Write how-to guides and tutorials that naturally integrate affiliate product recommendations. Triggers on: "write a how-to guide", "tutorial for [task]", "step by step guide to [goal]", "how to [verb] with [product]", "write a tutorial blog post", "guide on how to [task]", "beginner guide to [topic]", "walkthrough for [product]", "write an educational article", "how do I [task] blog post", "write a tutorial that promotes [product]".

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

# How-To Tutorial Writer

Write practical, step-by-step tutorial blog posts that solve a real reader problem and naturally recommend affiliate products as the best tool for the job. Uses the "problem → solution → tool" pattern: establish what the reader wants to do, show them exactly how to do it, and position the affiliate product as the right instrument for each step.

## When to Use

- User wants to create educational content that drives affiliate conversions indirectly
- User says "how to", "tutorial", "guide", "walkthrough", "step by step"
- User wants to rank for "how to [task]" keywords (high traffic, lower competition than "best" keywords)
- User has a product that is best understood through demonstration, not just description
- User wants to build authority and trust in a niche before making a sale

## Workflow

### Step 1: Define the Tutorial Goal

Parse the request to identify:
- **The task**: what the reader wants to accomplish (e.g., "create AI videos for YouTube")
- **The tool**: which affiliate product enables the task (e.g., HeyGen)
- **The audience**: who is asking this question (beginner / intermediate / advanced)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add affitor/affiliate-skills/how-to-tutorial-writer@sha256:65b7766236b66e59

The 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.
