Search current news for a topic, company, competitor, or hook and return dated, attributed articles. Uses the newsjack CLI and Medialyst REST API when available, tries direct Medialyst MCP if the CLI is missing, and falls back to host web/browser search with explicit caveats only when neither cloud path is available.
Set up a newsjack monitoring profile for a company so newsjack-detector can run on a schedule. Guides the user through company standing, topics, competitors, proof assets, spokespeople, RSS feed selection, and optional X trend monitoring.
Monitor current news and reaction signals, then decide which are credible newsjacking opportunities for a client. Uses the local monitoring engine for evidence, but the skill owns PR judgment, brand safety, standing, decay, angle fit, and handoff.
Build, refine, dedupe, and enrich small fit-checked journalist lists for newsjack campaigns. Uses the newsjack CLI (preferred) or the medialyst MCP for news search and journalist enrichment, and falls back to a best-effort local mode with no verified contacts; the agent owns how returned data is organized.
Recover the first public timestamp and canonical major coverage for a newsjacking signal, then decide whether newer coverage is the same story, a different story, or a materially new development.
Turn the Medialyst PR calendar feed into a brand-specific, lead-time-aware plan. Pull source-backed upcoming moments, keep only the few a brand has real standing to own, schedule backward from the event date, screen out tone-deaf hooks, and hand selected moments to angle and journalist prep ahead of time. The planned twin of newsjack-detector's reactive monitoring.
Score whether a news event is worth newsjacking, or whether a user's pitch idea is actually newsworthy to journalists. Uses calibrated anchors, hard anti-inflation rules, standing checks, timing windows, and brand-safety kill switches.
Capture a user's real writing voice from 5-20 prior samples, store a local voice.yaml fingerprint, and enforce it on newsjack drafts so AI tells disappear. Measures voice with named stylometry lenses (Burrows's Delta function-word vector, MATTR lexical diversity, sentence-length burstiness, Biber Dimension-1 register, opener-POS profile, punctuation rates) and gates drafts against the fingerprint as bands, not vibes.
Consolidate freshness-gated newsjack signals and route them by client standing before angle generation. Collapses any remaining same-story duplicates, decides strong/partial/none standing with a journalist-shape sanity check, and sorts each story into pitch_ready, big_story (always-surfaced suggestion), or watch. Never writes angles or pitches, and never drops a fresh big story.
Generate headline candidates from a story's raw facts: news-style headlines, press-release headlines, and pitch subject lines. A pure generation skill — it finds the charge in the facts, then runs ten proven moves (consequence, picture, number-as-hero, two-beat turn, naming, reader's-own-story, open question, voice, sound, sized claim), each calibrated by real, verified headlines that made history.
Cheap, high-recall first-pass filter that removes obvious junk from a detector candidate pool before expensive story-origin research and PR judgment. Decides keep, monitor_only, or reject — never ranks, writes angles, verifies dates, or decides whether to pitch.
Turn a company update into 3-7 structurally distinct, journalist-shaped story angles. Runs the fact through proven newsroom lenses (perspective, abstraction, news values, data, contrarian, news peg) and refuses rephrasings, invented facts, named-journalist guesses, and AI-marketing slop.
