Journalism Skills

A collection of 64 skills in several packages for journalists, researchers and communications staff. The journalism core covers source verification, fact-check workflows, public-records requests, data journalism, interview preparation and transcription, editorial workflow, newsroom style, story pitches, newsletters, crisis communications and photo metadata; other packages cover academic writing, legal routes to paywalled or geo-blocked material, web archiving and page monitoring, security checklists, video transcription and general development workflows. Aimed at newsrooms and researchers who want an agent to follow documented reporting procedures.

EDITORIAL GUIDE

Keep source verification separate from polished reporting

A journalism toolkit can organize evidence and drafts. It cannot turn an unconfirmed claim into a publishable fact or supply missing interview consent.

LuluSkill’s own reading of this project, not a summary of its README. About 3 minutes to read

This guide is LuluSkill’s own judgement about when this project fits, written from the pinned version named above. It is not the author’s documentation, not a security review and not a recommendation. LuluSkill did not install, run or test the project to write it, and the guide is shown only while this listing still points at the commit it was written against.

When this project fits

The collection is relevant when reporting involves source organization, verification and editorial workflow rather than just improving prose. Its README groups journalism skills with research tools and distinguishes shared skills from host-specific commands, agents and hooks.

When to choose something else

Do not treat a style-correct draft as verified reporting. A generated quotation, inferred identity or reconstructed interview is not evidence. Nor should a tool connection silently publish or contact a source; editorial review and communication authority remain separate decisions.

What to provide and what to expect

Provide the reporting question, source documents, verified quotations and publication constraints. Expect an organized claim ledger, verification questions or a draft whose facts remain linked to evidence. Mark unresolved facts before improving the narrative, so polished language does not hide uncertainty.

Tools, permissions and boundaries

Choose tools supported by the actual host; commands and hooks are not automatically portable. Access to archives, transcripts or services needs appropriate permissions. Sensitive source material should be kept within the approved handling environment rather than uploaded merely for convenience.

The tradeoff and an alternative

A simple evidence table and a human editor may be enough for a short story. The toolkit becomes useful when repeated source handling needs consistency. Its benefit is an auditable process, not a claim that an assistant has acquired independent reporting experience.

A small acceptance exercise

Proposed exercise: draft a short account from two supplied documents. Trace each factual sentence to a passage, keep one conflicting claim visibly unresolved, and compare every quotation verbatim. Reject a draft that fills a missing name, motive or comment with a plausible invention.

Source, version and what was actually read

The pinned README opening catalogue, journalism categories and host-portability distinction were read. Individual reporting skills, archives and any publication or messaging integrations were not evaluated. LuluSkill did not install or run this project; the exercise above is a proposed reader check, not a reported result.

How to use this listing

LuluSkill publishes the description and the source link only. The skill itself stays in its author’s repository, and nothing here is installed, copied or run for you.

Read what the skill helps with The summary above says which job the project is for. If that is not the job you have, this is probably not the listing you want.
Open the original source and follow the author’s own instructions The link to the original project opens its author’s page. That page, not this one, is where the setup steps and any copying instructions live.
Use it in a compatible AI assistant Skills of this kind are normally used inside an AI assistant that can read a folder of files on your computer. Which assistants support them is the author’s decision, so check their page before you start.

Who it is for

Somebody who already wants this one job done and is willing to follow the author’s setup steps. No programming knowledge is assumed, and this listing cannot tell you whether the project suits you.

Before you start

You need an AI assistant that supports skills, and you will be following somebody else’s instructions on your own computer. Read them before you run anything.

What you end up with

Whatever the author’s project produces. LuluSkill never runs it, so this page cannot promise a result, a file, or a level of quality.

Where it is normally used

Projects like this are usually used in an AI assistant that supports skills, such as an AI coding assistant. The author’s repository says which assistants it is written for; LuluSkill has not tested it with any of them.

Listing only

LuluSkill lists this project only. It does not host, download or run its code.

What this page does not include

The project’s files and setup steps stay in its own repository. LuluSkill has not security-tested the project or confirmed which AI assistants it works with.

Search Skills
Three search and extraction skills: a search layer that queries several web-search services in parallel, scores results by the intent of the question, removes duplicates and follows citation chains; a URL-to-Markdown extractor that falls back to a document-parsing service for sites that block scraping; and a wrapper for the MinerU parsing service that converts PDF, Office and HTML documents to Markdown. The search and parsing services need the user's own API keys, and the main documentation is in Simplified Chinese. Aimed at people who want an agent to gather and read sources from several search engines at once.
AI Research Skills
A library of 98 skills for AI research and machine-learning engineering, grouped into 23 areas: an orchestration skill that runs a research project from ideation through experiments to a written paper, plus framework-specific guidance for model architecture, tokenization, fine-tuning, post-training, distributed training, quantization and optimization, inference serving, evaluation, interpretability, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, MLOps, multimodal models and paper writing. Aimed at AI researchers and ML engineers who want an agent to follow framework documentation and a written research workflow.
Deep Research Skills
A two-phase research workflow in five skills: the agent first drafts a research outline of items and fields for a topic, the user can add items or fields, then each item is investigated in depth by a separate agent and the results are compiled into a Markdown report that leaves uncertain values blank. Provided in English and Chinese variants, with a web-search agent definition. Aimed at people doing technology selection, literature or benchmark surveys, competitor analysis and due diligence who want to control the scope at each step.
