change-request

change-request is a skill for Claude Code from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins. It costs 52 tokens per session (883 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A change request is a structured proposal for modifying a system or process. It describes the impact, risks, approval needs, rollout plan, communications, and rollback steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before deployments, infrastructure changes, process changes, CAB reviews, and rollouts that need stakeholder communication.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers enough context to understand who is affected and how the change can be reversed if it causes trouble. This makes planned changes easier to approve and coordinate.

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

change-request 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 1mo ago.

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.

Usage

/change-request $ARGUMENTS

Change Management Framework

Apply the assess-plan-execute-sustain framework when building the request:

1. Assess

  • What is changing?
  • Who is affected?
  • How significant is the change? (Low / Medium / High)
  • What resistance should we expect?

2. Plan

  • Communication plan (who, what, when, how)
  • Training plan (what skills are needed, how to deliver)
  • Support plan (help desk, champions, FAQs)
  • Timeline with milestones

3. Execute

  • Announce and explain the "why"
  • Train and support
  • Monitor adoption
  • Address resistance

4. Sustain

  • Measure adoption and effectiveness
  • Reinforce new behaviors
  • Address lingering issues
  • Document lessons learned

Communication Principles

  • Explain the why before the what
  • Communicate early and often
  • Use multiple channels
  • Acknowledge what's being lost, not just what's being gained
  • Provide a clear path for questions and concerns
