Map every stakeholder before engaging anyone. An agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Scoping discovery

What it does

Stakeholder Identification is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Map every stakeholder before engaging anyone. Use when launching an initiative, scoping discovery, or building an engagement plan from scratch.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `examples/sample-industrial.md`, `examples/sample.md` and `template.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Product Management skills framework built on battle-tested methods for Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and AI agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Launching an initiative
  • Scoping discovery
  • Building an engagement plan from scratch

Example prompts

  • “/stakeholder-identification”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • itk.mitre.org

    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

Stakeholder Identification loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,381 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,381 words (~3,014 tokens).

“Map every stakeholder before engaging anyone. This skill produces a comprehensive, equity-aware stakeholder set — not just the obvious sponsors and users, but the gatekeepers, the impacted communities, and the voices your team defaults to overlooking.”
