The transformation / before-after content format — structure a credible, honest, satisfying transformation (fitness, beauty, business results, skill progress, makeovers, client glow-ups, product before/after). Use when someone wants a before/after, a transformation post, a client-results reveal, a progress/journey story, or a makeover. Most powerful format AND most abused/distrusted — honesty is the edge; FTC enforcement is live. Uses the SHIFT framework. Reads brand-profile +…

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

# before-after-and-transformation

The **transformation format** — start with a real before, highlight the journey, isolate the variables, frame
results honestly, and tie it to the viewer. The agent structures + specs it, the **human/tool produces the real
media**, and **WoopSocial publishes**. (Pairs with `social-proof-and-testimonials` for consent + the FTC rules.)

## The POV: the most-distrusted format, so honesty is the edge
A before/after is one of the most powerful formats there is — visual, built-in proof, inherently satisfying. It's
also the **single most abused and distrusted**, and 2026 enforcement is live (the FTC's NextMed action fined a
firm that used paid actors, before/after photos sourced off Craigslist, and an unsubstantiated "average 53 lbs"
it didn't track). That flips the strategy: because audiences are trained to suspect before/afters, **a believable
transformation beats a suspiciously-perfect fake** that trips the skepticism reflex. Three top-1% moves most get
wrong: **(1) the middle is the content** — endpoints alone are a flex; the process, the setbacks, and the real

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/before-after-and-transformation@sha256:b62d6d1f3b5f3a71

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
