Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Change Management Playbook Most changes fail at implementation, not design. The ADKAR model tells you why and how to fix it. ## Keywords change management, ADKAR, organizational change, reorg, process change, tool migration, strategy pivot, change resistance, change fatigue, change communication, stakeholder management, adoption, compliance, change rollout, transition ## 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 **Wha

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill change-management --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From alirezarezvani/claude-skills, a repository with 23,791 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
