An Agent Skill that helps an AI agent structure a clear, brief decision request for a busy decision-maker.
You ask for approval. The agent puts the question first, gives one everyday picture, compares the options side by side, recommends one, and states the downside of its own pick. The format aims to keep every decision-critical fact above the stop line.
Why
AI agents can produce long, careful, hedged answers. A manager reading on a phone may need the question, the choice, and the material risk first. Supporting detail can follow below the stop line; any fact that could change the choice must stay above it.
This skill also discourages two habits that can distort a pitch:
- **Steering.** The agent must name the downside of its own recommendation.
- **Hiding options.** "Wait" or "do nothing" stays on the table when it is a real choice.
When the agent uses it
When you ask it to get a decision, approval or sign-off from someone who does not share your technical background — a manager, an executive, a client, a stakeholder. Typical cases: a security change, a vendor choice, a budget request, a risky deployment.
What the output looks like
> **Ask:** Locked slot or master key for the new delivery service?
>
> **Picture:** A building has 20 flats, and a new courier needs to reach flat 7. A master key opens every flat; a locked delivery slot accepts one defined kind of envelope for flat 7 only. If the courier is compromised, the key exposes every flat, while the slot permits only the defined delivery.
>
> **Reality check:** This analogy compares access scope, not likelihood or downstream impact.
>
> **Why now:** Nothing reaches flat 7 until you choose. Waiting is safe — it only delays.
>
> | | Slot | Master key |
> |---|---|---|
> | What | One fixed delivery action for flat 7 | Access to every flat |
> | Gain | Limits the courier to the needed action | Fastest to set up |
> | Risk | Courier could misuse that fixed action | Courier could access all 20 flats |
> | Cost | Create, test, and review one narrow permission | Issue and manage one broad key |
> | Undo? | Revoke the permission; past effects remain | Revoke the key; copied information or past effects remain |
>
> **Pick:** Slot. Downside: one more step and a review first.
>
> **Need:** Yes or no on the slot.

Install
**Coding agents supported by the skills CLI**, including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor:
npx runs a separately fetched third-party command that this project has not audited. Prefer copying the files from a tagged release (the manual option below).
**Claude Code, by hand:** copy the skills/boss-pitch folder into ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ (one project).
