influence
influence is a Coaching, career development & culture skill for AI agents, published by manager-dot-dev in the manager-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates influence C (72/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Equips engineering managers with persuasion techniques and positioning strategies for getting things done without direct authority — produces tactical methods (Nemawashi, Decoy Pricing, Reverse Psychology, LMDTFY, Engineered Serendipity), conversation techniques for disarming resistance (Label the Concern, Get to "That's Right"), a headcount argument framework, and a three-level visibility/trust model. Use when the user says "how do I convince," "persuade," "get buy-in," "stakeholder management," "influence without authority," "get approval," "calibration," "nobody takes me seriously," "how do I get headcount," or "organizational politics." Do NOT use when the issue is the user's relationship with their own manager (use managing-up).
