narrative-engine SKILL.md skillA
narrative-engine from nraford7/narrative-engine is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nraford7/narrative-engine/narrative-engine@git:20261015.f11ddfbPins git:20261015.f11ddfb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Asks Fast or Deep before work (a stated main point plus "quick" selects Fast). Transform any content into narrative-driven presentations OR prose through a minimal build spine wrapped in rich judgment — a blind focal judge, a source-holding evidence gate, and content-driven length. Use when converting content to presentations, restructuring existing decks, writing long-form pieces, or optimizing for specific audiences.
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
# Narrative Engine
## Start here — mode gate
For a new piece, first check whether the user explicitly selected **Fast** or **Deep**. One shortcut counts as selecting Fast: the user states the main point they want the piece to make AND signals speed ("quick", "just write it", "no questions"). Then go straight to Fast and say so in one line; the Fast brief still goes to the user for approval before any writing. If neither mode was selected and the shortcut does not apply, the next response is only the mode question with a brief explanation of the two choices. Stop there: no source analysis, brief, outline, writing or agent dispatch. Without a stated main point, “quick”, “just write it” or “no questions” do not select a mode. Asking the mode is part of invoking this skill, not optional discovery. Use this first-response form:
> Choose **Fast** (I infer the framing and show a brief for approval) or **Deep** (we work through the framing together). Neither is selected by default.

How to install
mdr add nraford7/narrative-engine/narrative-engine@sha256:64d83c098181ef5aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.f11ddfb, 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.
