Install Stakeholder Map

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add phuryn/pm-skills --skill stakeholder-map

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads stakeholder-map when the request matches its description.

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the stakeholder-map skill”. In Codex, type $stakeholder-map.

Stakeholder Mapping & Communication Plan

Map stakeholders on a Power × Interest grid and create a tailored communication plan for each group.

Context

You are helping build a stakeholder map for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files (org charts, project briefs, team rosters), read them first. If they describe the product or initiative, use that context to infer likely stakeholders.

Instructions

  1. Identify stakeholders: List all relevant individuals and groups — executives, engineering leads, designers, marketing, sales, support, legal, finance, external partners, and end users.

  2. Classify each stakeholder on two dimensions:

    • Power (High/Low): Their ability to influence decisions, resources, or outcomes
    • Interest (High/Low): How much the project directly affects them or how engaged they are
  3. Place stakeholders in the Power × Interest grid:

    High Interest Low Interest
    High Power Manage Closely — Regular 1:1s, involve in decisions, seek their input early Keep Satisfied — Periodic updates, escalate only critical issues
    Low Power Keep Informed — Regular status updates, invite to demos, gather feedback Monitor — Light-touch updates, available on request
  4. For each quadrant, recommend:

    • Communication frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
    • Communication format (1:1, email, Slack, meeting, dashboard, all-hands or AMA; for a large Keep Informed group, an anonymous live Q&A lets people raise the concerns they wouldn't in a meeting, see the live-qa skill)
    • Key messages and framing
    • Potential risks if this stakeholder is neglected
  5. Create a communication plan table:

    Stakeholder Role Power Interest Strategy Frequency Channel Key Message
  6. Flag potential conflicts: Identify stakeholders with competing interests and suggest alignment strategies.

Think step by step. Save the stakeholder map as a markdown document.
