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.
Career Pivot Plan is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the storytelling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/career-pivot-plan/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: 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.
