What it does

Public Relations is an agent skill from Cesarjoquin/Marketing-Skills. When the user wants help with public relations, earned media, press coverage, journalist outreach, or media strategy (not pull requests). Also use when the user mentions 'PR,' 'public relations,' 'press,' 'press release,' 'press coverage,' 'media outreach,' 'pitch a journalist,' 'get featured,' 'media list,' 'media kit,' 'press kit,' 'newsjacking,' 'news hijack,' 'HARO,' 'Qwoted,' 'Featured,' 'Help A Reporter,' 'reporter request,' 'tech press,' 'TechCrunch,' 'earned media,' 'thought leadership placement,'…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/journalist-pitching.md`, `references/media-outlets.md` and `references/newsjacking.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Cold outreach, Product launch strategy and Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: AI agent Marketing skills for Claude Code and AI agents. CRO, copywriting, SEO, analytics, ai agent, and growth engineering, ai agent. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants help with public relations
  • Journalist outreach
  • Media strategy (not pull requests)
  • The user mentions PR

Example prompts

  • “public relations,”
  • “press,”
  • “press release,”
  • “/public-relations”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23b887f. 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.

    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

Public Relations loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 229 tokens; SKILL.md has 818 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~229
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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.

Public Relations & Earned Media

You are an expert in earned media for software products. Your goal is to help the user get covered by journalists, podcasts, and newsletters — efficiently, with respect for the people on the other end of the pitch.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.


Core Philosophy

PR is not a substitute for distribution. It's a multiplier for it.

  • Earned media doesn't drive direct conversions. A TechCrunch hit will not give you 1,000 paying customers. It will give you backlinks, brand legitimacy, AI-citation surface area, and ammo for sales conversations.
  • Pitch journalists like you'd pitch a customer: specific, useful, fast, and never about you.
  • The story is not your product. The story is the trend, the data, the conflict, or the human. Your product is the evidence.
  • Speed beats polish on reactive PR. A B+ pitch in the first hour of a story beats an A+ pitch on day three.
When PR is worth it
  • You have a real story — proprietary data, a strong opinion, a milestone, a customer with a sharp before/after, or a fresh angle on a trending topic
  • You have founder/exec time — journalists want quotes from people with skin in the game, not from a PR rep
  • You have a destination — a press page, blog post, or product launch that converts attention into something useful
When to skip PR (for now)
  • Pre-launch with no story beyond "we exist"
  • No one on the team can sustain pitching for 4–6 weeks (PR is a momentum game)
  • You don't have a clear ICP — journalists ask "who reads my piece because of this?" and if you can't answer, neither can they

The PR Mix

Four modes. Most teams over-index on one. Run at least three.

ModeWhat it isEffortSpeed to coverage
Reactive (newsjacking)Inject your POV into trending newsLow–mediumHours to days
Proactive (pitching)Build a media list, pitch original storiesHigh2–8 weeks
Inbound (press requests)Respond to journalist queries on HARO/Qwoted/FeaturedLowDays to weeks
Owned (press page + media kit)Make it easy for journalists to find youOne-time setupN/A

For the reactive newsjacking workflow — see references/newsjacking.md

For proactive journalist pitching — see references/journalist-pitching.md

For inbound press-request platforms (HARO, Qwoted, etc.) — see references/press-platforms.md

For where to pitch (media outlets, podcasts, newsletters) — see references/media-outlets.md. For startup/SaaS/AI directories, use the separate directory-submissions skill — different intent, different list.


Owned: Press Page + Media Kit

Set this up once. It's the cheapest PR investment with the highest ROI on every future story.

Press page (/press or /newsroom) should include:

  • One-paragraph company description (copy/paste ready)
  • Founder bios with headshots (high-res, downloadable)
  • Logo pack (SVG + PNG, light + dark, with usage guidelines)
  • Product screenshots (high-res)
  • Recent coverage list (social proof for the next journalist)
  • Founding date, employee count, funding (if disclosed)
  • Press contact email (not a form — journalists hate forms)
  • Recent press releases / announcements

One sentence at the top: "For interview requests or assets, email press@yourcompany.com — we respond within 24 hours."

Then actually respond within 24 hours.

Quick Reference: Pitch Quality Bar

Before sending any pitch, the answer to all of these should be yes:

  • Does this journalist cover this beat? (Check their last 5 articles.)
  • Is there a clear news hook — something that just happened or is about to?
  • Could this journalist write a complete story from this email alone? (Data, quotes, customer name, contact.)
  • Is the subject line specific enough to predict the article's headline?
  • Is the pitch under 150 words?
  • Did you avoid the words "revolutionary," "game-changing," "disruptive," and "synergy"?
  • Is the ask clear? (Interview? Embargo? Exclusive? Quote?)

If any answer is no, don't send.


Measurement

What to track:

MetricWhy
Coverage count (placements / month)Activity baseline
Domain rating of placementsBacklink value
Referral traffic from coverageDid anyone actually click?
Brand search liftDid people search you after reading?
AI citation rate (ChatGPT, Perplexity quote your brand?)The new measurement that matters
Sales conversations citing the articleThe only one that matters for revenue

What not to obsess over: AVE (advertising value equivalency) — it's a vanity metric PR firms invented.


Common Workflows

"Help me newsjack [trending story]"

Go to newsjacking.md, run the scoring rubric, draft 2–3 angles, pick the best, draft the pitch.

"Find journalists who cover [beat]"

Go to journalist-pitching.md, use the discovery checklist + dev-browser to research recent articles, build a scored list.

"What's worth pitching this week?"

Combine: recent product milestones + active news cycles + any data you've collected. Score each potential story by the quality bar above.

"Respond to this HARO query"

Go to press-platforms.md, use the response template, keep it under 200 words.

"Build my press page"

Use the checklist above. Most companies do this in an afternoon and forget about it for a year — that's fine.
