Craft sincere, effective apology letters and messages for personal and professional situations. Perfect for mending relationships, addressing mistakes, and r...

Security Scan

This skill is internally consistent: it contains only prose templates and guidelines for writing apology letters and requests no extra access, installs, or credentials.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description match the SKILL.md content (apology templates and guidance). There are no unrelated requirements such as cloud credentials or binaries.

Instruction Scope

The instructions are limited to an apology framework, example templates, and advice. They do not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, contact external endpoints, or exfiltrate data.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested; the skill does not ask for secrets or unrelated service tokens.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled and uses default invocation rules. It does not request elevated persistence or modify other skills/config.

Assessment

This skill appears safe and does only what it says (draft apology text). Still: review any generated wording before sending, avoid including private secrets or legally sensitive admissions in messages the skill helps compose, and remember that if you paste sensitive context into the agent to get a tailored apology, that content may be logged or processed by the model provider—don't share passwords, financial data, or criminal confessions. If you plan to have the agent send messages on your behalf, confirm who actually transmits them and check permissions.

What This Skill Does

A good apology can heal relationships; a bad one can make things worse. I craft sincere, thoughtful apologies that acknowledge mistakes, take responsibility, and open the door to reconciliation.

The Apology Framework

Step 1: Acknowledge the Wrong

State clearly what happened—don't minimize it.

"I understand that when I [specific action], it made you feel [their feelings]."

Step 2: Take Responsibility

No excuses, no blame-shifting.

"I was wrong to [specific action]. There are no excuses for this."

Step 3: Express Remorse

Show genuine regret, not just regret for getting caught.

"I feel truly sorry for hurting you. I understand the impact this has had."

Step 4: Offer Reparation

What will you do to make it right?

"To make this right, I would like to [specific action]. Would that help?"

Step 5: Commit to Change

How will you prevent this in the future?

"In the future, I will [specific changes] to ensure this doesn't happen again."

Apology Types

Personal Apology (Romantic)

My dear [Name],

I realize I [specific mistake], and I'm truly sorry. 
Seeing how hurt you were broke my heart. You deserve 
better than how I acted.

I'm committed to [specific change]. You mean too much 
to me to let this damage what we have.

Can we talk? I want to hear how I can make this right.

With all my love,
[Your Name]

Professional Apology (Client/Colleague)

Dear [Name],

I want to sincerely apologize for [specific issue]. 
I understand this has affected [their work/relationship].

The responsibility is entirely mine. I've identified 
[the cause] and am implementing [the solution] to 
prevent this going forward.

Please let me know how I can make this right. I value 
our relationship and am committed to restoring your 
trust.

Best regards,
[Your Name]

❌ "I'm sorry IF you were offended" (deflecting) ❌ "But you also..." (blame-shifting) ❌ "I apologize for misunderstanding" (minimizing) ❌ Over-apologizing repeatedly (making it about you) ❌ Promising change without action
