agenda-or-cancel
Enforce the simplest meeting rule that works — no agenda, no meeting — with the three-line agenda format (purpose, decisions sought, pre-reads), the 24-hour rule, and the graceful cancel scripts. Use when asked write an agenda for this meeting, should this meeting happen, our meetings have no agendas, or cancel this meeting politely. Produces the three-line agenda, the happen-or-cancel verdict, the cancel/convert scripts, and the team norm rollout.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Agenda Or Cancel Skill The agenda isn't paperwork — it's the meeting's existence test. A meeting whose organizer can't write three lines (what this is for, what we'll decide, what to read first) is a meeting that hasn't earned its attendee-hours, and the kindest outcome is its cancellation or conversion to a message. This skill writes the agenda when one can be written, renders the cancel verdict when it can't, and scripts the graceful exits — because "no agenda, no meeting" only works as a norm when declining is socially cheap. ## What This Skill Produces - **The three-line agenda** — purpose (one sentence), decisions/outcomes sought (listed), pre-reads with time cost - **The verdict** — happen / shorten / convert-to-async / cancel — from the agenda-writing attempt itself - **The scripts** — the polite cancel, the convert-to-message, and the decline-without-agenda lines - **The norm rollout** — how a team installs the rule without a compliance war ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The meeting's claimed purpose** — what the organizer thinks it's for; the agenda attempt tests whether that survives writing down - **The attendee list and length** — the cost side

Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill agenda-or-cancel --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
