newsjack: Turn your AI agent into a PR skills toolkit

What it does

Newsjack is a set of plain-Markdown skills plus a small CLI. After install, a supported agent can run named skills for four lanes the source describes: Detect (find fresh stories you have standing to join, search coverage, triage), Act (angles, headlines, fact-check, journalist fit), Strategize (PR walkthrough, calendar, newsworthiness), and AI visibility (revise copy and design prompt panels so AI answers can reuse facts without inventing evidence). Most skills run wherever your agent runs; a few save monitoring state or drive a local browser and are marked local-only.

How to use it

Input: install Newsjack into your agent, then name a skill or describe the PR task. Action: on macOS or Linux the source shows `curl -fsSL newsjack.sh | bash` (review install.sh first), or add the elvisun/newsjack marketplace plugin in Claude.ai, or use the npm package so the `newsjack` command is on PATH. Output: skill-guided drafts, lists, or reports inside the agent session. For always-on monitoring, the source says use a local agent rather than a one-shot chat pass.

Common use cases

• Install Newsjack, then ask your agent to find a fresh newsjacking opportunity that matches your company's standing and beat topics.
• Draft headline options and a pitch from a story's raw facts, then run the fact-check skill before you send anything.
• Audit supplied copy with the AI-visibility writing skill so answers can reuse your facts without inventing evidence or promising rankings.
