Included
01Get a word-for-word text or script for grief situations — no 'they're in a better place,' no platitudes that land wrong.
02Tipping numbers by country and service type — restaurants, hotels, taxis in the US, UK, Europe, Japan, and more.
03Three versions of 'no' — a clean no-explanation decline, a soft no, and a longer no that keeps the friendship intact.
04A raise conversation script built around what NOT to say as much as what to say — before your next 1:1.
05RSVP, thank-you note, hostess gift, and introduction guidance calibrated to your relationship and the formality level.
06Prints as a clean one-page HTML cheat sheet for the specific situation — keep it in your pocket or screenshot it.
What it does
You're staring at your phone trying to figure out what to say to your friend whose dad just died, and everything that comes to mind sounds hollow or wrong. Or you have a raise conversation in nine hours and you don't know how to open it. Or your brother's destination wedding is financially impossible and you need to tell him before he sends the save-the-date to a hundred people.
This skill is the grown-up in the room who was actually paying attention. It covers what to say in grief situations (pet, parent, divorce, job loss, miscarriage), how to decline gracefully at three different softness levels using the gracious-no-templates, tipping by country and service type with committed numbers, and the raise-script-templates that tell you what to say AND what kills the conversation before it starts. Every response includes a 'if you only remember one thing' line so even if you're panicking, you have an anchor.
Built for people who didn't get an etiquette download growing up and are now handling real stakes in real time. Not a list of rules — specific language for your specific situation, ready to print or screenshot.
Frequently asked
What do I say when someone's parent dies — will it just give me generic condolences?
No. The skill loads a dedicated grief reference that explicitly filters out platitudes — 'everything happens for a reason,' 'they're in a better place,' 'at least they lived a long life' — and gives you restrained, non-hollow language calibrated to your relationship with the person. Text, note, and in-person versions.
Can I use this to figure out tipping in Europe or Japan, not just the US?
Yes. The tipping-by-country reference covers committed numbers (not 'it varies') for the US, Canada, UK, core European countries, and Japan across restaurants, hotels, taxis, and service staff. It will tell you when tipping is actually rude.
Does it write the actual words I should say, or just give me advice?
It writes the words. Every scenario outputs suggested language you can use as-is or adjust — a text to send, sentences to say out loud, an email to copy. The raise templates, decline templates, and grief scripts are all word-for-word starting points, not bullet-point frameworks.
Can I just write a prompt myself and get this out of a regular Claude conversation?
You could try, but the skill comes pre-loaded with five reference documents — grief etiquette, tipping by country, raise scripts, gracious-no templates, and tone guidance — that don't exist in a blank Claude session. You'd spend 20 minutes reconstructing what's already here, and you'd miss the nuance in the grief reference especially.
Does this work for really hard situations — like leaving an abusive relationship, or ending a long friendship?
Yes, those are explicitly in scope. The skill is built to handle high-stakes, emotionally loaded conversations — not just 'which fork do I use.' It adjusts tone based on what you're dealing with and won't give you chirpy advice when the situation calls for something more serious.
