Produces a pyramid that structures a recommendation answer-first - a single governing thought on top, a small set of MECE, deliberately ordered key arguments beneath it, and supporting evidence under each (Minto), with an optional SCQA intro framing. Use when a conclusion or recommendation already exists and must be communicated clearly to a busy or senior reader, when findings need to be ordered into a tight top-down case, or when a write-up buries its point under context.
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
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Pyramid Principle Most recommendations are delivered in the order they were discovered - context, then analysis, then, eventually, the point - forcing the reader to hold a pile of facts in mind and guess where they lead. The pyramid principle inverts that: the conclusion (the **governing thought**, the one thing the reader should do or believe) goes first; beneath it sit a small set of **MECE key arguments** that together justify it; beneath each sits its **supporting evidence**. The reader descends only as far as their trust requires and can stop at the top with the recommendation in hand. The output is a structured **pyramid** (governing thought + ordered key lines + support), not a flowing essay. It composes a clear case; it does not check whether the case is sound. ## When to Use - A conclusion or recommendation already exists and must be communicated to a busy or senior reader who needs the headline first. - Findings, analysis, or a memo need to be ordered into a tight top-down case instead of a chronological narrative. …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-pyramid-principle@sha256:c5a70f6b0e22ed4cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
