Soc Innovation Diffusion

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to plan adoption strategy
• Segment adopters
• Cross the chasm from early adopters to mainstream
• Predict adoption curves — even if they say how do we get more people to use this

Example prompts

• “how do we get more people to use this”
• “why isn”
• “how do we reach the mainstream”
• “/soc-innovation-diffusion”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Pick a beachhead segment: ONE specific niche within the early majority
2. 2Deliver a whole product: Not just the core product — the complete solution including support, integrations, documentation
3. 3Win the segment completely: Become the de facto standard in that niche
4. 4Use that win as reference: Pragmatists buy what other pragmatists use
5. 5Expand to adjacent segments: Bowling pin strategy — each niche conquest enables the next

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Soc Innovation Diffusion loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 500 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~110

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.5k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~5.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Apply Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations theory to analyze how new products, ideas, or technologies spread through populations. Use this skill when the user needs to plan adoption strategy, segment adopters, cross the chasm from early adopters to mainstream, or predict adoption curves — even if they say 'how do we get more people to use this', 'why isn't our product taking off', or 'how do we reach the mainstream'.

IRON LAW: The Chasm Is Real — Early Adopters ≠ Mainstream

Visionaries (early adopters) buy because it's NEW and they can tolerate
imperfections. Pragmatists (early majority) buy because it WORKS and
others already use it. These are fundamentally different buyer psychologies.

Success with early adopters does NOT predict mainstream success.
The strategy that wins innovators will FAIL with the majority.

# Diffusion Analysis: {Innovation}

## Innovation Profile
| Factor | Assessment | Implication |
|--------|-----------|------------|
| Relative advantage | H/M/L | {detail} |
| Compatibility | H/M/L | {detail} |
| Complexity | H/M/L (lower = better) | {detail} |
| Trialability | H/M/L | {detail} |
| Observability | H/M/L | {detail} |

## Current Adoption Stage
- Estimated penetration: {X%}
- Current adopter category: {Innovators / Early Adopters / Chasm / Early Majority / etc.}

## Chasm Strategy (if applicable)
- Beachhead segment: {specific niche}
- Whole product gaps: {what's missing for a complete solution}
- Reference strategy: {how to get pragmatist references}

## Adoption Acceleration Plan
1. {action to improve weakest adoption factor}
