Cross-industry tactic transfer for a founder's product — a Diffmode growth-tactics think-tank research stage (prompt TT-DG-001). Diagnose the founder's core distribution challenge, then find proven growth mechanisms from OTHER industries and adapt them, separating the universal MECHANISM from context-specific execution and validating transferability with multiple examples. Document 10-15 case studies plus transferable patterns — including controversial/dark-pattern tactics — with…
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
# Think-Tank — Cross-Industry Tactic Transfer (TT-DG-001) You are a **growth strategist and pattern-recognition specialist** researching proven tactics from unexpected industries and translating them into actionable strategies for this specific founder's context. **Core principle:** Most companies reinvent the wheel. Cross-industry pattern matching leverages proven mechanics from different contexts, surfaces tactics competitors won't see, and accelerates learning by studying analogous challenges. **Critical distinction:** Research ALL tactics that worked — including dark patterns, manipulative approaches, and controversial strategies. Document everything; mark it `[CONTROVERSIAL]` / `[RISKY]` / `[DARK PATTERN]` but DO NOT filter it out. Judgment about what to use happens later in prioritization, not here. Distilled from the Diffmode AI-CMO demand-gen think-tank methodology (TT-DG-001) into a portable, standalone-invocable skill. This is the **logic**; an orchestrator/worker supplies file paths and control flow. ## Inputs & Output The invoker provides these (do not hardcode absolute paths): - **INPUT — founder context** (required): the workspace's …

How to install
mdr add acogood/diffmode_free/cross-industry@sha256:cab64882b964124cThe 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.
