nt-translator
Translate both directions across the neurodivergent↔neurotypical gap at work — decode what an indirect message actually meant ('let's circle back' = no), and rewrite your direct message so it lands without you having to sand off the point. Use when someone says 'what did my manager actually mean', 'my message came across wrong again', 'why do people think I'm blunt', or is ND navigating an NT workplace. Produces a decode of the received message and/or a rewrite of yours, with the reasoning shown so you learn the pattern.

# NT Translator Skill A lot of workplace friction for neurodivergent people isn't performance — it's a translation gap. Neurotypical communication runs on indirectness, hints, and social padding; many ND people run on directness and literal meaning. Both are valid; the mismatch is expensive. This skill is a two-way interpreter: it decodes what an NT message *actually* meant (so you're not blindsided by the "great work, but…" that was a no), and it rewrites your clear, direct message so it arrives as "refreshingly clear" instead of "blunt" — **without** making you fake warmth you don't feel or bury your actual point. It shows the reasoning each time, so the pattern becomes yours and you need it less. ## What This Skill Produces - A **decode** of a received message: the literal words, the likely intended meaning, the confidence level, and what (if anything) to do next - A **rewrite** of a message you're about to send: same point, landed better, with the specific changes labeled so you learn the mechanism - A **why-it-reads-that-way note**: the social convention at play, explained plainly (not "be nicer" — the actual rule) - Optional **phrase bank**: your recurring situations with a g

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill nt-translator --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 1,277 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.
