From the source SKILL.md

This skill addresses the relationship between a Director-level demand gen or RevOps leader and the person they report to: a CEO, CRO, VP of Marketing, or other executive. The goal is not to manage around the manager. The goal is to build enough trust and communication quality that the manager stops needing to manage closely, because they have confidence in what is happening and what will happen.

What this skill does

Managing Up is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the automation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/managing-up/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
