What it does

Raci Matrix is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Define a RACI matrix for a cross-functional project or process. Use when asked to build a RACI, create a responsibility matrix, clarify ownership across teams, or document decision rights. Produces a complete RACI matrix with role definitions, decision mapping, and a process for resolving conflicts.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to build a RACI
  • Create a responsibility matrix
  • Clarify ownership across teams
  • Document decision rights

Example prompts

  • “/raci-matrix”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  2. RACI Matrix
  3. Decision Map
  4. Common RACI Anti-Patterns — and Fixes
  5. Communication Template
  6. RACI Review Cadence

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    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

Raci Matrix loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

Define a RACI matrix for a cross-functional project or process. Use when asked to build a RACI, create a responsibility matrix, clarify ownership across teams, or document decision rights. Produces a complete RACI matrix with role definitions, decision mapping, and a process for resolving conflicts.

RACI Matrix Skill

This skill produces a complete RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) matrix for a project, product launch, or ongoing process. Output is ready to share with teams to clarify ownership, reduce decision bottlenecks, and eliminate duplication of effort.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Project or process name
  • Key activities or decisions to map (or the user can describe the project and the skill will derive them)
  • Teams or roles involved (list team names and key individuals if helpful)
  • Primary purpose — clarifying launch ownership / onboarding a new team / reducing bottlenecks / governance documentation
  • RACI variant — standard RACI, or RASCI (adds Supportive), or DACI (Driver, Approver, Contributors, Informed)?

Output Structure


RACI Matrix: [Project / Process Name]

Version: [1.0] Owner: [Programme lead / PM] Date: [Date] Teams involved: [List teams]


1. Role Definitions

Before reading the matrix, agree on what each letter means for this project:

LetterRoleDefinitionRules
RResponsibleDoes the work. One or more people actually execute the task.Multiple Rs are allowed — but if there are many, consider splitting the task
AAccountableOwns the outcome. Signs off on decisions. Answers if something goes wrong.There must be exactly one A per row. Never two. Never zero.
CConsultedProvides expertise or input before work is done. Two-way communication.Consulted parties must be engaged — not just available. Cap at 3 per row or it becomes noise
IInformedNotified of progress or outcomes. One-way communication.Informed only — they don't review or approve

Golden rules:

  • Every row has exactly one A
  • The same person or team should not be A for more than [X] rows — spreads accountability too thin
  • C is expensive — consulting someone means they must respond. Use it intentionally
  • If someone is R they cannot also be A for the same task unless they are the decision-maker (common in small teams)

2. RACI Matrix

Columns = teams or roles. Rows = activities or decisions.

3. Decision Map

For high-stakes decisions, document the decision type, who holds authority, and how disagreements are resolved:

DecisionAuthority (A)Must consult (C)Escalation path if disagreed
Scope change >20% effort[Exec sponsor / Programme lead][PM, Engineering lead][Steering committee]
Budget overrun >10%[Finance / Exec][PM, Programme lead][CFO / Board]
Architecture pattern change[Engineering lead][Tech lead, Security][CTO]
Go-live date change[PM][Engineering, Comms, CS][Programme sponsor]
Feature cut from scope[PM][Product, UX, Engineering][CPO]

4. Common RACI Anti-Patterns — and Fixes

Review the completed matrix against these failure modes:

Anti-patternSymptomFix
Multiple AsTwo teams both think they own an outcomeAgree one A; the other becomes C or I
No ADecisions stall; no one feels responsibleAssign the most senior stakeholder as A
Everyone is CEvery decision goes to a committeeAudit each C — does this person actually provide input that changes outcomes? If not, move to I
R without AWork gets done but no one owns qualityAdd an A; usually the manager of the R
A without RAccountability without execution — manager is disconnectedAdd an R from the team; or combine A/R if appropriate
Too many RsDiffusion of responsibilitySplit the task into sub-tasks, each with one clear R
Key team missing from matrixThey're affected but not in the RACIAdd them; assign at minimum I for relevant rows

5. Communication Template

Once the RACI is agreed, use this template to communicate it to all involved teams:


Subject: [Project Name] — Roles and Responsibilities Agreed

We've finalised the RACI matrix for [Project Name]. Here's what it means for you:

[Role 1 team]: You are Accountable for [X, Y, Z activities]. This means you make the final call on those decisions and answer if outcomes are not met.

[Role 2 team]: You are Responsible for [A, B, C]. You execute the work. For [D], you are Consulted — we need your input before decisions are finalised.

[Role 3 team]: You are Informed on [E, F] — we'll send you updates at [weekly / milestone / launch]. No action required unless you see something that needs escalation.

Please review the full matrix here: [Link]. Raise any concerns by [Date] — after that, we'll treat it as agreed.


6. RACI Review Cadence

TriggerAction
New team member joinsReview rows relevant to their role — update R as needed
Phase change (e.g. discovery → delivery)Review full matrix — some Rs and As will shift
Escalation or confusion about ownershipUse the matrix to diagnose — find the missing A
3 months into a long programmeFull RACI review — roles drift over time
Team restructure or reorganisationFull rebuild — ownership assumptions change

Quality Checks

  • Every row has exactly one A
  • No individual or team is A for more than their realistic sphere of authority
  • C columns are sparse — consulting everyone dilutes the process
  • Matrix was reviewed and agreed by at least one representative from each role column
  • A communication plan exists to share the RACI with all involved parties
  • Decision map covers the top 5–10 highest-stakes decisions in the project

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not assign more than one Accountable per task — shared accountability means no accountability
  • Do not create a RACI with more than 5–6 roles — it becomes unreadable and unenforceable
  • Do not include tasks so broad that the RACI cannot be acted upon — break down to decision-level granularity
  • Do not skip the conflict resolution process — RACI matrices without a process for disputes are unused after the first disagreement
  • Do not confuse Responsible with Accountable — document the distinction clearly for each role

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Build a RACI matrix for our product launch"
  • "Create a responsibility matrix for our new cross-functional project"
  • "Who owns what on this initiative? Help me build a RACI"
  • "Map out decision rights for our engineering and product teams"
  • "Generate a RACI for a [migration / launch / process] involving [teams]"
