Negotiation Intelligence Playbook

It's Thursday afternoon. The call is in forty minutes. You've got the other party's opening position, a vague sense of your own priorities, and a notes doc with three bullet points you wrote on the commute. You know there's a better angle in here somewhere — a trade you could make, a concession that costs you nothing but matters to them. You just don't have a clean way to find it before the clock runs out.

The damage: you leave value on the table. Not because you lack the skill — because you walked in without a structured read of the situation. The deal closes, but not on your best terms. That gap compounds across every negotiation you run this quarter.

The fix is not a negotiation course or a tactics checklist. Those teach principles. They don't analyze your specific context, rank your specific leverage points, or tell you which concessions to hold and which to move on first.

This skill gives you a repeatable negotiation intelligence workflow. It reads your context, surfaces what matters most, ranks your moves by impact, and generates tight rollout guidance you can act on before the conversation starts.

What you get: SKILL.md — the complete negotiation analysis protocol, including context intake, leverage mapping, and prioritized move sequencing. SETUP_GUIDE.md — step-by-step instructions for deploying the workflow and feeding it your deal context effectively. EXAMPLES.md — worked negotiation scenarios showing exactly how the skill processes inputs and formats its output. CHANGELOG.md — version history documenting how the protocol has been refined and what each update changed. External dependency: None. Runs entirely within your agent's context.
