Finds the unexpected, dry, or self-deprecating angle that makes an email memorable. Turns "professional and polite" into "this person sounds like a real human." Use when a draft is technically correct but forgettable, when the user wants humor without slapstick, or when they need a subject line or sign-off with personality. Triggers on "make it funny," "more personality," "less corporate," "humor," "memorable subject line," "sign-off ideas.".
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
# Fun angle Source: `points/core-rules.md` rule 9 (warmth and humor), `points/cold-email-rules.md` rule 3 (subject lines), `points/examples-and-critiques.md` (the model letters that worked). ## Why this exists Kramon's class rule: *"Humor is non-negotiable.

A line, an image, a self-aware aside, a subject line that's slightly weird. This skill exists because most people are scared to be funny in professional writing, so they default to safe. Safe gets deleted. ## What works ### 1. Self-deprecation that doesn't beg for sympathy ✅ *"I spent last weekend reading your Substack instead of my OB pre-reads, and I'm not sure that was the wrong trade."* ✅ *"I open Google Docs and stare at it like it owes me money."* ✅ *"Collecting degrees like infinity stones."* What works: the joke is at the writer's expense, but it's confident — not "poor me," more "yes, I see it too." ❌ *"I know I'm probably wasting your time but..."* ❌ *"Sorry to bother you, I'm just a humble student..."* This is begging. Cut. …

How to install
mdr add kalyvask/winning-writing/fun-angle@sha256:e37e455095abd1e6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260514.f5e2df1, 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.
