mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

trigger description
model_decision Create a structured change management plan for any organisational change. Use when asked to write a change management plan, manage a change initiative, plan a system rollout, or lead an organisational transformation. Produces a plan covering stakeholder analysis, impact assessment, communication strategy, and resistance management.

Change Management Plan Skill

Produces a structured change management plan — because most change initiatives fail not because the change is wrong, but because people aren't brought along with it.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • The change (what is changing, and what is the current state?)
  • Scale (how many people affected, in how many teams/locations?)
  • Timeline (when does the change go live? How long is the transition?)
  • Sponsor (who is accountable at senior level?)
  • Key concern (what is the biggest risk to adoption?)
  • What happens if change fails (consequences of low adoption)

Output Structure


Change Management Plan: [Change Name]

Change sponsor: [Executive owner] Change manager: [Who is running this] Go-live date: [Date] Affected population: [N people, N teams/locations]


1. Change Summary

From (current state): [Specific description of today's situation] To (future state): [Specific description of what changes] Why this change is happening: [Honest explanation — people adopt change faster when they understand the real reason] What stays the same: [Explicitly naming what is NOT changing reduces anxiety]


2. Stakeholder Analysis

Stakeholder group Size Impact level Current sentiment What they need
[Group] [N] High/Med/Low Supportive / Neutral / Resistant [Specific concern or need]

Key influencers to engage early: [Name the informal leaders, respected voices, and early adopters who can help. And the resistors who need direct attention.]


3. Impact Assessment

Area Impact Severity Action needed
Daily workflow [What changes day-to-day] High/Med/Low [Training / support / redesign]
Systems or tools [What tools are affected]
Roles and responsibilities [Any role changes]
Processes [Process changes]
Metrics and targets [Any KPI changes]

4. Communication Plan

Core message: [The 1-sentence summary everyone should understand and remember]

Audience Message focus Channel Timing Owner
All staff [Why this is happening + what to expect] All-hands / Email [T-6 weeks] Sponsor
Managers [How to support their teams] Manager briefing [T-5 weeks] Change manager
Directly affected teams [What changes for them specifically] Team meeting [T-4 weeks] Line manager
[Other group] [Tailored message]

Communication principles:

  • Over-communicate — people need to hear a message 7 times to internalise it
  • Use managers to cascade, not just top-down announcements
  • Create a feedback channel — questions left unanswered become rumours

5. Training and Support Plan

Audience Training type Timing Duration Delivery Owner
[Group] [e.g. Hands-on system training] [T-2 weeks] [2 hours] [In-person / online] [Owner]

Go-live support:

  • [What support is available on day 1 — helpdesk, floor walkers, champions]
  • [Escalation path for issues in first 30 days]

6. Resistance Management

Anticipated resistance sources:

Concern Who holds it Root cause Response
[e.g. "This will increase my workload"] [Middle managers] [Loss of autonomy] [Specific action to address]

Resistance management principles:

  • Acknowledge concerns genuinely — dismissing resistance amplifies it
  • Involve resistors in design where possible — converts them into advocates
  • Distinguish between genuine concerns (worth addressing) and preference for the status quo (to be managed, not solved)

7. Adoption Metrics

Metric Baseline Target Measurement point Owner
[System usage rate] [0%] [80%] [30 days post go-live] [Owner]
[Process compliance] [X%] [Y%] [60 days] [Owner]
[Staff confidence score] [Survey score] [Target] [90 days] [Owner]

Adoption milestones:

  • D+7: [First check — early issues identified]
  • D+30: [First adoption review]
  • D+90: [Sustained adoption confirmed or remediation plan activated]

Quality Checks

  • "What stays the same" is explicitly addressed
  • Stakeholder analysis includes resistors, not just supporters
  • Communication plan uses managers to cascade (not just top-down)
  • Training is timed before go-live (not after)
  • Adoption metrics have a measurement date and owner
  • Resistance management has specific responses (not just "communicate more")

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not treat communication as a one-time announcement — people need to hear a message multiple times before they internalise it; plan for repeated touchpoints
  • Do not assign change management to a single owner without involving line managers — managers are the most effective cascade channel and must be briefed before their teams
  • Do not schedule training after go-live — people who learn a new system on the day they need to use it will revert to the old process
  • Do not ignore resistors in the stakeholder analysis — resistors who are not explicitly engaged will undermine adoption, especially informal leaders
  • Do not measure adoption only at go-live — the real test is sustained adoption at 90 days, when novelty has worn off

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a change management plan for [initiative]"
  • "Help me plan the rollout of [system change] for [team/org]"
  • "Create a communication and training plan for [change]"
  • "How do I manage resistance to [change]?"
