Apply Ryan Holiday''s perennial seller framework. Trigger on: "will this work last?", "position my book/product", "build an enduring launch".

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

## Overview
This skill encodes Ryan Holiday's framework from *Perennial Seller* for creating work that earns continued success over years and decades rather than fading after initial release. The book draws on Holiday's experience working with authors, businesses, and creative projects — and his own books that continue to sell steadily years after publication.

**Core thesis:** Most creators optimize for short-term success (what's trending, what gets clicks today). Perennial sellers optimize for longevity. The strategies are almost exactly opposite.

**The fundamental rule:** "Promotion is not how things are made great — only how they're heard about." The work itself is the foundation; everything else builds on it.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill for queries that match the trigger phrases in the description and require applying the decision framework from *Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work That Lasts* rather than summarizing the book.

## Four-Part Framework

### Part I: The Creative Process
**Make something worth making.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add simbajigege/book2skills/perennial-seller-holiday@sha256:d888670113dc862e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260501.32e482d, 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.
