Use this skill when writing outbound to a lead who surfaced from a signal \u2014 "write the message for this trigger," "personalize this off the signal, not the profile." Given a contact, their company, and the signal that surfaced them, it returns a short connection note and two follow-ups anchored to the trigger and stripped of AI tells.

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

An agent that writes outreach *from the signal*, not the profile. The trigger that surfaced someone (a raise, a hire, a move, a post) is both the reason to reach out and what the message should be about — so it reads like a person who noticed a real change, not a template with a merge field.

## Input

- `contact` — `{name, title}` and anything public about their remit.
- `company` — `{name, what_they_do}`.
- `signal` — `{type, what_happened, when}` — the trigger that surfaced this lead.
- `allowed_context` — only public or two-way-consented facts you may reference.

## Procedure

1. **Anchor on the signal's why-now.** Open on the change, not the person's title. The first line should only make sense *because* the trigger happened.
2. **Use only clean context** — public facts, or things from a real two-way exchange. Never anything that reveals scraping or surveillance.
3. **Write three touches** — a connection note (1-2 lines) and two follow-ups, each adding a new angle, not "just bumping this."
4. **Strip the AI tells** (below) and cut every word that is not load-bearing.

## Output

`{ connection_note, follow_up_1, follow_up_2 }` — short, trigger-anchored, human.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-utopia-studio/skills/signal-anchored-message@sha256:567d9b8acc9949bf

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.
