The point-of-view content type — articulate, sharpen, and argue a genuinely-held contrarian stance / hot take / opinion / thought-leadership position that builds authority and real debate. Use when someone wants a POV, a hot take, an "unpopular opinion", a contrarian angle, an opinion piece, or to stop sounding like everyone else and build thought leadership. Uses the STAND framework.

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
# contrarian-and-opinion The **point-of-view content type** — stake a belief you actually hold, target the idea, argue it, steelman the other side, then declare it and engage. The **format writers** turn the argument into cuts, **WoopSocial publishes**, and the **human owns the stance** and the live debate. ## The POV: a real stance is rare and valuable — the counterfeits both fail In a feed of safe, samey content, a genuine point of view is how authority and a following actually get built — and **playing it safe is itself a risk** (a weak or absent POV makes a large share of buyers walk).

mdr add social-media-skills/skills/contrarian-and-opinion@sha256:2d2ef345b3361114The 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.
