Build a realistic plan to change careers — mapping your transferable skills, the real gaps, and a bridge that doesn't require torching your income overnight.

From the source SKILL.md

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.

What this skill does

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.
