# Storytelling Synthesizer Skill

## Purpose

Transform technical work (pull requests, commit histories, feature implementations) into compelling narratives that resonate with different audiences—whether preparing hackathon demos, writing technical blog posts, or creating marketing content.

## When to Use This Skill

- **Hackathon Demos**: Convert technical achievements into engaging 5-10 minute presentations
- **Technical Blog Posts**: Transform PR descriptions into detailed, narrative-driven articles
- **Marketing Content**: Distill complex features into customer-focused value propositions
- **Presentation Outlines**: Create structured narratives for conference talks or internal presentations
- **Release Notes**: Convert commit histories into user-friendly announcements
- **Investor Pitches**: Frame technical work as business value and impact
- **Team Communications**: Share accomplishments in compelling, non-technical ways

## Core Philosophy: Story Structure

Every technical work has a narrative hidden within it. The synthesizer extracts and amplifies it:

**Problem → Solution → Impact → Hook**

This mirrors the **Hero's Journey** pattern adapted for technical work:

- **Problem**: The challenge that motivated the work (conflict)
- **Solution**: How the technical work addresses it (resolution)
- **Impact**: What changes because of this work (outcome)
- **Hook**: The compelling angle that captures attention (why it matters)

## Narrative Templates

Every technical narrative follows one of these proven story structures:

**Purpose**: 5-10 minute engaging presentation for live audience

**Structure**:

```
Opening Hook (30 seconds)
├─ Grab attention with surprising stat or problem statement
├─ One-sentence problem definition
└─ Show what's broken/slow/frustrating

Context & Problem (1-2 minutes)
├─ Why this problem matters
├─ Who experiences the pain
├─ Cost of the problem (time, money, frustration)
└─ Previous attempts or workarounds
