+# Stakeholder Influence Mapper Skill
+
+## Purpose
+Turn a product initiative into a structured influence plan — who needs to be 
+aligned, in what order, and exactly what to say to each person in their language.
+
+## Required Inputs
+- Initiative description (what you want to do and why)
+- List of key stakeholders involved (name, role, relationship to initiative)
+- Timeline pressure (when do you need a decision?)
+- Any known objections or political context
+
+## Process
+1. Build stakeholder map with: role, primary concern, decision authority 
+   (blocker / influencer / informed), current stance (supportive / neutral / 
+   resistant / unknown)
+2. Identify the critical path of conversations — who must be won before others
+3. For each stakeholder, lead with their concern, not your ask
+4. Prepare one likely objection per stakeholder and a prepared response
+5. Flag any stakeholders who should NOT be approached until others are aligned
+
+## Output Format
+
+### Stakeholder Map: [Initiative Name]
+
+| Stakeholder | Role | Primary Concern | Authority | Current Stance |
+|-------------|------|-----------------|-----------|----------------|
+| [name] | [role] | [concern] | [type] | [stance] |
+
+### Recommended Conversation Sequence
+1. **[Name first]** — because [reason they unlock others]
+2. **[Name second]** — once [first] is aligned
+[continue...]
+
+### Talking Points by Stakeholder
+
+#### [Stakeholder Name]
+**Lead with:** [Their concern, not your feature]
+**Your ask:** [One specific thing you need from them]
+**Likely objection:** [What they'll push back on]
+**Prepared response:** [How to address it without being defensive]
+**What success looks like:** [What alignment from them looks like]
+
+## Notes
+- Never send the same message to all stakeholders — calibrate every time
+- Engineering leads want technical feasibility acknowledged first
+- Finance stakeholders want ROI framing before anything else
+- Legal/compliance stakeholders want risk mitigation addressed upfront
