ai-adoption-playbook: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ai-adoption-playbook CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from adimango/ai-adoption-playbook. It costs 2,911 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A consulting framework for leaders planning how an organization adopts AI. It is aimed at roles such as founders, CTOs, operations leaders, and engineering executives, rather than developers looking for coding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for company-wide AI adoption planning, progress reviews, board reporting, and consulting engagements.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague AI initiative into a structured way to diagnose progress, plan work, and report results to leadership.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-adoption-playbook CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AI Adoption Playbook

A skills framework for leaders responsible for AI adoption — founders, CTOs, CAIOs, VPs of Engineering, COOs, or anyone who needs to show the board that AI investment is producing results. Not a coding tool. Not a PM tool. A consulting methodology in agent-readable skills.

Who This Is For

Any leader who got handed the "make AI work here" mandate and has to report progress to leadership. This includes:

  • Founders and CTOs — board is asking about AI strategy, need structured answers
  • VPs/Directors of Engineering — got "AI adoption" added to their OKRs, need to move 50-200 engineers
  • Chief AI Officers and fractional CAIOs — need a repeatable framework across teams or clients
  • COOs at non-tech companies — no CTO exists, AI adoption landed on their desk
  • Consultants and advisors — need a structured diagnostic and planning methodology for client engagements

Skills adapt to company size and role: lighter touch for small teams, deeper process for large orgs.

NOT for: companies with established AI/ML teams already driving adoption, engineers seeking coding tools, ML researchers.

The Problem

Founders buy AI tool licenses, tell teams to use them, nothing happens. Board asks "what's your AI strategy?" — no good answer. This playbook breaks that loop.

Three Pillars

Every AI adoption failure maps to one of these. Every skill diagnoses or addresses them.

  1. Psychological barriers — fear of replacement, identity threat ("I don't need a crutch"), perfectionism, social signaling
  2. Integration failures — tools don't fit workflows, wrong first use case, too much friction, tried once and gave up
  3. Ownership gaps — nobody owns it, no metrics, no accountability, no feedback loop, leadership doesn't model behavior

Board-Readiness Principle

The throughline. Every skill output must be expressible in terms a VC understands: specific numbers, clear timelines, named owners, ROI framing. No "we're exploring." No "our developers love it." Numbers or it didn't happen.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
