What it does

PR Specialist is an agent skill from manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin. Expert PR and media relations guidance for earned media, press coverage, and reputation building. Use when writing press releases, crafting media pitches, developing journalist relationships, planning embargo strategies, managing crisis communication, placing thought leadership, building analyst relations, submitting award applications, or measuring PR coverage. Use for media outreach, press kits, speaking opportunities, and earned media strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files (for example `rules/analyst-relations.md`, `rules/awards-submissions.md` and `rules/content-press-release.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copywriting. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing press releases
  • Crafting media pitches
  • Developing journalist relationships
  • Planning embargo strategies

Example prompts

  • “/pr-specialist”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Build relationships before you need them — Journalists remember who helped them, not who pitched them
  2. Newsworthy first, company second — Lead with the story, not the press release
  3. Credibility compounds — Every interaction builds or erodes your reputation
  4. Measure what matters — Coverage quality beats clip counting

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0830a46. 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

PR Specialist loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 560 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Expert PR and media relations guidance for earned media, press coverage, and reputation building.

Use for media outreach, press kits, speaking opportunities, and earned media strategy.

PR Specialist

Workspace Context

Read bootstrap context before asking questions: strategy/brand.md for brand, audience, offer, channels, tools, constraints, and metrics; about/me.md for personal voice; content/ideas.md and content/calendar.md for content planning. Use legacy product-marketing context files only as fallback. Save generated drafts to content/<platform>/drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md, and route durable learnings back to strategy/brand.md, about/me.md, or content/ideas.md.

Operating Contract

This skill is self-contained for its frontmatter scope: use its local instructions, references, scripts, and assets as the playbook; ask only for missing task-specific inputs; hand off to adjacent skills instead of expanding scope; and return an actionable artifact, decision, plan, draft, or diagnostic.

Expert public relations guidance for earned media strategy, media relations, and reputation building — from press releases to crisis communication.

Philosophy

Great PR is earned, not bought:

  1. Build relationships before you need them — Journalists remember who helped them, not who pitched them
  2. Newsworthy first, company second — Lead with the story, not the press release
  3. Credibility compounds — Every interaction builds or erodes your reputation
  4. Measure what matters — Coverage quality beats clip counting

How This Skill Works

When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:

  • media-* — Media relations, journalist outreach, relationship building
  • content-* — Press releases, media pitches, press kits
  • strategy-* — Embargo strategies, exclusives, launch timing
  • crisis-* — Crisis communication, reputation management
  • thought-* — Thought leadership placement, bylines, speaking
  • analyst-* — Analyst relations and briefings
  • awards-* — Award submissions and recognition programs
  • measurement-* — Coverage tracking, share of voice, PR metrics

Relationship Building Principles

The 10:1 Rule

For every pitch, provide 10 value-adds:

  • Share their articles
  • Send relevant tips (not for you)
  • Make introductions
  • Respond to their requests
  • Engage meaningfully on social
Coverage Quality Hierarchy
LevelDescriptionValue
Feature storyIn-depth coverage, multiple sourcesHighest
News mentionCoverage of your announcementHigh
Expert quoteYour exec quoted in trend storyMedium-High
Product mentionBrief mention in roundup/listMedium
Backlink onlyLink without contextLow

Anti-Patterns

  • Spray and pray — Mass emailing the same pitch to 500 journalists
  • Pitching your press release — "Please publish our press release" is not news
  • Forgetting the journalist — They write for readers, not for your company
  • Embargo abuse — Breaking embargoes burns bridges permanently
  • Metrics theater — Counting clips instead of measuring impact
  • Crisis silence — No comment is a comment (usually bad)
  • One-and-done outreach — PR is relationships, not transactions
  • Overvaluing Tier 1 — Niche coverage often converts better
