Teams and leaders often know something needs to change but lack a coherent, prioritized plan that addresses clarity (Rider), motivation (Elephant), and environment (Path) together. This Skill turns a diagnosis into a sequenced, actionable set of interventions so change efforts are balanced, evidence-driven, and mutually reinforcing.
Ask the skill to design interventions by saying: Design interventions for migrating the engineering team to trunk-based development.

To plan prioritized organizational change interventions, use a diagnosis-driven approach that sequences actions across Rider, Elephant, and Path dimensions. This method reads existing diagnosis files to produce balanced, evidence-driven, and mutually reinforcing intervention plans for your change scenario.
The Rider Elephant Path framework splits organizational change into clarity (Rider), motivation (Elephant), and environment (Path). It orchestrates intervention planning by giving the primary dimension deeper focus while ensuring secondary and tertiary dimensions receive meaningful, actionable change plans.
To turn a diagnosis into an actionable intervention plan, read the sticking-point ranking from your diagnosis file and sequence interventions by priority. This process writes dimension-specific markdown plans using prescribed templates, balancing evidence-driven actions across clarity, motivation, and environment.
Yes, you need a diagnosis file before designing interventions. This Skill requires an existing diagnosis document to sequence and produce Rider, Elephant, and Path intervention plans. It reads the diagnosis to prioritize sticking points and checks existing intervention files before generating new plans.
Yes, you can automate intervention planning using pipeline mode. Pipeline mode skips user confirmation prompts between dimensions, allowing the sequential generation of Rider, Elephant, and Path intervention markdown files without manual interaction for multiple organizational change scenarios.
The best way to balance motivation and environment changes is triple-dimension orchestration. It runs the full three-step intervention process for Rider, Elephant, and Path together, giving the primary dimension deeper focus while ensuring secondary dimensions receive meaningful, mutually reinforcing plans.
