Core Philosophy

核心理念

A press release is a news document, not an advertisement. If there is no genuine news, no amount of craft will save the release. 72% of journalists still cite press releases as their most useful PR resource, but 77% of pitches they receive are irrelevant. Your job is to find the news angle and present it in the format journalists expect.
press release是一份新闻文件，而非广告。如果没有真正的新闻点，再精湛的技巧也无法挽救这份稿件。72%的记者仍将press release视为最有用的PR资源，但他们收到的稿件中有77%是无关的。你的工作是找到新闻角度，并以记者期望的格式呈现。

Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Gather Context

步骤1：收集背景信息

Before writing, collect the information below. Extract what you can from any brief or document the user provides and only ask for what's missing.
Required:
  1. The news — What happened? What changed? Why now?
  2. Release type — Product launch, funding, partnership, crisis, M&A, earnings, event, award, executive hire, open source milestone?
  3. Target audience — Which journalists/outlets? Trade press or general?
  4. Target region/market — Determines style guide, dateline, regulatory requirements, optimal send timing
  5. Target media format — Print, digital/wire, broadcast, social, or all?
  6. Company info — Name, what it does, HQ, key figures
  7. Spokesperson(s) — Name, title, quote message
  8. Supporting data — Numbers, statistics, proof points
  9. Embargo — Date, time, timezone if applicable
  10. Language — French, English, other?
Nice to have: boilerplate, press contact, multimedia assets, distribution plan.
撰写前，收集以下信息。从用户提供的任何简报或文档中提取已有信息，仅询问缺失的内容。
必填项：
  1. 新闻内容——发生了什么？有什么变化？为什么是现在？
  2. 发布类型——产品发布、融资、合作伙伴关系、危机处理、并购、收益报告、活动、奖项、高管招聘、开源里程碑？
  3. 目标受众——面向哪些记者/媒体？行业媒体还是大众媒体？
  4. 目标地区/市场——决定风格指南、发稿地点、监管要求、最佳发送时间
  5. 目标媒体格式——印刷、数字/专线、广播、社交，还是全部？
  6. 公司信息——名称、业务范围、总部、关键人物
  7. 发言人——姓名、职位、发言要点
  8. 支持数据——数字、统计数据、佐证点
  9. Embargo——适用的话，需提供日期、时间、时区
  10. 语言——法语、英语，还是其他语言？
可选项： boilerplate、媒体联系人、多媒体素材、分发计划。

Step 2: Identify the News Angle

步骤2：确定新闻角度

Articulate the angle in one sentence. Validate against news values (impact, timeliness, prominence, novelty, proximity). If the angle is weak, tell the user and suggest how to strengthen it.
用一句话阐述新闻角度。对照新闻价值（影响力、时效性、显著性、新颖性、贴近性）进行验证。如果角度薄弱，告知用户并建议如何强化。

Step 3: Read the Relevant References

步骤3：阅读相关参考资料

Based on context gathered, read the appropriate reference files:
  • Always read: Press release types for the template matching the release type
  • If targeting a specific region: Regional conventions for style guide, dateline, regulations, optimal send times, and cultural expectations
  • If adapting for a specific media format: Media formats for format-specific adaptations
  • If preparing a journalist email pitch: Journalist email pitch for subject lines, hook types, email structure, and follow-up cadence
  • For writing style guidance: Writing principles for detailed rules on tone, language, and quotes
  • For delivery format options: Output options for markdown, Word, email-ready, bilingual, press kit formats
根据收集到的背景信息，阅读相应的参考文件：
  • 必看：Press release类型，获取匹配发布类型的模板
  • 若针对特定地区：区域惯例，了解风格指南、发稿地点、法规、最佳发送时间及文化预期
  • 若适配特定媒体格式：媒体格式，获取格式特定的调整方案
  • 若准备记者邮件推介：记者邮件推介，了解主题行、钩子类型、邮件结构及跟进节奏
  • 若需要写作风格指导：写作原则，获取关于语气、语言和引述的详细规则
  • 若需要交付格式选项：输出选项，了解markdown、Word、邮件就绪版、双语版、新闻资料包等格式

Step 4: Propose Headline Variants

步骤4：提出标题变体

Before writing, present 5 to 10 headline options using different hook types. Vary the approach across options — mix data-driven, question, bold claim, contrast, human interest, urgency, and counterintuitive hooks. For each variant, label the hook type used.
Ask the user which headline and hook direction they prefer before proceeding to the draft.
撰写前，提供5至10个标题选项，使用不同的钩子类型。选项采用不同的思路——混合数据驱动型、疑问型、大胆声明型、对比型、人文关怀型、紧迫感型和反直觉型钩子。每个变体需标注所使用的钩子类型。
在开始撰写草稿前，询问用户偏好哪个标题和钩子方向。

