What it does

The Org Simulator is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Stress-test a proposed org change before announcing it — simulate who gains, who loses, who blocks, where friction erupts in the first 90 days, and run the memo leak test: how does this land when it leaks before you announce it? Use when planning a reorg, changing reporting lines, merging or splitting teams, moving a function, or 'how will this org change land?'. Produces a winners/losers map, a friction forecast, the leak-test read, and a sequenced announcement plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Load testing. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning a reorg
  • Changing reporting lines
  • Splitting teams
  • Moving a function

Example prompts

  • “how will this org change land?”
  • “/the-org-simulator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Simulate seats, not boxes. For each key person: scope Δ, status Δ
  2. Find the undecideds. The middle managers and senior ICs who could go
  3. Forecast friction concretely. Not "there may be resistance" but "the
  4. Run the leak test. Rewrite the draft announcement's message as
  5. Sequence the rollout. Order: losers first, privately, from someone

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

The Org Simulator loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 755 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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
Stress-test a proposed org change before announcing it — simulate who gains, who loses, who blocks, where friction erupts in the first 90 days, and run the memo leak test: how does this land when it leaks before you announce it? Use when planning a reorg, changing reporting lines, merging or splitting teams, moving a function, or 'how will this org change land?'. Produces a winners/losers map, a friction forecast, the leak-test read, and a sequenced announcement plan.

The Org Simulator Skill

Org changes are designed on the box-and-line level and experienced on the who-do-I-report-to-now level. The gap between those two is where reorgs fail: the map made sense, but the two best engineers quit, the middle managers went quiet, and the memo leaked on Tuesday before the Thursday announcement. This skill simulates the experienced version before the announced version exists — seat by seat for the key people, faction by faction for the rest, plus the one test almost nobody runs: reading the memo as the person it demotes, on a screenshot, out of context.

What This Skill Produces

  • A winners / losers / undecided map — by named seat for key people, by group for the rest: what each actually loses or gains (scope, status, access, headcount, identity), not what the memo says they gain
  • A friction forecast: the 5–8 specific breakpoints of the first 90 days, each with likelihood, blast radius, and the cheap preventative
  • The leak test: the announcement read as a screenshot by its least charitable reader, plus what the corridor version of it will say by Friday
  • A sequenced rollout plan: who hears it in which order, from whom, with the one question each conversation must answer

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • The change: current structure → proposed structure, and the honest why (the memo-why and the real-why, if different — the simulation needs both)
  • The key seats affected: names/roles, current scope, and what's known of their ambitions and frustrations
  • History that shapes reception: previous reorgs and how they went, standing rivalries, recent departures
  • Timing and constraints: what's fixed, what's still movable, who already knows

Process

  1. Simulate seats, not boxes. For each key person: scope Δ, status Δ (title, audience, room access), boss Δ, identity Δ ("am I still the platform person?"). Losses count double — people fight losses harder than they chase gains. Mark each seat: champion / accepter / quiet-resister / flight-risk, with the because.
  2. Find the undecideds. The middle managers and senior ICs who could go either way decide reorg outcomes; list who they'll ask about it in the first 24 hours — those people, not the memo, are the actual communication channel.
  3. Forecast friction concretely. Not "there may be resistance" but "the two platform leads now share one headcount pool and will collide at Q3 planning". For each: likelihood, blast radius, the cheap preventative available before announcement (a scope clarification, a title fix, a pre-conversation).
  4. Run the leak test. Rewrite the draft announcement's message as received by its least charitable reader from a screenshot with no context, no Q&A, no follow-up meeting. If the leaked version is fatal, the announcement isn't ready. Then write the corridor version — the one sentence people will actually repeat — and check it's survivable.
  5. Sequence the rollout. Order: losers first, privately, from someone they trust (hearing it in the all-hands is how flight-risks convert) → undecideds' influencers → champions armed with the honest FAQ → everyone. Each conversation gets the one question it must answer for that hearer. Pressure-test the final plan against [[machiavelli-counsel]]'s friends-of- the-old-order column if politics run deep.

Output Format

## The change in one line (memo-why · real-why)

## Seat map
| Seat | Scope Δ | Status Δ | Reads as | Champion/Accepter/Resister/Flight-risk | Because |

## The undecided middle
[Who they are · who they'll ask in the first 24h]

## Friction forecast — first 90 days
| # | Breakpoint (specific) | Likelihood | Blast radius | Cheap preventative |

## Leak test
[The screenshot read, least charitable voice · the corridor sentence ·
verdict: survivable / fix before announcing]

## Rollout sequence
| Order | Who | From whom | The one question this conversation must answer |

Quality Checks

  • Every key seat's read includes a because grounded in scope/status/ identity — no one is labelled a resister without a stated loss
  • At least one friction item the user hadn't foreseen (probe the shared- resource collisions and the title deltas — that's where they hide)
  • The leak test uses the least charitable reading, not the intended one, and issues a verdict
  • Losers hear it first and privately in the rollout, or the plan argues explicitly why not
  • The simulation stays a planning tool: predictions are labelled as predictions about reactions, not verdicts on people

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not simulate boxes ("Team A reports to B") — simulate Tuesday morning for the person whose title just got shorter
  • Do not let the memo-why hide the real-why from the simulation; people react to the real-why they infer, not the memo-why they're given
  • Do not use the seat map as a loyalty dossier — it plans communication, not retaliation; decline that turn if asked
  • Do not skip the leak test because "it won't leak" — the test costs ten minutes and reorg memos leak at a rate that rounds to always
  • Do not end without the preventatives — a friction forecast with no cheap fixes is just organized dread

[[machiavelli-counsel]] for the power analysis under this; [[change-management-plan]] for the full formal program; [[stakeholder-influence-mapper]] for the influence graph the rollout sequence rides on.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Plan a reorg."
  • "Split teams."
  • "Move a function."
  • "How will this org change land?"
