How does the empathy audit work?

The skill scans drafts for passive-aggressive phrases and stressed-recipient triggers, suggesting softer, more professional alternatives to maintain psychological safety.

How does it handle task assignments?

It enforces the RASCI model, ensuring every task has a specifically named Responsible party, an Accountable party, and a hard due date instead of vague terms like 'ASAP'.

What is the difference between Upstream and Downstream modes?

Upstream mode focuses on BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) and ROI for executives, while Downstream mode focuses on context, support, and clarity for team members.

Does this skill remember my colleagues' preferences?

Yes, it integrates with your TARS memory files to adapt communication styles based on specific stakeholder profiles, current concerns, and past commitments.
