SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Drafting a press release that meets journalistic standards requires juggling structure, word counts, quote placement, boilerplate accuracy, and style rules, and small errors like a mismatched embargo date or a retyped boilerplate can undermine credibility with media outlets. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Release Format: Generates three headline and subhead options, a 5Ws lede, inverted-pyramid body paragraphs, quotes, an optional bulleted list, CTA, boilerplate, and media contact. - Enforced Editorial Standards: Applies strict length limits (400-550 word body, 100-character headlines), bans em dashes and clichéd terms, and runs a linter from the personal-writing-style skill when available. - Verification and QA: Produces Editor's Notes mapping every statistic to its primary source, plus a pre-delivery checklist covering embargo alignment, partner naming rules, and boilerplate fidelity. - Use Case: A communications lead needs to announce a new research report with a partner organization; the skill drafts a wire-ready release with placeholder-marked quotes, verified stats, and the canonical boilerplate pulled from the brand-voice skill. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write a press release announcing your latest report or partnership, providing the title, key stats, quotes, and target URL.

Frequently Asked Questions about press-release

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a press release for a research report announcement?▼

Provide the report title, key statistics with methodology details, quotes or named spokespeople, and a URL. The skill produces three headline options, a 45-word lede answering the 5Ws, body paragraphs in inverted-pyramid order, and a CTA with your exact link.

What structure should a professional press release follow?▼

A standard release includes a headline under 100 characters, a subhead, a bolded dateline, a lede answering who/what/when/where/why, short body paragraphs, one or two quotes, an optional bulleted list, a call to action, boilerplate, and media contact details.

Can the press release include partner organization names in the headline?▼

Partner names appear in headlines only for true co-announcements such as a formal partnership or new board member. For co-authored reports, the partner is credited in body text only, never in the headline or subhead.

How are statistics and factual claims verified in the draft?▼

Every statistic in the body must map to a bullet in the Sources for Verification section, citing the report page, exhibit, or external URL with a short quoted claim. The skill never fabricates data and flags missing inputs in Editor's Notes.

What happens if the brand-voice boilerplate is not available?▼

The skill stops and asks for the boilerplate rather than approximating it. Boilerplate must be copied verbatim from the brand-voice skill's Standard Boilerplate section, since retyped versions drift from the canonical text over time.
