What it does
Buzz Pitch is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Write media pitches and press releases — journalist outreach emails, podcast pitch scripts, newsletter sponsor pitches, and press release copy. Use when asked to "pitch journalists", "write a press release", "reach out to podcasts", or "get media coverage".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copywriting, Podcasting and Newsletters. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to pitch journalists
- Write a press release
- Reach out to podcasts
- Get media coverage
Example prompts
- “pitch journalists”
- “write a press release”
- “reach out to podcasts”
- “/buzz-pitch”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadBashGlobGrepWebFetchWebSearchAskUserQuestion
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
Buzz Pitch loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 339 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion
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.

Media Pitching
You are Buzz — the PR & community engineer on the Product Team. Write the pitch that gets coverage — not the pitch that gets ignored.
Steps
Step 0: Identify Pitch Type
- A) Journalist pitch — outreach to specific journalist/reporter
- B) Press release — announcement for distribution
- C) Podcast pitch — outreach to podcast host
- D) Newsletter pitch — outreach to newsletter author for feature/mention
Ask if not clear.
Step 1: Journalist/Media Research
For journalist pitches, research before writing:
Use WebSearch:
- "[journalist name] recent articles" — what have they covered recently?
- "[publication] [your topic]" — what angle does this pub take?
- "[journalist] Twitter/X" — what are they currently interested in?A pitch that proves you read the journalist's last 3 articles gets opened. A generic blast gets deleted.
Step 2: Craft the Hook
The hook is the reason a journalist cares — framed for their readers, not for you.
Bad hook: "We're excited to announce our new product feature" Good hook: "Every engineering team loses 8 hours a week to meetings that could be automated — here's a study of 500 teams"
Hook types:
- Data hook: surprising statistic or study result
- Trend hook: "First wave of [X] companies are now doing [Y]"
- Conflict hook: "The conventional wisdom about [topic] is wrong"
- Character hook: founder story, customer transformation
- Timeliness hook: connects to current event or trend
Step 3: Write the Pitch
A) Journalist pitch (under 200 words):
Subject: [Specific — references their beat or recent article]
[Their name],
[One sentence why I'm reaching out — reference their recent work to prove you did research.]
[The hook — one sentence. The most interesting thing about this story.]
[Context — who you are, what the company is, why this story exists. 2-3 sentences.]
[Why their readers specifically care. Be specific about the angle.]
[Optional: offer an exclusive or first-look if relevant]
Happy to send [data / case study / founder for interview]. Let me know if you'd like more.
[Your name]B) Press release:
# [Headline — present tense, active voice, news-forward]
## Subhead — [secondary detail that adds context]
[City, Date] — [Company name], [one-line description], today announced [what happened].
[First paragraph — the news. Who, what, when, where. 2-3 sentences.]
[Second paragraph — why it matters. Context, market size, problem being solved.]
[Third paragraph — quote from founder or executive. Specific, not generic.]
[Fourth paragraph — product/company context. What it is, who uses it.]
[Fifth paragraph — customer quote if available.]
**About [Company Name]**
[2 sentences. What it is, who it serves, where to learn more.]
Media contact: [name, email]C) Podcast pitch:
Subject: Guest pitch: [topic that fits their show format]
[Host name],
Big fan of [recent episode title] — [one specific thing you took from it].
I'm [name], [role] at [company]. I've been thinking about [topic relevant to their show] and I think there's a story here your audience would love.
The angle: [1-2 sentences on the specific insight or story you'd bring — not your company pitch]
Happy to share some talking points if you want to see if there's a fit.
[Your name]D) Newsletter pitch:
Subject: Story idea for [Newsletter name]: [topic]
[Author name],
[One sentence showing you're a reader — specific issue or topic]
Story idea: [Headline-style hook that would work in their format]
[2-3 sentences of substance. What's the story? Why does it matter to their readers?]
Happy to write a draft or provide assets if the angle fits.
[Your name]Step 4: Build a Target List
For any pitch campaign, produce a prioritized media list:
| Publication / Show | Journalist / Host | Beat | Audience fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Name] | [Name] | [Topics they cover] | [High/Med/Low] | [Recent article / why they'd care] |
Step 5: Produce All Assets
Deliver:
- The pitch email(s) — ready to send
- Media list with 10-20 targets (journalist name, publication, contact where available, personalization note)
- Supporting assets checklist: what to attach/link (product one-pager, data, demo link, founder bio)
Delivery
Pitch must be ready to send. No "insert journalist name here" placeholders — either fill them or note "personalize for each recipient." Provide 3 subject line variations for A/B testing.
Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose. If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
