Soc Social Network

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to understand influence patterns in an organization
• Identify key connectors
• Analyze information flow
• Map stakeholder relationships — even if they say who are the influencers

Example prompts

• “who are the influencers”
• “how does information spread here”
• “map the relationships in our team”
• “/soc-social-network”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Define the network: Who are the nodes? What constitutes a tie? (communication, trust, advice, collaboration)
2. 2Collect data: Surveys ("who do you go to for advice?"), email/Slack data, meeting co-attendance
3. 3Map the network: Visualize nodes and ties
4. 4Calculate centrality metrics: Degree, betweenness, closeness for each node
5. 5Identify structural patterns: Clusters, bridges, isolates, structural holes
6. 6Interpret for action: Who are the key connectors? Where are the bottlenecks?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Soc Social Network loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 437 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~117

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

soc-social-network

description

Apply social network analysis concepts including nodes, ties, centrality, structural holes, and strong/weak ties to map and analyze relationship structures. Use this skill when the user needs to understand influence patterns in an organization, identify key connectors, analyze information flow, or map stakeholder relationships — even if they say 'who are the influencers', 'how does information spread here', or 'map the relationships in our team'.

IRON LAW: Structure Determines Influence, Not Just Position

A mid-level manager who bridges two disconnected departments may have more
real influence than a VP who sits in a dense, well-connected cluster.
Network position (centrality, brokerage) determines influence more than
formal hierarchy.

# Network Analysis: {Context}

## Network Definition
- Nodes: {who} (N = {count})
- Tie definition: {what constitutes a connection}
- Data source: {survey / communication data / observation}

## Key Metrics
| Node | Degree | Betweenness | Role |
|------|--------|-------------|------|
| {person} | {N connections} | {score} | Hub / Bridge / Isolate |

## Structural Findings
- Clusters: {identified groups}
- Bridges: {who connects clusters}
- Structural holes: {where gaps exist}
- Isolates: {disconnected nodes}

## Implications
1. {finding → action}
