What it does
The Journalist Call is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Simulate a hostile-but-fair journalist interview about your company or announcement — the questions you fear, live follow-ups on every dodge, then the story they'd file. Use when asked to media-train me, simulate a press interview, prep me for a journalist call, or how will this announcement be covered. Produces the interview transcript with your likely stumbles, the article they would write from it, and a debrief with bridge lines and the quotes to prepare.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Interview preparation. 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 media-train me
- Simulate a press interview
- Prep me for a journalist call
- How will this announcement be covered
Example prompts

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
The Journalist Call loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 561 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 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.

- Simulate a hostile-but-fair journalist interview about your company or announcement — the questions you fear, live follow-ups on every dodge, then the story they'd file.

The Journalist Call Skill
A good journalist isn't hostile — they're prepared, and they follow up. Most spokespeople lose interviews not to gotchas but to their own third sentence. This skill runs the call: fair, sharp questions about your actual situation, follow-ups that punish evasion, then the article that call would produce — because seeing your "no comment" in print is the fastest media training there is.
What This Skill Produces
- The transcript — a realistic 10–15 question interview with follow-ups on every dodge
- The article — the piece a fair reporter files from that transcript, headline included
- The debrief — where quotes were given away, bridge lines for the hard questions, and the three quotes to have ready
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The subject — the announcement, incident, or company situation being covered
- The uncomfortable truths — what's true that you'd rather not discuss (the simulation is only as useful as this honesty)
- The outlet type — trade press, business daily, or investigative changes the register
- Prior coverage or public record — journalists read; the simulation should know what they know
Framework
- Prepared, not hostile: questions come from the public record + the announcement's own claims + the obvious follow-ups. No invented scandals — the fair-but-sharp standard.
- The follow-up discipline: every evasive answer gets the natural follow-up ("that's not quite what I asked"). Dodges compound: the transcript shows how the third dodge becomes the story.
- Quote mechanics: the simulated interviewee answers as the user likely would (from their materials' tone) — including the over-explanations and the accidental candor after the pause. Those become the article's pull-quotes, which is the lesson.
- The article is the mirror: written fair — accurate quotes, both-sides structure — and still stinging wherever the answers were weak. The headline comes from the worst answer, as it does in life.
- Debrief tools: bridge lines that acknowledge-then-redirect without sounding like training ("What I can tell you is—" is a tell; better bridges provided), the difference between off-the-record/background/on-record with the rule assume everything is on, and the three prepared quotes that would have changed the article.

Output Format
The Call: [outlet type] re: [subject]
Simulation — a plausible interview, not a prediction; no real journalist was harmed.
Transcript
[Q, A-as-you'd-likely-answer, follow-ups on the dodges — 10–15 rounds]
The Article They File
[Headline drawn from your weakest moment] [500 words, fair and accurate, pull-quotes from the transcript]
Debrief — out of character
| Moment | What happened | The better line |
|---|---|---|
| Your three prepared quotes: [the ones to have ready next time] | ||
| Bridge kit: [3–4 redirects that survive contact with a follow-up] |
Quality Checks
- Questions derive from the supplied record and claims — no invented scandal
- Every dodge in the transcript received its follow-up
- The article quotes the transcript accurately — the sting comes from the answers, not the writing
- The headline traces to a specific weak answer
- The debrief provides usable lines, not "be more confident"
Anti-Patterns
- Do not simulate a hit job — unfair simulations teach persecution, not preparation
- Do not let the interviewee answer better than their materials suggest they would — the stumbles are the training
- Do not write the article kind — write it fair; fair is what stings usefully
- Do not teach message-track robotics — bridges that sound trained become the story too
- Do not stay in character in the debrief
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Media-train me."
- "Simulate a press interview."
- "Prep me for a journalist call."
- "How will this announcement be covered?"
