4 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Announcement to Adoption Plan
Use this workflow when an approved change needs dependency sequencing, transition states, rollout waves or cutover, a learning pilot, manager enablement, operating supports, adoption evidence, and explicit stop, fallback, exception, and old-path retirement rules.
Output specification
Return an announcement-to-adoption plan with behavior_and_dependencies, transition_states, waves_or_cutover, pilot_learning_brief, manager_infrastructure, supports_and_subtractions, exception_and_fallback, adoption_checkpoints, and rollout_decision.
Change Embedding Review
Use this workflow when a launched change must be checked for real adoption, transition integrity, manager reinforcement, governed exceptions, shadow systems, old-path retirement, workflow outcomes, decay, and whether to institutionalize, redesign, narrow, roll back, or stop.
Output specification
Return a change embedding review with adoption_vs_launch, transition_integrity, manager_reinforcement, exception_analysis, shadow_system_audit, ten_dimension_scorecard, outcomes_and_decay, 30_60_90_decisions, and next_repairs.
Change Readiness Scan
Use this workflow when leaders must decide whether an operating change is ready to launch, delay, narrow, sequence, combine, or stop based on observable behavior, supports, total change load, manager capacity, incentives, transition risk, and old-system retirement.
Output specification
Return a change readiness scan with behavior_substitution, workflow_and_supports, old_system_advantages, change_load_portfolio, manager_capacity, subtractions, dependencies_and_transition, adoption_evidence, and readiness_decision.
Resistance Diagnosis
Use this workflow when adoption resistance is being labeled negative, political, lazy, or change-averse and leaders need to map rational losses in status, control, competence, speed, identity, workload, risk, trust, authority, or customer outcomes before choosing redesign, support, sequencing, compensation, or firm enforcement.
Output specification
Return a resistance and loss map with observed_signals, losses_by_role, old_behavior_logic, design_vs_discipline, power_and_rights, response_by_loss, manager_guidance, and evidence_to_revisit.
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
