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

## Overview

Based on **"Building a StoryBrand"** by Donald Miller (2017). Miller's core claim is that companies
lose customers because they force the customer to burn calories working out what is on offer, and
that story is the one structure the brain processes without effort. The fix is to cast the customer
as the hero and the brand as the guide. This skill produces a reusable brand script and messaging
hierarchy that the writing skills downstream all draw from.

## Where this method comes from: the SB7 framework

Miller's SB7 is seven story beats in a fixed order. The order is the method: a guide who appears
before the problem has nothing to be a guide about, and a call to action before the plan asks the
customer to jump a gap they cannot see. All seven are worked in the steps below.

| SB7 beat | The question | Worked in | Most common failure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. A character | What does the customer want? | Step 1 | Stating what the product does instead |
| 2. Has a problem | External, internal, philosophical | Step 2 | Only the external one is ever written |
| 3. Meets a guide | Empathy plus authority | Step 3 | The brand casts itself as the hero |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/messaging-framework@sha256:fd83c1ae8949bfab

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.7dfb5c7, 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.
