What it does

PR Press Release is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Write effective press releases using inverted pyramid structure, headline best practices, and media distribution strategy. Use this skill when the user needs to announce news, write a press release, pitch to media, or craft a newsworthy story — even if they say 'announce our product launch', 'write a press release', 'get media coverage', or 'how do we pitch this to reporters'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md` and `references/media-database.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copywriting. 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 needs to announce news
  • Write a press release
  • Craft a newsworthy story — even if they say announce our product launch
  • Get media coverage

Example prompts

  • “announce our product launch”
  • “write a press release”
  • “get media coverage”
  • “/pr-press-release”

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 Press Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.3k

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.

Press Release Writing

Framework

IRON LAW: Inverted Pyramid — Most Important First

Journalists scan, not read. The headline + first paragraph must contain
the COMPLETE story (who, what, when, where, why). Every subsequent
paragraph adds LESS important detail. If an editor cuts from the bottom,
the core message survives.
Press Release Structure

1. Headline (< 10 words)

  • Verb + Number + Value: "CloudPOS Raises NT$100M to Expand Across Southeast Asia"
  • No jargon, no self-congratulation ("We're excited to announce...")

2. Sub-headline (optional, 1 sentence)

  • Adds context the headline couldn't fit

3. Dateline

  • City, Date — "TAIPEI, April 6, 2026 —"

4. Lead Paragraph (5W1H in 2-3 sentences)

  • WHO did WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW
  • This paragraph must stand alone as the entire story

5. Quote (1-2 quotes)

  • From CEO or relevant executive
  • Must add insight, not restate the lead: "This expansion reflects our belief that..." not "We are excited to announce..."

6. Supporting Details (2-3 paragraphs)

  • Data, context, background, market information
  • Ordered by decreasing importance

7. Boilerplate (company description, ~50 words)

  • Standard "About [Company]" paragraph used across all releases

8. Contact Information

  • PR contact name, email, phone
Headline Writing Rules

Gotchas

  • Journalists ignore 90%+ of press releases: Make yours survive the 3-second scan test — headline + first paragraph must be compelling and newsworthy.
  • "We're excited" is not news: Nobody cares that you're excited. What's the impact? What's the number? What's different?
  • Timing matters: Tuesday-Thursday, 9-11 AM local time gets best pickup. Avoid Friday afternoons, holidays, and days with major competing news.
  • Exclusive vs wide distribution: Offering an exclusive to one key journalist can get better coverage than blasting to 500. Use for major announcements.
  • Taiwan media specifics: Taiwan journalists respond well to LINE messages (not just email), appreciate Chinese-language releases (don't just translate from English), and value data/infographics that can be directly used in articles.
