strategic-narrative-designer

strategic-narrative-designer is a skill for Claude Code from aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills. It costs 187 tokens per session (3,209 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A five-part story about how a market is changing: the old situation, the important shift, who benefits or struggles under the new rules, the better future, and evidence that future is possible.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps frame category changes, explain a shift from the current way of working to a proposed future, and organise supporting evidence for that argument.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a market change matters instead of presenting only a list of product features. It gives later brand messaging a clear narrative structure.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

strategic-narrative-designer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strategic Narrative Designer

Builds the Raskin-style strategic change narrative — the five-beat arc that reframes a market before any tagline exists: old world (the status quo and its now-shaky assumptions) → the undeniable shift (what changed that nobody can unsee) → winners vs losers (who wins and who is stranded under the new rules) → the promised land (the future the shift makes possible) → proof the promised land is real (the evidence, each beat labeled and traceable). It is the first move of the TALE Architect phase and feeds the A dimension's strategic narrative arc present (old world → the shift → the new game → the promised land → proof), not just a feature list sub-item (see tale-benchmark.md). The arc is the spine message-system-architect hangs the durable message house on, so its quality is upstream of the A1 canon-integrity veto — but this skill authors story structure, never the canon record itself.

Scope guard: this skill produces the strategic narrative arc only. It does not author the durable message house — tagline, pillars, boilerplate, canon record (that is message-system-architect, which seeds the narrative-registry); build the sales/fundraising pitch deck narrative (pitch-narrative-builder); reconcile positioning against shippable reality (positioning-truth-tracer owns the truth set this reads); adjudicate any product or comparative claim (offer-claims-registry is the sole writer of memory/claims/claims-ledger.md — unverified proof beats are marked [needs source] and submitted to memory/events/claims.ndjson via an authorized operation: propose request to registry-events.py); or compute the TALE profile result (only the narrative-quality-auditor gate scores TALE). It works one lever — the arc — and hands off.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
