stakeholder-maps

stakeholder-maps is a skill for Claude Code from stefanoskarakasis/Product-Marketing-Skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (3,714 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A map of the people inside an organization who can support, delay, or stop an initiative. Unlike an org chart, it groups stakeholders by influence, interest, political role, and conflicts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a product launch or other important initiative. It creates a Power × Interest grid, identifies conflicts and silent blockers, and suggests who should handle each risk.
Why use it?
It exposes hidden supporters, blockers, decision-makers, and people who were left out of planning. This helps teams prepare the right message and resolve internal risks before launch.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

stakeholder-maps scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Stakeholder-Maps — Skill

How This Works

Stakeholder maps built in a vacuum are a waste of time. This skill builds a map anchored to political reality: who has power, who's a hidden champion, who's a silent blocker, and what to do before you're in the room.

The skill runs in 7 steps:

Step 0 — Load brain context (ICP, positioning, GTM motion) and guardrails from /context/meta-patterns.md if it exists (e.g., "product launches without Sales Manage Closely engagement fail 80% of the time" — an example pattern shape, not a claim this skill has already observed).

Step 1 — Intake: Initiative description, success definition, timeline, and current champions/blockers.

Step 2 — Inversion: Who could sink this from inside? (If you can't name them, the map is assumed, not validated.)

Step 3 — Classification: Place each stakeholder on Power × Interest grid; assign political role (Champion, Blocker, Frozen, Gatekeeper, Performer, Floating Voter).

Step 4 — Conflict mapping: Identify stakeholder conflicts; define second-order risks and resolution owners.

Step 5 — Silent blocker scan: Which functions/roles aren't in the room but should be?

Step 6 — Output: HTML widget (grid + comms plan + conflict map + confidence assessment) + markdown diagnostic + Sprint Cards.

Step 7 — Learning Close: log the session to /context/skill-sessions.md.


Trigger

  • When: Building a political stakeholder map for an initiative — who can kill it, who champions it, and what to say to each person.
  • Not for: Campaign messaging → use gaccs-brief after this skill. Risk analysis → use pre-mortem before this skill. GTM channel design → use go-to-market-strategy.
  • Example prompts:
    • "Who are the stakeholders for this launch?"
    • "Map the politics on this initiative"
    • "Who could block this internally?"
    • "Build a stakeholder map"

Inputs

  • Args: Initiative description, success definition, timeline, current champions/blockers. Free format — Step 1 intake fills gaps conversationally.
  • Defaults: If brain context is unavailable, this skill still runs — brain sharpens which stakeholders matter and what power they hold, but is not a hard blocker the way it is for go-to-market-strategy.
  • Context keys:
    • /foundation/brain.md — optional but recommended. Sections 2 (ICP), 3 (Alternatives & Positioning), 8 (Execution: stakeholders, approvals).
    • /context/skill-sessions.md — optional; check for a recent gtm-motions session to ground stakeholder power in the actual motion chosen. gtm-motions deliberately never writes its output to the brain (motion choice is initiative-specific, not a durable fact), so this is a session-log lookup, not a brain section.
    • /context/meta-patterns.md — optional; recurring patterns the user has logged from prior stakeholder mapping sessions.
  • Brain contract: Reads Sections 2, 3, 8. Writes: none — this skill does not write to /foundation/brain.md; it may propose new Section 8 stakeholders or approvals entries, written only by product-marketing-context after the user confirms.
  • Personal context: if /foundation/me.md exists, read it for format and detail only (see the personal context rule in SKILL-SPEC.md).
