The skill itself
SKILL.md
Channels: Public Relations
Guides PR and press release strategy. Journalists use ~3% of releases they receive; proper structure is critical. Use this skill when writing press releases, planning product announcements, or building media relations.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Initial Assessment

Identify:
- News angle: Product launch, funding, partnership, milestone
- Audience: Trade press, mainstream, bloggers
- Timing: Embargo or immediate
