What it does

This skill gives the agent a short set of writing rules for explaining a news event. Once installed, the agent picks a clearly confirmed event, names who is affected and the key question worth explaining, and structures the piece as a fact summary, background, impact analysis, and signals to watch. It also labels which statements are sourced facts and which are the author's judgment, avoids clickbait and unsupported numbers, and keeps uncertainty visible at the end.

Great for

  • Writers or bloggers who want clear, balanced news explainers
  • Students practicing current-affairs analysis with a consistent structure
  • Content teams who need a repeatable outline for event commentary

Skip it if

  • Breaking news reporting that needs live verification, since the skill only shapes writing and does not check sources (the agent may still need outside research)
  • Anyone expecting the skill to fact-check claims or supply citations on its own

Try asking

  • “Write a news analysis of this week's central bank rate decision, separating facts from my opinion”
  • “Draft a explainer on the new data privacy rule and who it affects”
  • “Turn these three articles about the chip export controls into a structured analysis piece”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Paste the source articles or facts you have confirmed, so the agent can label them as sourced rather than guessing.
  • Ask the agent to list which claims still need verification before you publish.
  • Specify your target length and audience so the outline and tone fit the piece.