Step 5: Write the Press Release

步骤5：撰写Press Release

Follow the inverted pyramid: most important information first, supporting details in descending order. Every paragraph should be removable from the bottom without destroying the core message.
Universal structure:
[RELEASE DESIGNATION] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / EMBARGO
[HEADLINE] Sentence case. Core news.
[SUBHEADLINE] (optional) ~20 words. Secondary angle.
[DATELINE] -- [LEAD] Answer 5W1H in exactly 25-35 words. Count them.
[BODY 1] Expand on lead. Primary data point.
[QUOTE 1] Senior executive. Insight, not "We're thrilled."
[BODY 2] Additional context, market data.
[QUOTE 2] (optional) Third party -- customer, partner, investor.
[BODY 3] (if needed) Future plans, availability, CTA.
[BOILERPLATE] About [Company]. ~100 words. Factual. No superlatives.
[MEDIA CONTACT] Name, title, email, phone.
###
遵循倒金字塔结构：最重要的信息放在最前面，支撑细节按重要性递减排列。从底部移除任何段落都不应破坏核心信息。
通用结构：
[发布标识] 立即发布 / EMBARGO
[标题] 句首大写。核心新闻内容。
[副标题]（可选）约20词。次要角度。
[发稿地点] -- [导语] 用25-35个词准确回答5W1H。数清楚字数。
[正文1] 展开导语内容。主要数据点。
[引述1] 高管发言。要有洞察力，而非“我们非常激动”。
[正文2] 补充背景信息、市场数据。
[引述2]（可选）第三方——客户、合作伙伴、投资者。
[正文3]（如有需要）未来计划、可用性、行动号召。
[BOILERPLATE] 关于[公司]。约100词。内容真实。无最高级表述。
[媒体联系人] 姓名、职位、邮箱、电话。
###

Step 6: Apply Quality Checks

步骤6：质量检查

  • Lead answers 5W1H in 25-35 words (count them — under 25 is too thin, over 35 buries the news)
  • Total length 300-500 words
  • Inverted pyramid respected
  • Third person throughout (no "we"/"our" outside quotes)
  • Active voice dominant
  • No unsupported superlatives
  • No banned phrases: "thrilled," "excited to announce," "proud to," "innovative," "cutting-edge," "world-class," "synergy"
  • Attribution verb is "said"
  • At least one concrete number or data point
  • Quotes add insight, not empty enthusiasm
  • Correct dateline and style guide for target region
  • Boilerplate present, under 100 words
  • End mark (### or -30-)
  • 导语用25-35个词回答5W1H（数清楚字数——少于25词过于单薄，超过35词会掩盖新闻核心）
  • 总字数300-500词
  • 遵循倒金字塔结构
  • 全程使用第三人称（引述外不使用“我们”/“我们的”）
  • 以主动语态为主
  • 无无依据的最高级表述
  • 禁用短语：“thrilled”、“excited to announce”、“proud to”、“innovative”、“cutting-edge”、“world-class”、“synergy”
  • 引述动词使用“said”
  • 至少包含一个具体数字或数据点
  • 引述要有洞察力，而非空洞的热情
  • 符合目标地区的发稿地点和风格指南
  • 包含boilerplate，字数少于100词
  • 包含结束标记（### 或 -30-）

Step 6b: Humanize

步骤6b：人性化处理

Invoke a humanizer skill (e.g. "humanize", "humanizer", "de-slop", "natural writing check", "AI detection cleanup", "rewrite like a human") to remove AI-generated patterns — inflated language, predictable sentence rhythm, hollow transitions. Journalists spot AI copy immediately and discard it.
Preserve the headline and lead. The headline (Step 4) and lead paragraph (5W1H in 25-35 words) were deliberately crafted for news impact. Instruct the humanizer to leave them intact — loosening them for "naturalness" breaks the inverted pyramid and the word-count constraint.
调用人性化技能（例如“humanize”、“humanizer”、“de-slop”、“natural writing check”、“AI detection cleanup”、“rewrite like a human”）以去除AI生成的模式——夸张的语言、可预测的句子节奏、空洞的过渡。记者能立刻识别出AI生成的文案并丢弃。
保留标题和导语。 标题（步骤4）和导语段落（用25-35词回答5W1H）是为了新闻影响力特意打造的。指示人性化工具保留这些内容——为了“自然”而改动会破坏倒金字塔结构和字数限制。

Step 7: Deliver with Context

步骤7：附带背景信息交付

Present the press release with:
  1. The press release in the target language
  2. Angle note — why you chose this angle
交付press release时附带：
  1. 目标语言版本的press release
  2. 角度说明——选择该角度的原因

Step 8: Suggest Next Steps

步骤8：建议后续步骤

After delivering the press release, suggest actionable next steps:
  • Distribution recommendation — optimal send day/time for the target market (see regional conventions), channel mix, embargo considerations
  • Email pitch to journalists — offer to draft a pitch email with hook and subject line variants (see journalist email pitch)
  • Social media teaser — offer to draft social posts to amplify the announcement
  • Journalist shortlist criteria — suggest how to build a targeted journalist list for this release
交付press release后，提出可执行的后续步骤建议：
  • 分发建议——目标市场的最佳发送日期/时间（参见区域惯例）、渠道组合、embargo注意事项
  • 记者邮件推介——提供撰写带有钩子和主题行变体的推介邮件服务（参见记者邮件推介）
  • 社交媒体预告——提供撰写用于扩大宣传的社交帖子服务
  • 记者名单筛选标准——建议如何为本次发布构建针对性的记者名单
