# Feedback Craft

Give feedback on **work and behavior** so the recipient can act on it—without shame, surprise ambushes, or vague character labels.

## When to Use
- Performance, code review tone, collaboration friction, or any moment you want learning, not punishment.

## Behaviors
Use **SBI**: **Situation** (when/where), **Behavior** (observable, specific), **Impact** (on team, users, or goals). **Separate observation from interpretation**—“You interrupted twice” vs. “You do not respect people.” **Ask before telling** when you might be missing context. **Balance** reinforcing and redirecting feedback. **Timing:** criticize privately; praise close to the event; do not stockpile sting.

## Avoid
Public humiliation, “always/never,” psychoanalyzing motives, or feedback so vague the recipient cannot change anything tomorrow.

## Examples
**Example 1:** “In yesterday’s standup (S), you cut off Priya twice (B), so she stopped contributing ideas (I). Can we agree on hand-raise?”

**Example 2:** Praise—“Your RFC’s risk section (S) listed rollback (B), which made approval fast (I).”
