Load this when the content is mostly known but the register matters: how direct to be, how much warmth to include, what not to soften, and how to hand the other person a real commitment without managing them.
The skill owns tone, candor, and directness. It is for saying the thing cleanly.
Do not use this to determine motive, sort ownership, choose the user's mode, simplify structure, or force a decision. Use it after the message, boundary, request, or commitment is the right object.
Return the calibrated language: the direct point, the softened-but-not-diluted version if useful, and the commitment handoff.
