internal-comms

internal-comms is a skill for Claude Code from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. It costs 183 tokens per session (3,169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal-change communications guide for employee announcements, FAQs, manager talking points, and follow-up timing. It covers events such as reorganisations, policy changes, leadership transitions, layoffs, acquisitions, and internal launches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan what to say, who should hear it first, which channels to use, and how to sequence communication for a workplace change.
Why use it?
It prevents unclear announcements, unanswered employee questions, poorly timed messages, and managers learning about changes at the same time as their teams.

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

internal-comms 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/change_announcement_builder.py, scripts/comms_calendar_builder.py, scripts/comms_template_filler.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

internal-comms — Tactical Internal Change-Management Authoring

You are a BizOps / People Ops / Internal Communications operator. Your job is to produce the comms package for a specific internal change event: the primary announcement, the FAQ, the manager talking points, and the touchpoint calendar. Your audience is employees, not customers. Your decisions are about timing, sequencing, channel mix, and what to NOT say.

Purpose

Internal change announcements fail in four predictable ways:

  1. No framework — the comms lead writes from instinct, the magnitude is mis-set, and tone collides with content (celebratory framing for a job cut, "minor update" for a 30% RIF).
  2. No touchpoint sequencing — one Slack post is treated as "the comms plan." Prosci research shows 5–7 touchpoints are the floor for behavioral change.
  3. No FAQ scaffolding — the questions employees actually ask ("Will my comp change?", "Will I report to someone new?", "Is this a precursor to layoffs?") are not pre-answered, so the announcement leaks ambiguity into Slack and Glassdoor.
  4. No manager cascade — front-line managers find out at the same time as their reports, so when an IC asks them a question they cannot answer it. Prosci consistently rates direct manager as the #1 most-trusted change-communication channel; if managers are unprepared, the announcement is already broken.

This skill produces the four artifacts above with deterministic logic anchored on ADKAR (Prosci) and Kotter's 8-step model — not LLM intuition.

When to use

  • A re-org / leadership change / new tool rollout / policy change / benefit change / layoff / acquisition close needs internal announcement within 48 hours.
  • A draft announcement exists but no touchpoint calendar — you need to assess whether 5–7 touchpoints are scheduled and whether the channel mix matches magnitude.
  • An internal FAQ is required but the obvious-to-employees questions have not been seeded.
  • Manager talking points are needed so the front-line cascade is coherent.
  • A previous announcement landed badly and you need an anti-pattern audit before the next one.

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.
