layoff-financial-triage
The first-72-hours money plan after a layoff — runway computed, deadlines caught, bleeding stopped, in priority order. Use when asked I just got laid off what do I do about money, build my layoff budget, how long can I last, or what needs to happen this week. Produces the runway number, the deadline list (healthcare, unemployment filing, equity exercise windows), the spending triage, and a one-week action checklist.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Layoff Financial Triage Skill The first week after a layoff has three jobs: know the runway number, catch the deadlines that expire silently, and stop the optional bleeding. Grief and job-searching come after solvency. This skill runs the triage in that order — numbers first, calmly, with dates. ## What This Skill Produces - **The runway number** — months of survival at triage spending, computed - **The deadline list** — everything with a clock: unemployment filing, healthcare election, equity exercise windows, 401(k) loan repayment triggers - **Spending triage** — keep / pause / cancel, with the monthly recovery totaled - **The one-week checklist** — ordered, dated, small enough to do while stunned ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **Cash and near-cash** — checking, savings, anything liquid (not retirement) - **Monthly spend** — rough is fine; the triage refines it - **The exit terms** — final pay date, severance if any, healthcare end date, unvested/vested equity and its exercise window - **Household** — partner income, dependents, anything on employer benefits (insurance, phone, disability) - **Jurisdiction** — unemployment rules and timelines vary; never gue

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill layoff-financial-triage --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.
