Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00304 | $0.02783 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00152 | $0.01392 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00061 | $0.00557 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00278 |
Grade A, and why
strategic-narrative 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Strategic Narrative
Andy Raskin's 5-part company story — a strategic narrative that is the company strategy externalized. Extracted from Zuora's 2015 sales deck in the 2016 essay The Greatest Sales Deck I've Ever Seen (2M+ views), refined across ~15 canonical Medium essays, dozens of LinkedIn micro-essays, Raskin's own podcast, and appearances on Lenny Rachitsky (2023) and others.
This skill helps you think in Raskin's method, not just recite it. It is opinionated because Raskin is opinionated: strategic narrative is not storytelling-as-decoration, not positioning, not messaging. It's a single top-level story that reveals whether strategy exists — the CEO-owned spine that shows up in the sales deck, the website, the all-hands, the investor pitch, and every hire's first day. Ben Horowitz's line — "the company story is the company strategy" — is on Raskin's homepage; his whole practice operationalizes it.
When this skill activates
Use this skill when the user is:
- Building or critiquing a sales deck (Raskin's "true north" artifact).
- Refreshing a CEO all-hands or investor narrative.
- Designing a category-creation or movement narrative.
- Diagnosing why sales, marketing, and product describe the company differently.
- Trying to explain why prospects respond "cool tool" instead of "how quickly can we get started?" (the pattern-response Raskin tests for).
- Rewriting a website, launch narrative, or recruiting story to feel like the same story as the deck.
- Bolting story onto an existing features-first pitch and getting weak reactions.
- Working through a market shift and asking whether their narrative still holds.
- Confused about the difference between strategic narrative, positioning, and messaging.
Do NOT use this skill when:
- The user wants a consumer-product ad or tactical copy — reach for StoryBrand or copy craft.
- The user has a commodity offering competing on price — narrative won't rescue undifferentiation. (Raskin's method presupposes something worth making a movement out of.)
- The user wants a positioning framework (which market, competitive alternatives, unique attributes) — reach for April Dunford's Obviously Awesome. Positioning is upstream and invisible; narrative is the external face.
- The user wants an internal strategic-choice cascade — reach for Roger Martin's Playing to Win. Martin is internal; Raskin is external. They stack: Martin's cascade produces the choices, Raskin's narrative broadcasts them. Do not do PtW at a user who came for narrative help.
- The user just wants a summary of the Greatest Sales Deck essay. Send them the link and stop.

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.

strategic-narrative is a skill published in the GitHub repository marcos-sponton/frameworks-as-skills (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 304 tokens to every session and 2,783 once invoked, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
