What it does

Media Pitch is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a media pitch or press outreach email for any story or announcement. Use when asked to write a media pitch, journalist outreach email, press pitch, or story angle for PR. Produces a concise pitch with a compelling news angle, journalist-specific hook, and clear call to action.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write a media pitch
  • Journalist outreach email
  • Story angle for PR

Example prompts

  • “/media-pitch”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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 Pitch loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 667 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Write a media pitch or press outreach email for any story or announcement. Use when asked to write a media pitch, journalist outreach email, press pitch, or story angle for PR. Produces a concise pitch with a compelling news angle, journalist-specific hook, and clear call to action.

Media Pitch Skill

Writes media pitches that journalists actually respond to — built around the story angle, not the company's desire for coverage. Most pitches fail because they are press releases in an email. Good pitches are a human proposing a story to another human.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • The story (what is the actual news or interesting angle?)
  • Target publication or journalist (who are you pitching to and what do they cover?)
  • Company or organisation (who is behind this?)
  • Key proof point (data, customer story, or exclusive that makes this credible)
  • Why now (why is this timely?)
  • What you are offering (interview / exclusive data / embargoed information / spokespeople)

Output Structure


Pitch: [Target journalist / outlet]

Subject line: [Under 10 words. The story angle, not the company name. Specific, not "Exciting news from [Company]"]


Hi [First name],

[Opening sentence — one hook that makes them want to read the next line. Reference their recent work if genuinely relevant: "I read your piece on X last week, which is why I thought you'd be interested in this."]

[Paragraph 1 — The story in 2–3 sentences. Lead with why the reader of [publication] would care. Not what the company does. The news angle, with the most interesting fact first.]

[Paragraph 2 — Why this is a story now. One data point, trend, or timely hook. Be specific: "In the last 6 months, X has increased by Y, according to [source]." Generic claims about "growing trends" are ignored.]

[Paragraph 3 — What you are offering. Interview with [specific person + their relevant credential]. Exclusive data / first look. Access to [specific thing]. One clear offering.]

[Brief company context — 1 sentence maximum. Journalists don't need your history; they need to know you're credible.]

Happy to send more details, connect you with [spokesperson], or share [specific exclusive asset] under embargo.

[Name] [Title, Company] [Mobile — journalists work on deadline and text faster than email]


Pitch Rules

  • Subject line is the pitch — if it doesn't earn a click, nothing else matters
  • The story angle is not "Company launches product" — it is what that product reveals about the world
  • One pitch, one journalist — mass BCC pitches are recognisable and ignored
  • Follow up once, after 3–5 business days, with new information (not "just checking in")
  • If offering an exclusive, name it explicitly and set a response deadline
Show full SKILL.md (282 more words)Show less

Angle Development Framework

If the user doesn't have a strong angle, help them find one:

Angle typeExampleWorks for
Data reveal"Our research of 10,000 users shows X"Survey findings, product insights
Trend + proof"This is happening and here is evidence"Market trends, behaviour change
Contrarian"Everyone thinks X but actually Y"Counter-intuitive findings
Human story"This person's experience illustrates X"Customer stories, case studies
Milestone"First / fastest / largest in [category]"Launches, records

Quality Checks

  • Subject line is the story angle (under 10 words, no company name)
  • Opening doesn't start with "I'm reaching out" or "I hope this email finds you well"
  • The story angle is clear in the first two sentences
  • A specific exclusive or offer is named
  • Journalist's name is used (not "Hi there")
  • Mobile number included for deadline follow-up

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write a pitch that leads with the company's history or description — the story angle must come first, not who the company is
  • Do not use vague data points ("significant growth", "thousands of users") — every statistic must be specific and verifiable
  • Do not send the same pitch to multiple journalists in a BCC — pitches must be individually tailored to each journalist's beat and recent work
  • Do not offer an exclusive without setting a response deadline — an open-ended exclusive invitation is ignored or used to delay indefinitely
  • Do not follow up with "just checking in" — a follow-up must contain new information or a fresh angle, otherwise it is noise

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a media pitch for [story or announcement]"
  • "Draft a journalist outreach email for [topic]"
  • "Help me pitch [story] to [type of journalist or outlet]"
  • "What is a good angle for a media pitch about [topic]?"
