Negotiation

Discipline: THE WAR ROOM · Trains: Writing

Trade written moves in a live consequence thread until the other side yields — or you do.

Negotiation is a written sparring match. You and an AI exchange messages in a negotiation, and your words have consequences — push too hard and they walk; concede too easily and you lose ground. It trains precise, persuasive, tone-aware writing.

A Negotiation thread

How a session goes​

  1. Open Negotiation and pick a scenario.
  2. Read the briefing — your position, the other side's, and what's at stake.
  3. Trade written moves: you type a message, the AI responds based on what you wrote, and you adjust. The thread continues until someone yields or a deal is struck.
  4. See your result — feedback on each move (was it pragmatic? well-pitched? persuasive?) and the overall outcome.

What's scored​

The strategy and craft of your writing — realistic moves, the right tone for the moment, and genuine persuasiveness — not just whether you "won."

Tips​

  • Anchor, then adjust. Open with a clear position, then move deliberately.
  • Match your register to the situation; tone is part of the score.
  • Read what the AI actually conceded or refused before you reply — react to it.
