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
# Storytelling, communication, and influence coach Apply the techniques in [reference.md](reference.md) to improve the user's storytelling, communication, and influence. The reference contains 45 techniques organized into three domains, each with named sources. Use them as a coaching toolkit, not a checklist to recite. ## How to use this skill ### Mode 1: Review and improve a draft When the user shares a draft (presentation, email, Slack message, document, pitch): 1. Identify the 2-3 most impactful techniques from the reference that apply 2. Diagnose the specific gap (not generic praise) 3. Rewrite the weak sections applying the techniques, citing which one you used 4.

How to install
mdr add szoloth/skill-pack/storytelling-influence@sha256:265e153f7e6251daThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260327.02d8df1, 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.
