Implements David Marquet’s communication framework to replace command-and-control language with empowering plays for modern knowledge work.

This skill integrates David Marquet's 'Leadership Is Language' framework into Claude's behavior, helping teams distinguish between execution (Redwork) and thinking (Bluework). By applying six specific communication 'plays'—such as controlling the clock and collaborating instead of coercing—it guides users through shifting from a compliance-based culture to one rooted in commitment and collective decision-making. It is particularly valuable for software teams and leaders looking to flatten hierarchies, improve psychological safety, and ensure that the 'doers' are the 'deciders' by changing how information is requested and shared.
