What it does
Change And Adoption is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Gets people to actually use what was delivered — stakeholder analysis, communication, training, resistance, and measuring adoption. Use this to plan a rollout, recover an implementation nobody is using, handle resistance to a change, sequence communications, or work out why a technically successful project changed nothing.
Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).
The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. 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.
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
Change And Adoption loads about 888 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 487 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

Use this to plan a rollout, recover an implementation nobody is using, handle resistance to a change, sequence communications, or work out why a technically successful project changed nothing.
Change and adoption
The characteristic expensive failure is a system delivered on time, on budget, to specification, and not used. The project succeeded and the investment did not.
Map who is affected and what it costs them
Stakeholder analysis usually stops at influence and interest. The operative question is what each group loses: status, autonomy, expertise that took years to build, a workaround they were proud of, or simply a routine that worked.
Resistance is almost always rational from where the person stands. Treating it as ignorance produces more communication aimed at the wrong problem, and confirms to the affected group that nobody understands their work.
Communicate in the order people need
The sequence that works is why, then what, then how, then when — and organizations reliably lead with what and when, which is the project's perspective rather than the audience's.
State what is changing for this audience specifically. A general announcement is heard as not applying to anyone in particular.
Be honest about costs. A change presented as pure benefit, where the audience can see the cost, loses the credibility needed for everything said afterwards. Naming the downside is what makes the upside believable.
Local credibility beats hierarchy
People adopt what respected colleagues adopt. A message from an executive establishes that the change is sanctioned; it does not establish that it is sensible.
Find the people others actually ask, involve them early enough to influence the outcome, and let them carry it. Involvement after the decisions are made is recognized as decoration and costs more credibility than it buys.
Train at the moment of use
Training delivered weeks ahead of availability is forgotten. Deliver close to go-live, in the context of the real work, with support available in the first days when everyone hits the same three obstacles.
people:learning-and-development covers building durable capability; this is landing a specific
change.

Measure adoption, not deployment
Licenses deployed, accounts created and sessions logged measure nothing about whether the work changed. Measure the behavior: is the new process being followed, is the old path still being used, have the outcomes moved?
Watch for the workaround. Where people have quietly kept the old spreadsheet, adoption is nominal — and the workaround is data about what the new system fails to do, not merely non-compliance.
Adoption is the mechanism by which pmo:benefits-realization becomes possible; without it there is
nothing to realize.
Sources
references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions
here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before
answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free
to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.
Never
- Treat resistance as a communication deficit without asking what the change costs.
- Lead with what and when instead of why.
- Involve influential users only after the decisions are made.
- Report adoption from deployment statistics.
