Iterative newsletter writing workflow for Ben Van Sprundel's audience. Use when Ben wants to write a newsletter from research, an insight, an idea, or a YouTube video transcript. This is a CREATIVE, STEP-BY-STEP process. Never output a complete newsletter immediately. Each step requires suggestions, user decision, then progression to next step. Pairs with /research upstream and /image downstream. Triggers: newsletter, write newsletter, email content, repurpose video, insight to newsletter.

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

# Ben's Newsletter Writer

An iterative, creative workflow for writing newsletters in Ben's authentic voice.

## Critical Rules

1. **NEVER output a complete newsletter immediately.** This is a step-by-step creative process. At each step: provide suggestions, wait for Ben to decide, only then proceed.
2. **ALWAYS read the specified context documents at each step.** Each step lists REQUIRED READING. Do not skip it.
3. **Write only from the provided context documents.** Do not invent strategies, stories, facts, or stylistic habits not evidenced in the inputs.

## Context Documents Location

All documents are in the `references/` folder bundled with this skill:
- `references/01_Ben_Profile_Background.md` - Ben's story, credentials, values
- `references/02_What_We_Do_Offer.md` - The offer and value proposition
- `references/03_ICP_Ideal_Customer_Profile.md` - Target audience details
- `references/04_Voice_Personality.md` - Tone and messaging
- `references/05_Newsletter_Strategy.md` - Positioning and core beliefs
- `references/06_Frameworks_and_Patterns.md` - Outline frameworks, subject line and hook patterns

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/newsletter@sha256:284edad7c7b0019e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.898cddf, 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.
