🗣 Say this to your agent
“Handle a PR crisis.”“Draft a crisis comms plan.”“Respond to a public backlash/scandal/incident.”“Prepare holding statements.”
What to give it
▸What happened — the incident, when, who's affected, and what's confirmed vs. still unknown.
▸Severity & exposure — how serious, who knows, and where it's spreading (press, social, regulators).
▸Organisation — what you do, who your audiences are, and your voice.
▸Constraints — legal/regulatory limits, what you can't say yet, and who must approve.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Leads with the people affected and clear accountability, not corporate defensiveness
✓Separates confirmed facts from unknowns — no speculation presented as fact
✓Every channel statement is consistent with the one core message
✓A holding statement is ready to publish now, with a committed time for the next update
✓Internal audience is briefed before/with the external statement, not after
✓Legally sensitive claims are flagged for review, not asserted
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not go silent or delay — issue a holding statement, then update; absence writes the story for you
Do not speculate, guess at cause, or admit unverified fault — acknowledge and commit to updates instead
Do not let channels drift off-message — one core message, tailored, not contradictory versions
Do not forget employees — they're your first responders and they'll hear it anyway
Do not over-spin — minimising or blaming others erodes the trust you're trying to keep
