Communicate data insights to non-technical stakeholders in a structured, persuasive format. Use when the user says "present these findings", "explain this analysis to leadership", "make a data presentation", "tell the story behind the data", "translate this into a business narrative", "make this insight actionable", "stakeholder readout", "executive summary of results", or needs to turn analysis output into a decision-ready document or slide deck.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Overview Based on **"Storytelling with Data"** by Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic. The core principle: data does not speak for itself. Context, audience, and a clear call to action determine whether an insight drives a decision or gets ignored. Every data communication is a story with a protagonist (the audience), a tension (the problem), and a resolution (the recommended action). Remove everything that doesn't serve that arc. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Define the audience and the decision they need to make Before touching a chart or a sentence, answer: - Who is in the room? (technical ICs, business leads, C-suite?) - What decision do they need to make as a result of seeing this? - What do they already believe? What might they push back on? Write one sentence: "After seeing this, [audience] should [specific action or decision]." This sentence controls everything downstream. ### Step 2: Lead with the conclusion, not the methodology Knaflic's rule: the insight goes first. The supporting evidence follows. Structure: 1. Situation - what context does the audience need? 2. Complication - what changed or what problem exists? 3. Resolution - what does the data say to do? …

How to install
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/data-story@sha256:dfcbd6ea9a64f2fbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.8412b01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
