Cas d'usage

Usages concrets : claude-skills-journalism

How to verify every factual claim in a draft before publication

👤 Reporters and editors fact-checking copy on deadline ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : Draft is done; publication in 2 hours; you need to confirm each factual claim has a source.

Prérequis

Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/jamditis/claude-skills-journalism ~/.claude/skills/journalism-skills

Déroulement

Extract claims

Read draft.md. Extract every factual claim (dates, numbers, quotes, causal statements). Number them.✓ Copié

→ Numbered list of distinct factual claims
Source each

For each claim, either link the source URL or flag 'NEEDS VERIFICATION'.✓ Copié

→ Per-claim source or NEEDS VERIFICATION flag
Re-check flagged

For each NEEDS VERIFICATION, search for a source. If none, mark for removal or softening.✓ Copié

→ Resolution per claim

Résultat : A draft where every factual claim has either a source or a documented absence.

Pièges

Claude invents plausible-looking source URLs — Require the skill to fetch each URL and quote the sentence supporting the claim

Combiner avec : notebooklm-skill

Draft a targeted FOIA request

👤 Investigative reporters requesting government records ⏱ ~25 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : You know the agency and the type of record; you want a tight, scoped request that isn't rejected for vagueness.

Déroulement

Scope

FOIA draft: EPA, emails between Region 3 administrators and Company X between Jan-Jun 2024 mentioning 'groundwater'. Tight scope to avoid rejection.✓ Copié

→ Request with specific keywords, date range, agency, and fee-waiver request
Exemption pre-check

Which FOIA exemptions is this likely to trigger, and how should I phrase to minimize them?✓ Copié

→ Exemption-by-exemption analysis

Résultat : A FOIA request likely to produce records rather than rejection.

Pièges

Too broad triggers fees/rejection — Always set a date range and keyword list; drop buzzwords

Explore a government dataset for a data-journalism story

👤 Data reporters looking for story angles in a new dataset ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : You downloaded a CSV/Excel from an agency; you don't yet know what's interesting.

Déroulement

Profile

Load data/inspections.csv. Column types, missing counts, top values per categorical, basic numeric stats.✓ Copié

→ Data profile output
Find angles

Suggest 5 angles an investigative reporter might find here, each with the specific query/filter that surfaces it.✓ Copié

→ Story angles with concrete queries
Draft chart

Chart the most compelling angle. Output ggplot / Python matplotlib code.✓ Copié

→ Chart code + description

Résultat : 2-3 publishable angles, one chart-ready.

Pièges

Treating correlation as causation in the pitch — Ask Claude to caveat every causal-sounding claim

Draft a literature review for an academic paper

👤 Academic writers compiling related work ⏱ ~90 min advanced

Quand l'utiliser : You have 20-50 papers and need to synthesize them into a coherent review.

Déroulement

Cluster papers by theme

Read these 30 abstracts and cluster by theme. Flag methodological disagreements.✓ Copié

→ Thematic clusters + tension points
Draft review

Draft a 1500-word lit review organized by theme, with proper inline citations (author, year).✓ Copié

→ Draft with correct citations

Résultat : A draft lit review ready for subject-matter refinement.
