What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Career Pivot Plan loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 577 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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

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.

description
Build a realistic plan to change careers — mapping your transferable skills, the real gaps, and a bridge that doesn't require torching your income overnight. Use when asked to help me change careers, career pivot plan, how do I switch to [field], or I want a new career but don't know how. Produces a transferable-skills map, an honest gap analysis to the target role, a staged bridge (skill-building, positioning, side-door entry), a financial-runway reality check, and a narrative that reframes your background as an asset — not a starting-from-zero story.

Career Pivot Plan

Career changes stall on two myths: "I have to start from scratch" and "I have to quit and figure it out." Neither is true. Most pivots are bridges — leveraging what transfers, closing specific gaps, and entering through a side door — often without a heroic income cliff. This maps your transferable strengths, the real gaps, and a staged plan that gets you there while staying solvent.

What This Skill Produces

  • A transferable-skills map — what from your current background genuinely carries into the target field (usually more than you think)
  • An honest gap analysis — the specific skills, credentials, or experience the target role actually requires that you lack
  • A staged bridge — a sequence (learn → build proof → reposition → side-door in) rather than a single leap
  • A runway reality check — the financial and timeline realities, and lower-risk paths (transitional roles, hybrid moves, moonlighting)
  • A repositioning narrative — how to tell your story so your background reads as an asset, not a liability
  • Concrete next steps — the first few moves to start now

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • From → to — your current field/role and the target
  • The why — what's driving the change (helps aim it)
  • Your assets — skills, experience, network, and any relevant interests/projects
  • Constraints — financial runway, timeline, obligations, risk tolerance
  • What you've explored — any research or steps already taken

Framework: Bridge, Don't Leap

  1. Inventory what transfers. Most skills (communication, analysis, project work, domain knowledge) carry across — map these first to shrink the perceived gap.
  2. Analyze the real gap, honestly. Identify what the target role genuinely requires that you lack (skills, credential, portfolio, network) — not a vague sense of unqualified.
  3. Stage the bridge. Build skills and proof, reposition your story, and look for side-door entries (adjacent roles, internal moves, transitional titles) rather than a cold leap.
  4. Respect the runway. Be realistic about money and time; favor lower-risk paths (moonlighting, a transitional role, part-time study) over quitting into uncertainty.
  5. Rewrite the narrative. Frame the background as an asset the target field values, with a clear "why this makes sense" story — not an apology for a change.
  6. Start small now. Give the first concrete steps (a conversation, a course, a project) to build momentum.

Output Format

Career pivot: [from] → [to] · runway [x] · why [y]

Transfers (your assets): [skills/experience that carry over]. Real gaps: [specific skills/credentials/experience to close]. The bridge (staged)

  1. Learn: [what].
  2. Build proof: [project/portfolio/credential].
  3. Reposition: [narrative + profile].
  4. Side-door in: [adjacent/transitional entry]. Runway check: [financial/timeline reality → lower-risk path]. Your narrative: [background as asset — the "why this fits" story]. Start now: [first 2–3 moves].

Quality Checks

  • Maps genuine transferable skills first
  • Analyzes the specific real gaps, not a vague deficit
  • Stages a bridge instead of a single leap
  • Includes a financial-runway reality check and lower-risk paths
  • Reframes the background as an asset with a clear narrative
  • Gives concrete first steps

Anti-Patterns

  • "Start from zero" framing that ignores transferable skills.
  • Advising a quit-and-figure-it-out leap with no runway plan.
  • A vague gap ("get more experience") with no specifics.
  • No repositioning narrative — leaving the background unexplained.
  • All planning, no first step.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "I want to change careers from teaching to UX — help me plan it."
  • "How do I pivot into tech without starting completely over?"
  • "I'm burnt out in my field and want something new but don't know how."
  • "What's a realistic path to switch careers without going broke?"
  • "How do I make my background make sense for a new industry?"
