What This Skill Does

The Press skill is a sophisticated intelligence system designed to bridge the gap between organizational objectives and journalistic requirements. Most public relations efforts fail because they treat media outlets as marketing platforms. This skill reorients that approach by focusing on journalistic value, narrative construction, and strategic communication. It guides the user through identifying genuine newsworthiness, selecting the appropriate PR strategy, and executing professional-grade outputs such as press releases, media pitches, crisis statements, and thought leadership articles. By automating the tactical aspects of PR—such as media list building, drafting pitches, and preparing holding statements—it allows teams to focus on the core substance of their story while ensuring their communications meet the high standards required by editors and journalists.

Example Prompts

1. "We are launching our AI-driven analytics platform next month. Can you help me develop a media pitch and a list of journalists who cover SaaS innovation?"
2. "A journalist just emailed asking for a comment on our latest server downtime. Help me write a professional holding statement that acknowledges the issue without compromising our security protocols."
3. "We need to get more coverage for our research into sustainable supply chains. What is the best angle to pitch this to industry trade publications?"

Tips & Limitations

To get the most out of the Press skill, always provide specific, truthful data points. Avoid 'fluff' and marketing jargon; the system is calibrated to favor objective, newsworthy narratives over promotional rhetoric. Note that while this skill is expert at drafting and strategy, it cannot guarantee placement, as final editorial decisions rest entirely with journalists and their respective publications. Always review all generated content for accuracy and tone before dissemination.
