Claude 572b8acf8c Add multi-platform export generator (single source of truth)
Make the library multi-platform without duplicating content. Each
skills/<name>/SKILL.md body remains the single source of truth; a new
generator renders platform-ready exports from it.

- scripts/build-exports.mjs — dependency-free Node generator with a PLATFORMS
  registry so new platforms (Gemini, Cursor, …) are a few lines. Ships ChatGPT
  exports at exports/chatgpt/<bundle>/<skill>/SYSTEM_PROMPT.md (172 skills),
  plus generated index READMEs. Supports --platform and --check.
- exports/ — generated ChatGPT system prompts, ready to paste into a Custom GPT.
- .github/workflows/check-generated.yml — fails a PR if exports or
  web/skills.json drift from the source skills.
- README "Works With" now documents the ready-to-use exports and regen command.
- CHANGELOG + SKILL-AUTHORING-STANDARD note the generated artifacts.

Stakeholder Influence Mapper Skill

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

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Initiative description (what you want to do and why)
  • List of key stakeholders (name, role, relationship to initiative)
  • Timeline pressure (when do you need a decision?)
  • Any known objections or political context (what you're already aware of)

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
  6. Validate — Confirm every "blocker" stakeholder has a specific tactic (not just "have a conversation"), and that the sequence accounts for political dependencies

Output Structure

Stakeholder Map: [Initiative Name]

Stakeholder Role Primary Concern Authority Current Stance
[name] [role] [concern] [type] [stance]
  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

Quality Checks

  • Every blocker has a specific tactic (not just "have a chat")
  • Conversation sequence accounts for political dependencies
  • Each stakeholder's talking points lead with their concern, not your agenda
  • At least one "do not approach until X is aligned" flag is considered
  • The ask from each stakeholder is a single, specific thing (not a vague "support")

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not approach high-influence blockers before aligning their sponsors — approach order determines outcome
  • Do not create talking points that lead with your agenda — always lead with the stakeholder's stated concern
  • Do not treat every stakeholder as equally important — focus depth on the decision-makers and key influencers
  • Do not omit the "do not approach until X is aligned" flags — sequencing mistakes can permanently close doors
  • Do not build the map based only on org chart position — influence often lives outside formal authority
