What problem does it solve?
Setting up recurring newsjacking detection requires defining who the company is, what beats it covers, which competitors to watch, and where to pull news from. This Skill guides users through building that monitor profile once so the newsjack-detector can run automatically on a schedule without re-entering context every time.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided Profile Building: Collects company standing, 6-8 beat topics, competitors, search terms, proof assets, spokespeople, and RSS feeds into a structured profile.json.
- Scheduling and Testing: Saves the profile via the newsjack CLI, schedules runs (8am and 2pm, daily, or hourly), runs an offline mock test, and performs one real detection run.
- Client Brief Management: Creates and maintains a brief.md file capturing what the client will and won't pitch, updated from user feedback on each run.
- Use Case: A PR lead at a local SEO startup wants daily alerts on stories they can comment on. The Skill interviews them, builds the profile with relevant feeds and X trend settings, schedules twice-daily runs, and delivers a first run.md of pitch-ready stories.
Quick Start
Ask your agent to set up a newsjack monitoring profile for your company and schedule it to run every morning.
