesture. Centers the other person's pace; points to family therapy and reentry family services.

Reconnect After Time Away

Coming back into people's lives after a long absence is its own hard work — trust was broken by time and distance, and it rebuilds at their pace, not yours, through consistency more than apologies. This maps a steady reconnection: who to reach first and how, openings that don't demand forgiveness, trust rebuilt by showing up reliably, scripts for the hard talks, and honest expectations — so you rebuild something real instead of forcing a moment.

What This Skill Produces

  • A paced plan — who to reach out to first (and who to give more time), and at what tempo, led by their readiness not your urgency
  • Opening messages — first contact that acknowledges the absence, asks for nothing, and leaves the door open without pressure
  • A trust-through-consistency approach — the small reliable actions (showing up, following through, being where you said) that rebuild trust words can't
  • Scripts for the hard conversations — apologies without excuses, answering "where were you," and accepting anger without defending
  • Kid-specific guidance — reconnecting with children at their developmental level and through their caregiver, patiently
  • Realistic expectations — that some doors stay closed, reconnection is slow, and that's not failure — with a pointer to family therapy

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Who — the relationships you want to rebuild (kids, partner, parents, friends) and their current openness
  • The history — how you left off, roughly, and how long
  • Constraints — any legal/custody/no-contact limits that control what's allowed
  • Your hope — what reconnection would look like, so we pace toward it realistically

Framework: Their Pace, Shown Not Said

  1. Check the limits first. Custody orders, no-contact conditions, and a caregiver's gatekeeping set the rules — honor them absolutely; violating them destroys trust and can be illegal.
  2. Lead with a no-pressure opening. First contact acknowledges the gap and asks for nothing — forgiveness demanded is forgiveness delayed.
  3. Rebuild by consistency, not declarations. Trust returns through reliable small actions over time; say less, show more.
  4. Take the anger without defending. When it comes, receive it — defensiveness reopens the wound; steadiness heals it.
  5. Go at the child's pace and through their caregiver. With kids, patience and the caregiver's cooperation matter more than any single visit.
  6. Accept the doors that stay closed. Some relationships won't reopen; respecting that is part of the repair, not a failure of it.

Output Format

Reconnecting: after [time away]

Limits to honor first: [custody / no-contact / caregiver gatekeeping — non-negotiable]. Order & pace: [reach first: who/how · give time: who · tempo led by their readiness]. Opening message: "[acknowledge absence · ask for nothing · door open]." Trust plan: [the small reliable actions over time — shown not said]. Hard-conversation scripts: [apology without excuses · "where were you" · receiving anger]. With kids: [their pace · through the caregiver · patient consistency]. Expectations: [slow · some doors closed · that's not failure] · consider family therapy.

Custody, no-contact, and supervision conditions control what contact is allowed — follow them exactly and confirm with your attorney/officer. Family therapy and reentry family services can help.

Quality Checks

  • Honors legal/custody/no-contact limits before any outreach
  • Opens without demanding forgiveness
  • Rebuilds trust through consistent action, not declarations
  • Scripts apologies without excuses and receiving anger
  • Paces to the other person (and children) realistically; points to therapy

Anti-Patterns

  • A single grand gesture instead of steady consistency.
  • Demanding forgiveness or fast reconciliation.
  • Defending yourself when anger surfaces.
  • Ignoring custody/no-contact limits — harmful and often illegal.
  • Treating a closed door as failure rather than something to respect.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I reconnect with my kids after being away?"
  • "Help me rebuild trust with my family after prison."
  • "What do I say in the first conversation after so long?"
  • "I want to reach out but I don't want to pressure them."
  • "How do I handle it when they're still angry at me?"
