change-management is a skill for Codex from bestagentkits/agency-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (2,485 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of change-management, MIT.

A playbook for introducing organisational changes, such as a restructure, new process, tool migration, or strategy shift. It uses the ADKAR model, which guides people from understanding a change to adopting it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan announcements, stakeholder communication, adoption steps, resistance responses, and transitions between tools or ways of working.
Why use it?
It addresses the people and communication problems that often cause otherwise sound changes to fail. It helps identify resistance and manage change fatigue during rollout.

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-management 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 8d 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.

Change Management Playbook

Most changes fail at implementation, not design. The ADKAR model tells you why and how to fix it.

Core Model: ADKAR Adapted for Startups

ADKAR is a change management model by Prosci. Original version is for enterprises. This is the startup-speed adaptation.

A — Awareness

What it is: People understand WHY the change is happening — the business reason, not just the announcement.

The mistake: Communicating the WHAT before the WHY. "We're moving to a new CRM" before "here's why our current process is killing us."

What people need to hear:

  • What is the problem we're solving? (Be honest. If it's "we need to cut costs," say that.)
  • Why now? What would happen if we didn't change?
  • Who made this decision and how?

Startup shortcut: A 5-minute video from the CEO or decision-maker explaining the "why" in plain language beats a formal change announcement document every time.


D — Desire

What it is: People want to make the change happen — or at least don't actively resist it.

The mistake: Assuming communication creates desire. Awareness ≠ desire. People can understand a change and still hate it.

What creates desire:

  • "What's in it for me?" — answer this for each stakeholder group, honestly
  • Involving people in the "how" even if the "what" is decided
  • Addressing fears directly: "Some people are worried this means their role is changing. Here's the truth: [honest answer]"

What destroys desire:

  • Pretending the change is better for everyone than it is
  • Ignoring the legitimate losses people will experience
  • Making announcements without any consultation

Startup shortcut: Run a short "concerns and questions" session within 48 hours of announcement. Not to reverse the decision — to address the fears and show you're listening.

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.
