What it does

PR Crisis Response is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Manage PR crises using classification, golden hour response, crisis statement templates (3C framework), and reputation recovery planning. Use this skill when the user faces negative media coverage, a viral complaint, product safety issues, executive misconduct, or any situation threatening brand reputation — even if they say 'we're getting destroyed on social media', 'draft a response to this article', 'how do we handle this PR disaster', or 'prepare for potential backlash'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md`, `references/reputation-recovery.md` and `references/social-crisis.md`).

The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user faces negative media coverage
  • A viral complaint
  • Product safety issues
  • Executive misconduct

Example prompts

  • “re getting destroyed on social media”
  • “draft a response to this article”
  • “how do we handle this PR disaster”
  • “/pr-crisis-response”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Activate crisis team (PR, Legal, CEO, relevant department head)
  2. Issue holding statement (acknowledge, don't speculate)
  3. Secure all internal communications (no unauthorized statements)
  4. Begin fact-gathering

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

PR Crisis Response loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

PR Crisis Management

Framework

IRON LAW: First Response Within 1 Hour

The first hour after a crisis becomes public is the "golden hour."
Silence in this window = others control the narrative. A holding
statement ("We are aware of [issue] and are investigating. We will
provide an update by [time].") is infinitely better than silence.
Crisis Classification
LevelDescriptionExamplesResponse
Level 1: NoiseMinor complaint, limited reachSingle negative review, individual social postMonitor, respond if needed
Level 2: IssueGrowing attention, media interest possibleMultiple complaints on same topic, minor influencer postProactive response, prepare statement
Level 3: CrisisWidespread media coverage, significant reputation damageProduct recall, data breach, viral scandal, executive misconductFull crisis protocol, C-suite involvement
Crisis Response Protocol

Hour 1: Contain

  1. Activate crisis team (PR, Legal, CEO, relevant department head)
  2. Issue holding statement (acknowledge, don't speculate)
  3. Secure all internal communications (no unauthorized statements)
  4. Begin fact-gathering

Hours 2-6: Respond

  1. Draft full statement using 3C framework
  2. Legal review (balance transparency with liability)
  3. Publish on owned channels first, then distribute to media
  4. Brief customer-facing teams (CS, sales) with talking points

Days 1-7: Manage

  1. Monitor media reaction to response
  2. Issue updates as new information emerges
  3. Respond to media inquiries consistently
  4. Address social media individually where appropriate

Weeks 2-4: Recover

  1. Implement corrective actions (not just promises)
  2. Communicate actions taken
  3. Re-engage positive narratives
  4. Post-mortem: what happened, why, how to prevent
3C Crisis Statement Framework

Gotchas

  • Speed vs accuracy trade-off: In hour 1, prioritize speed with a holding statement. In hours 2-6, prioritize accuracy with the full statement. Never sacrifice accuracy for speed in the full statement.
  • Social media crises escalate in minutes: A viral TikTok or PTT post can reach millions before your crisis team assembles. Pre-written holding statements for common scenarios save critical minutes.
  • Internal leaks are the second crisis: Employees sharing internal discussions on social media compounds the problem. Brief all staff: "All external communication goes through PR."
  • Taiwan media cycle: Taiwan's 24-hour news channels (TVBS, SET, CTV) and online outlets (ETtoday, UDN) amplify stories rapidly. The PTT → news outlet pipeline means a PTT hot post becomes TV news within hours.
  • Apology culture varies: In Taiwan/Japan, a sincere public apology (including bowing) is expected and effective. In the US, apologies are often viewed as liability admission. Calibrate to cultural context.
