change-and-adoption skillA
change-and-adoption is agent-read markdown (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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

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 …
