Write press releases for product launches, funding announcements, partnerships, executive hires, and milestones using the Inverted Pyramid (AP journalism) and Ogilvy on Headlines (David Ogilvy, Ogilvy on Advertising). The lede answers Who/What/When/Where/Why in 40 words or fewer. The headline selects the right audience and promises a specific benefit. Use when the user asks for a press release, media release, news announcement, PR for X, launch announcement, funding announcement, or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# press-release-writer Writes press releases in AP style using the Inverted Pyramid structure and Ogilvy's headline principles. Optimized for journalists who scan, not read. The most important information is always first. The headline selects the right audience and promises a concrete benefit - not a label. ## Framework: Inverted Pyramid + Ogilvy on Headlines ### Inverted Pyramid (AP journalism) Put the most important information first, then supporting details, then background. The structure exists because of how newsrooms work: journalists scan, and editors cut from the bottom to fit space. If the news is in paragraph 4, it does not survive the cut. | Level | Paragraphs | Contains | Word budget | Survives an editor's cut? | |---|---|---|---|---| | **Lede** | 1 | Who, what, when, where, why - the whole story | 40 or fewer | Never cut | | **Supporting detail** | 2 to 3 | Why now, the problem solved, first quote | 50 to 80 each | Usually kept | | **Background** | 4 to 6 | Specifics, deal terms, second quote, what is next | 30 to 80 each | Cut when space is tight | | **Boilerplate** | last | About the company | 50 to 80 | Cut first, every time | …

How to install
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/press-release-writer@sha256:8a8cdc77c65e90c3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.7dfb5c7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
