Clarify brand messaging using narrative structure that positions the customer as hero. Use when the user mentions "brand message", "website copy", "elevator pitch", "one-liner", "brand script", "StoryBrand framework", "customer as hero", or "my messaging isnt resonating". Also trigger when rewriting homepage copy, crafting email nurture sequences, or creating consistent messaging across sales and marketing collateral. Covers landing page copy, marketing collateral, and consistent communication.

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

# StoryBrand Messaging Framework

Clarify your message so customers will listen. Customers don't buy the best products — they buy the ones they can understand the fastest.

## Core Principle

**The customer is the hero, not your brand.** Your brand is the guide who helps the hero win. Position yourself as the hero and you compete with your customer; position yourself as the guide and you serve them.

## Scoring

**Goal: 10/10.** Score any marketing copy or brand messaging by the Quick Diagnostic: 1 point per satisfied row (7 rows) plus up to 3 points for a one-liner that passes the cocktail party test (clear + repeatable in one hearing). Bands: 9-10 = customer is the hero, all three problem levels named, empathy + authority both shown, a 3-step plan, one obvious Direct CTA, and both success and failure stakes painted; 5-6 = SB7 partly applied but the internal problem, stakes, or CTA is missing; <=3 = brand-as-hero, feature-led, or no clear ask. Always state the current score and the specific changes needed to reach 10/10.

## The SB7 Framework

Every compelling story follows the same pattern. Use this structure for all messaging:

### 1. A Character (The Hero)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wondelai/skills/storybrand-messaging@sha256:a11d015c33e6d5e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.0, 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.
