Use when the user says "write my pitch", "help me tell my startup story", "craft my investor narrative", "why now slide", "what's our secret", "how do I explain what we do", "make my pitch compelling", "pitch deck story", "elevator pitch", "why will we win", "contrarian insight", or wants to build a persuasive, coherent narrative around their startup for investors, press, or recruiting.

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

Based on **"Zero to One"** by Peter Thiel. The core principle: every great business is built on a secret - a true belief about the world that most people disagree with or have not yet seen. A compelling pitch narrative does not start with market size or traction; it starts with the insight that makes [your startup] inevitable. Investors do not fund companies - they fund theories about the future.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Find the secret

Answer this question before writing a single slide or sentence:

"What important truth do very few people agree with you on?"

This is Thiel's core question from Zero to One. Your answer must be:
- Specific (not "AI is going to change everything")
- Contrarian (a smart person would push back)
- Defensible (you have a reason to believe it that others lack)

Examples of weak secrets: "The market is big." / "Customers want something better."
Examples of strong secrets: "Enterprise compliance teams do not actually want automation - they want audit trails, and no one is selling that." / "[Your industry] has a structural cost problem that incumbents cannot fix without destroying their existing revenue."

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/pitch-narrative@sha256:1da29fecd41817c9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.8412b01, 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.
