A skill here is a workflow with instructions, tool use and several steps, not just one prompt. Right now the collection lists one skill, a fact-checker, and the page names a few more ideas the maintainers could add. ### Who it suits Reporters, editors and newsroom developers who want ready workflows for an AI assistant. It also suits journalism students who want to see how a reporting task can be turned into a reusable skill. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | News media | Reporters | Hand a claim to the fact-checker skill | Check a statement in a draft against several sources | | News media | Editors | Review how a skill is written before the team adopts it | Read the skill files in the skills folder | | Education | Journalism students | Learn how a task becomes a skill | Study the fact-checker skill | | Technology | Newsroom developers | Build on shared skills instead of starting over | Send a pull request with a new skill | If you do not use an AI assistant in your work, you can skip it. ### Where to use it The skills are meant for these places: - Claude and Claude Code, where the repository also holds plugin and CLAUDE.md files. - ChatGPT and other AI assistants, by copying a skill from the skills folder. - A web browser, to read the collection's page on Hugging Face. | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Fact-check a claim | Reporters | A check of the claim against several sources | | Read the collection | Editors and students | A page listing the skills and what each does | | Share a new skill | Journalists with a workflow | A place to contribute it for others | ### How to set it up Reading the page online needs nothing. To use a skill you need a few things: - An AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT - Python with pip, if you want the files on your computer - The huggingface\_hub package, which the first command installs The steps download the Space, look at the collection and then copy a skill into your assistant. 1. Install the Hugging Face package. 2. Download the Space into a folder called ai-journalism-skills. 3. Move into that folder. 4. Open index.html in a web browser to see the collection. 5. Copy a skill from the skills folder into your AI assistant. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download fdaudens/ai-journalism-skills --repo-type space --local-dir ai-journalism-skills cd ai-journalism-skills ``` ### How to use it Pick a skill in the skills folder and give it to your preferred assistant, then ask the assistant to do the job the skill describes. The README says a one-command install for Claude Code users is still to come through a plugin marketplace. | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | fact-checker | Checks claims against more than one source | ### Example You copy the fact-checker skill into your assistant and ask it to check one claim from your draft. The README expects a skill like this to look things up, compare the sources it finds and point out where they disagree. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new to this, open the page and read what the fact-checker skill does. Then try it on one claim you already know the answer to. A skill is just a saved set of instructions that your assistant follows. If you know the field, the README treats a skill as a small workflow rather than one prompt: it bundles instructions with access to tools and a chain of steps. A skill can look things up online, work with databases, open documents and talk to other services through APIs. The repository holds a skills folder, a plugin folder and notes for making a marketplace. A journalist picks a skill from the skills folder → The skill is copied into an AI assistant → The assistant follows its steps and tools → The journalist reviews what comes back ### Good to know Only one skill is listed today. Source finder, FOIA helper, interview prep and data story are ideas, not finished skills. - License: cc-by-4. The README says to use it freely with attribution. - Cost to run: none named. You use your own AI assistant and whatever it costs you. - Data it reaches: a skill can reach the web, databases, documents and APIs, depending on the assistant and tools you give it. This Space itself is static pages and files. - Not for: replacing a reporter's own checking. The README presents the skills as helpers that do work for you, and pull requests are welcome. ## README ````markdown # Ai Journalism Skills Offers open-source skills and prompt workflows for journalists to hand to an AI agent, starting with a fact-checker.
