What it does

Media Database is an agent skill from gtmagents/gtm-agents. Use when researching, segmenting, and maintaining journalist/analyst contact lists.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Production-ready collection of GTM agents and specialized skills for claude code. Covers sales, marketing, customer success, and revenue operations workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Maintaining journalist/analyst contact lists

Example prompts

  • “/media-database”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Research – pull inputs from tools (MuckRack, Propel, manual research) covering recent articles, beats, social handles.
  2. Segmentation – categorize by beat, outlet tier, region, relationship status, preferred format.
  3. Compliance – store consent notes, GDPR considerations, embargo agreements, NDAs.
  4. Maintenance – monthly hygiene (bounces, role changes, new publications).
  5. Insights – log interactions to inform future pitches and avoid over-contacting.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78e0419. 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

Media Database loads about 304 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~304

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.
