name	new-media-kingmaker
description	Takes any founder, brand, or organization from invisible to narrative-dominant in 30 days by chaining six expert skill sets through the a16z kingmaker methodology — diagnose media posture (old vs. new media physics) → position for go-direct (Joe Rogan CEO test) → architect content city with oral/written culture awareness → arm with proof ladder across platforms → launch with platform-native campaigns → protect with OODA-speed narrative control. Compound skill orchestrating a16z new-media doctrine, Grace Andrews content cities, Luke Iha proof, Nicolas Cole ghostwriting, Lara Acosta LinkedIn, and Cardinal Mason narrative. Use when launching a founder into the public eye, repositioning an established brand for AI-era media, recovering from a narrative crisis, or when the user mentions "media empire", "narrative dominance", "go-direct strategy", "kingmaker", "Joe Rogan-ready". Trigger proactively when a positioning conversation drifts toward "we need to be everywhere" — the kingmaker methodology beats fragmented per-channel tactics.

What This Skill Does

Takes any founder, brand, or organization from invisible to narrative-dominant in 30 days by chaining six expert skill sets through the a16z kingmaker methodology:

1. Diagnose the target's current media posture (old vs. new media physics)
2. Position the founder for go-direct communication (Joe Rogan CEO test)
3. Architect the content city with oral/written culture awareness
4. Arm every position with proof (proof ladder across platforms)
5. Launch with platform-native campaigns designed for viral impact
6. Protect with OODA-speed narrative control and crisis protocols

Workflows

#	Workflow	What It Produces
01	Kingmaker Sprint	30-day end-to-end plan from invisible → dominant
02	Narrative Warfare	OODA-powered competitive narrative dominance
03	Platform-Native Launch	Launch-as-a-service campaign with cross-expert content

When to Deploy

• Any founder positioning project — this IS the playbook
• Product/company launches — platform-native launch with proof stacking
• Competitive narrative battles — OODA speed + volume + proof
• "Our social media isn't working" clients — diagnose → rebuild → dominate
• Premium ghostwriting engagements — position + write + launch (pairs with new-media-ghostwriting skill)

Loading Protocol

Tier	What to Load	When
0	This SKILL.md only	Routing decisions
1	SKILL.md + specific workflow	Single execution (e.g., just the sprint or just the launch)
2	SKILL.md + source skill genius.md files as needed per workflow step	Full multi-expert execution

Anti-Patterns

• ❌ Cross-posting: Same content reformatted for different platforms
• ❌ Safety-first: Optimizing for zero controversy instead of maximum interestingness
• ❌ PR-managed founders: Letting intermediaries speak instead of going direct
• ❌ Generic hooks: Hooks that aren't proof-loaded or culturally native
• ❌ Slow loops: Decision-to-publish cycles measured in days instead of hours
