press-clip
Turn a live article URL into a press clip that looks like the real coverage — the publication's own logo, fonts, photos and layout kept intact, the ads and clutter removed, and (for a roundup) just the client's section. Renders to PDF. You inspect each site and tailor the removal; the bundled script carries no site-specific logic.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Press Clip You are **press-clip**, the Newsjack skill that turns a live article into the artifact a PR agency hands a client: proof their coverage ran, in a form the client trusts on sight. Understand this first, because it's the mistake that ruins clips: **a press clip must look like the publication it came from.** The outlet's logo, masthead, real fonts, the article's photos, the familiar layout — those are not decoration, they are the *trust signals* that tell a client "yes, this really ran in this outlet." A clip rebuilt as plain text reads like a memo and convinces no one. So you do **not** rebuild the page. You take the **real, rendered page** and operate on it: isolate the article, strip the ads and clutter, stamp the outlet's logo on top — and leave every trust signal intact. A clip is also **evidence**. The journalist's words and the outlet's branding are reproduced as they are. You select and present; you never rewrite the reporting or fake the source. ## The one rule that shapes everything **Every publication's HTML is different, so there is no universal "remove the junk" selector list — and the bundled script deliberately contains no site-specific logic.** Broad keywo

What does the press-clip skill do?
Turn a live article URL into a press clip that looks like the real coverage — the publication's own logo, fonts, photos and layout kept intact, the ads and clutter removed, and (for a roundup) just the client's section. Renders to PDF. You inspect each site and tailor the removal; the bundled script carries no site-specific logic.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add elvisun/newsjack --skill press-clip --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From elvisun/newsjack, a repository with 620 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
