The list/roundup content type — design honestly-curated, scannable, AI-citable listicles ("7 ways to X", "best tools for Y") and expert / product / link roundups. Use when someone wants a listicle, a "best of" or "top N" list, a ranked recommendation list, an expert roundup, a product/affiliate roundup, or a curated resource list. Ranked "best-of" lists are among the most-cited formats in AI search. Uses the RANKS framework. Reads brand-profile + audience-research first. The agent designs the…
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
# listicle-and-roundup
The **list/roundup content type** — right-size the premise, assemble honestly, nail every entry, keep the scroll

The listicle is dismissed as lazy — and most are, because they're **padded** ("25 tools" with 17 of them filler)
or **self-serving** ("best X, and we're #1"). But the honestly-ranked, specific list is one of the
highest-leverage assets you can make: maximally scannable, endlessly atomizable, and **disproportionately cited
by AI search** — the ranked "best-of" is repeatedly the single most-cited format in AI answers. Two top-1%
moves separate real lists from slop. First, **the count follows the genuinely-good items** — a tight, honest "7
worth it" beats a padded 25, because the weakest entry sets the perceived quality of the whole. Second — the
counter-intuition — **the independent list compounds; the self-#1 list gets penalized.** The "best of" that earns

How to install
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/listicle-and-roundup@sha256:99ac38ab0a2c2760The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
