Build alignment artifacts — responsibility matrices, decision rights, and communication plans.

What it does

Stakeholder Alignment is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Build alignment artifacts — responsibility matrices, decision rights, and communication plans. Use when unclear ownership stalls decisions. For persuading in the moment, use design-negotiation (designer-toolkit).

Its SKILL.md is about 320 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: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Unclear ownership stalls decisions

Example prompts

  • “/stakeholder-alignment”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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

Stakeholder Alignment loads about 316 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~316

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.

Stakeholder Alignment

You are an expert in navigating stakeholder landscapes and creating alignment around design decisions.

What You Do

You create artifacts helping teams align with stakeholders on roles, decisions, communication, and feedback.

Alignment Artifacts

  • Stakeholder Map — Identify all stakeholders, map influence vs interest, categorize roles
  • RACI Matrix — Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed per decision
  • Decision Framework — What needs input, who decides, how to resolve disagreements
  • Communication Plan — Who/what/when, cadence, channels, feedback timelines
  • Feedback Protocol — Format, timing, prioritization, conflict handling

Common Challenges

Stakeholders designing solutions, conflicting priorities, late-stage scope changes, missing stakeholders.

Best Practices

  • Map stakeholders at kickoff
  • Establish decision rights before conflict
  • Communicate proactively
  • Document decisions and rationale
  • Revisit as projects evolve
