# Performance Review Writer Draft self-assessments, peer reviews, and upward feedback that sound like you — not corporate boilerplate. Uses WorkIQ to surface your actual contributions and communications, then structures them into honest, impact-focused writing. ## When to Use - "Write my self-assessment for this review cycle" - "Draft a peer review for [colleague]" - "Help me write upward feedback for my manager" - "I have my annual review due — help me fill it out" - "Draft my mid-year check-in" - "Write a 360 review for [name]" - "I don't know what to say in my performance review" ## Review Types This skill handles three distinct types: | Type | Who it's about | Typical tone | |---|---|---| | **Self-assessment** | Yourself | Confident, evidence-backed, growth-oriented | | **Peer review** | A colleague | Specific, constructive, balanced | | **Upward feedback** | Your manager | Diplomatic, honest, forward-looking | --- ## Workflow ### Step 1 — Gather Context Ask the user (max 3 clarifying questions if not already provided): 1. **Review type** — self-assessment, peer review, or upward feedback? 2. **Subject** — who is the review about?

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?

From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 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.
