What this skill does
Purpose Create a 6-frame visual narrative that tells the story of a user's journey from problem to solution, using the classic storytelling arc to build empathy, illustrate value, and make abstract product concepts concrete. Use this to align stakeholders, pitch features, communicate vision, or test if your solution resonates emotionally before building it.

Frame 4: The Solution Appears — Introduce your product/feature 5. Frame 5: The "Aha" Moment — Show the user experiencing the breakthrough 6. …
