Use when stakeholders need aligned working agreements, resolving decision authority ambiguity, navigating cross-functional conflicts, establishing governance frameworks (RACI/DACI/RAPID), negotiating resource allocation, defining escalation paths, creating team norms, mediating trade-off disputes, or when user mentions stakeholder alignment, decision rights, working agreements, conflict resolution, governance model, or consensus building.
Creates explicit stakeholder alignment through negotiated working agreements, clear decision rights (RACI/DACI/RAPID), and conflict resolution protocols.

resources/evaluators/rubric_negotiation_alignment_governance.jsonresources/methodology.mdresources/template.mdCreate explicit stakeholder alignment through negotiated working agreements, clear decision rights, and conflict resolution protocols—transforming ambiguity and tension into shared understanding and actionable governance.
Decision Authority Ambiguity:
Cross-Functional Conflict:
Alignment Needs:
Negotiation Scenarios:
Negotiation-alignment-governance creates explicit agreements on:
1. Decision Rights (Who Decides):
2. Working Agreements (How We Work):
3. Conflict Resolution (When We Disagree):
Example: Product wants to ship fast, Engineering wants quality. Instead of endless debates:
Copy this checklist and track your progress:
Negotiation Alignment Governance Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Map stakeholders and tensions
- [ ] Step 2: Choose governance approach
- [ ] Step 3: Facilitate alignment
- [ ] Step 4: Document agreements
- [ ] Step 5: Establish monitoring
Step 1: Map stakeholders and tensions
Identify all stakeholders, their interests and concerns, current tensions or conflicts, and decision points needing clarity. See Common Patterns for typical stakeholder configurations.
Step 2: Choose governance approach
For straightforward cases with clear stakeholders → Use resources/template.md for RACI/DACI and working agreement structures. For complex cases with multiple conflicts or nested decisions → Study resources/methodology.md for negotiation techniques, conflict mediation, and advanced governance patterns.
Step 3: Facilitate alignment
Create negotiation-alignment-governance.md with: stakeholder map, decision rights matrix (RACI/DACI/RAPID), working agreements (communication, quality, processes), conflict resolution protocols, and escalation paths. Facilitate structured dialogue to negotiate and reach consensus. See resources/methodology.md for facilitation techniques.
Step 4: Document agreements
Self-assess using resources/evaluators/rubric_negotiation_alignment_governance.json. Check: decision rights are unambiguous, all key stakeholders covered, agreements are specific and actionable, conflict protocols are clear, escalation paths defined. Minimum standard: Average score ≥ 3.5.
Step 5: Establish monitoring
Set up regular reviews of governance effectiveness (quarterly), define triggers for updating agreements, establish metrics for decision velocity and conflict resolution, and create feedback mechanisms for stakeholders.

Common Mistakes:
Key Insight: Explicit governance reduces coordination costs over time. Initial investment in alignment pays dividends through faster decisions, less rework, and lower conflict.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
