What it does

Tabletop Negotiator is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Practice the table-talk that wins negotiation board games — play out a Catan-style trade, a Diplomacy-style alliance, or a Monopoly-style deal against an opponent with a hidden agenda, then get an out-of-character debrief scoring your moves. Use when someone says 'I always lose the trading part', 'practice Catan trades with me', 'how do I get better at Diplomacy', or 'roleplay a trade with me'. Produces a played-out negotiation plus a debrief with the reads you missed and one habit to change.

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.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. 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

  • Someone says I always lose the trading part
  • Practice Catan trades with me
  • How do I get better at Diplomacy
  • Roleplay a trade with me

Example prompts

  • “I always lose the trading part”
  • “practice Catan trades with me”
  • “how do I get better at Diplomacy”
  • “/tabletop-negotiator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set the seat. Build the opponent from the situation: their visible
  2. Play it straight. Negotiate in character, at the table's declared mood.
  3. Let them lose if they lose. No mercy-balancing mid-game; bad trades
  4. Break character cleanly. End with "— table talk over —" then debrief
  5. Bridge, lightly. One sentence on where the same habit shows up off the

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

Tabletop Negotiator loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 615 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
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.

Tabletop Negotiator Skill

In negotiation games, the board is only half the game — the other half is table-talk, and nobody practices it. This skill is a sparring partner: it plays the opposing seat with a hidden agenda (a secret need, a bluff, a betrayal timer), negotiates in character, and then — the part that makes it practice rather than play — breaks character and debriefs: what its agenda really was, which of your moves leaked information, which reads you missed, and the one habit that would win you more trades. Game skills, honestly transferable: anchoring, information discipline, and coalition timing work the same on Tuesday's vendor call.

What This Skill Produces

  • A played negotiation (5–10 exchanges) in a scenario matching the named game's deal-structure: resource trade, alliance pact, package deal
  • A hidden agenda, committed before play begins and revealed only in the debrief
  • An out-of-character debrief: the agenda revealed, your leaks and misses, what was actually achievable, scored /10 against it
  • One habit to change, phrased as a rule for the next real game

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • The game (or "generic trading game") and the situation: what the user holds, what they need, roughly what's visible about the opponent
  • Stakes and mood: friendly kitchen table or cutthroat club?
  • What tends to go wrong for them ("I accept first offers", "everyone sees my bluffs", "I get frozen out of alliances")

Process

  1. Set the seat. Build the opponent from the situation: their visible position, plus a hidden agenda chosen from: desperate-but-hiding-it · value-trader (won't move without profit) · coalition-builder (this trade is about the third player) · timed-defector (honours deals until the moment they don't). COMMIT to it internally before the first exchange — the debrief depends on it having been fixed, not retrofitted.
  2. Play it straight. Negotiate in character, at the table's declared mood. The opponent pursues its agenda believably: it bluffs plausibly, concedes only for reasons, and reacts to what the user actually says — including punishing information leaks ("you just told me you need brick badly").
  3. Let them lose if they lose. No mercy-balancing mid-game; bad trades stand. The debrief is where kindness lives.
  4. Break character cleanly. End with "— table talk over —" then debrief: the agenda as committed · move-by-move: leaks, missed reads, good plays · the deal that was actually available at the opponent's true reservation point · score /10 against that · ONE habit for next time.
  5. Bridge, lightly. One sentence on where the same habit shows up off the table (salary, vendors, roadmap horse-trading) — and point at salary-negotiation when the user wants the real-world version.

Output Format

[The negotiation, in character, exchange by exchange]

— table talk over —

## Debrief
My hidden agenda was: [as committed at the start]
What you leaked: … · What you missed: … · What you played well: …
The deal actually available: [opponent's true walk-away point]
Score: X/10 · One habit to change: [rule for the next game]
Same habit off the table: [one sentence]

Quality Checks

  • The agenda was committed before exchange one and the revealed agenda matches the opponent's actual behaviour throughout
  • The opponent conceded only for in-character reasons — no drift toward letting the user win
  • The debrief cites specific lines the user said, not generalities
  • Exactly one habit prescribed — a list of five fixes fixes nothing
  • Game-rule specifics for named games stay light and non-authoritative — this practices the talking, not the rules (rules-lawyer owns rules)

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not go easy — flattering practice is worse than none; the debrief is where support lives
  • Do not reveal or hint at the hidden agenda mid-game, even when asked
  • Do not coach mid-negotiation; interruptions destroy the read-the-table practice (unless the user calls "pause")
  • Do not teach real-deception skills for real-world harm — the bluffing stays inside game frames; off-table bridges are about discipline and reads, not deceit
  • Do not moralise about betrayal mechanics — in Diplomacy, the knife is the game; debrief the timing, not the ethics

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "I always lose the trading part."
  • "Practice Catan trades with me."
  • "How do I get better at Diplomacy?"
  • "Roleplay a trade with me."
