Write a Performance Improvement Plan a manager can defend and an employee can actually act on — specific concerns, measurable goals, real support, and an honest timeline. Use when asked to write a PIP, put someone on a performance plan, document underperformance, or build a formal improvement plan. Produces the concern statement, the measurable goals with success criteria, the support plan, the check-in cadence, and the consequences — HR/legal-ready. Complements pip-responder (the employee's side).

From the source SKILL.md

A Performance Improvement Plan fails when it's vague ("improve communication"), unfair (goals no one could hit), or a paper trail dressed as help. This writes the version that is genuinely fair and defensible: concrete concerns tied to examples, goals with measurable success criteria, the support the company will provide, and honest stakes — so the outcome is either a real turnaround or a decision no one can call arbitrary.

What this skill does

Pip Writer is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the content-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/pip-writer/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
