SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing performance feedback often devolves into vague character criticism or confusing "feedback sandwiches" that leave recipients unclear about what to change. This Skill structures feedback around observable behavior and measurable impact so reviews, peer praise, and coaching conversations are specific, fair, and actionable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - SBI Framework: Structures feedback into Situation, Behavior, and Impact steps, enforcing the "video-camera test" so only observable facts are described. - Forward-Looking Commitments: Extends SBI with an agreed alternative behavior and a scheduled check-in, turning criticism into a concrete action plan. - Deliverable Template: Produces a structured FEEDBACK-MEMO.md record covering context, SBI analysis, required future behavior, and recipient response. - Use Case: A manager needs to address an engineer who missed a committed deadline without warning. The Skill produces a memo anchoring the situation (sprint planning, 10 AM), the observable behavior (no Jira update until Friday), the impact (frontend blocked two days, demo rescheduled), and an agreed commitment (post blockers in #eng-blockers within 2 hours). ## Quick Start Write constructive feedback for a team member who repeatedly interrupts colleagues in meetings, using the Situation-Behavior-Impact model with a concrete improvement commitment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write constructive performance review feedback?▼

Structure feedback with the Situation-Behavior-Impact model: anchor the exact time and place, describe only observable actions a video camera could record, then explain the business or team impact. Close with a concrete forward-looking behavioral commitment rather than litigating the past.

What is the Situation-Behavior-Impact feedback model?▼

SBI is a feedback framework from the Center for Creative Leadership that separates observable actions from assumed motives. You state the situation, describe the specific behavior without adjectives or mind-reading, and explain the resulting impact on the team or business.

How do I give difficult feedback without causing defensiveness?▼

Avoid the feedback sandwich that hides criticism between fake compliments, and never deliver developmental criticism publicly. Ground the conversation in objective facts, skip character judgments like "lazy" or "arrogant", and agree on a specific future behavior together.

Can this help write a Performance Improvement Plan?▼

Yes, the SBI-A extension supports PIP-style documentation by pairing each observed behavior and impact with a required future behavior, an agreed next action, and a scheduled check-in review date, typically two weeks out.

When should I not use written SBI feedback?▼

SBI feedback fits developmental coaching, peer reviews, and performance documentation, but it is not designed for navigating co-founder disputes, structuring mentorship check-ins, or designing hiring evaluations, which require different frameworks.
