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 **"Traction"** by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares. The core principle: traction is the only thing that cuts through noise, and fundraising is a distribution problem. Most investor cold emails fail because they lead with the idea instead of the evidence. Weinberg's framework applied to fundraising: treat each investor channel like a traction channel - test messaging, measure response rate, optimize the conversion step (email to meeting), and do not scale outreach until the message converts. An email that does not get a meeting is not a pipeline problem; it is a message problem. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Qualify the investor before writing anything Sending a cold email to the wrong investor wastes both parties' time and costs you reputation.

How to install
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/fundraising-email@sha256:97d7ed9a6ea7b7afThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.8412b01, 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.
