SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Business chat history is hard to turn into a defensible decision picture: concerns get lost, approval dependencies stay implicit, and AI summaries guess at roles and authority. This Skill turns already-collected, normalized conversation messages into an evidence-bound Decision Topology and Stakeholder Influence Map so you can choose the next business action with traceable support. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Decision Influence Signal extraction: Detects direction changes, blocking signals, approval dependencies, agenda setting, escalation targets, and execution ownership, each bound to message IDs and source locators. - Evidence discipline: Separates direct evidence, inferred interpretation, and missing knowledge; never derives formal roles from chat behavior; records Unknowns instead of guessing. - Governed output: Produces a structured Markdown report with handling classification, quality gate results, human review items, and knowledge promotion candidates. - Use Case: Given exported Teams or Slack messages about a production release decision, identify who is blocking the decision, which concern must be resolved first, and who to brief before the next meeting. ## Quick Start Analyze the attached normalized conversation messages about the release decision and produce a Decision Topology Analysis with stakeholder influence map and recommended next actions.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze stakeholder influence in Teams or Slack conversations?▼

Provide normalized conversation messages with sender, timestamp, message ID, and source URL for a defined topic and period. The Skill extracts decision influence signals such as blocking, approval dependency, and agenda setting, each bound to specific message evidence.

What is a Decision Topology in conversation analysis?▼

A Decision Topology is the evidence-bound structure of decisions, concerns, dependencies, participants, and unresolved paths for a scoped topic. It is built from normalized messages and paired with a Stakeholder Influence Map showing each participant's observed role and signals.

Does this Skill connect directly to Slack, Teams, or email APIs?▼

No. It only analyzes normalized evidence already collected by a product-specific MCP server, API, or extractor. It does not access, connect to, or mutate any source system.

Can conversation analysis infer a person's formal role or authority?▼

No. Formal roles and approval authority must come from reviewed organization or decision-rights knowledge. Chat behavior only supports an observed role, which is labeled as interpretive with a confidence level.

What are the limitations of decision topology analysis?▼

It cannot evaluate employee performance, personality, or personal power, and it must not be used for HR or surveillance purposes. Missing domain knowledge produces explicit Unknowns rather than guesses, and consequential interpretations require human review.
