Write an Apology Message

Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini

What you’ll be able to do

You can write a sincere apology that owns the mistake.

The problem

Apologies often ramble, make excuses, or fail to own the mistake.

What this skill does

Tell the AI what happened and ask for a sincere apology that takes responsibility and offers a fix. A good apology is brief, honest, and not full of excuses. Adjust it to sound like you.

When to use it

  • Use this when you need to apologise for a mistake, delay, or misunderstanding.
