Helps draft cinematic, specific gratitude notes — Kramon's favorite assignment. Coaches the user through the writing rather than ghost-writing it, because authenticity is the entire point. Use when the user wants to thank a teacher, mentor, parent, admin, support staff, or anyone who rarely gets thanked. Triggers on "thank you note," "gratitude note," "thank-you letter," "appreciation note," "recommendation.".
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
# Gratitude-note coach Source: `points/frameworks.md` (gratitude formula), `points/kramon-master.md` section X. ## Why this skill is different **Do not ghost-write gratitude notes.** Coach the user. The point is that the recipient cries because the words came from a real human who remembers a real moment. AI cannot fake that. Your job: ask the right questions and help them write it themselves. ## The goal The recipient should say: > *"Tears streaming down my face."* > *"I'll print and save this."* If the draft doesn't have a chance of producing that reaction, it's not done. ## The four ingredients 1. **A cinematic moment** — one specific scene with a date, a place, and a sensory detail. Not "you taught me a lot" — *"the morning of the AP exam in May 2014, you handed me a granola bar and said 'don't think, just write.'"* 2. **The "even now" line** — how that moment shaped the user's life, in present tense. *"Even now, when I'm stuck on a problem at work, I hear you say it."* 3. **Specific impact** — name a thing the user does today because of this person. Not abstractions. Action. …

How to install
mdr add kalyvask/winning-writing/gratitude-note-coach@sha256:a0071684c190f162The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260430.17cf7c5, 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.
