press-release

Intelligent press-release drafting microservice. Turns a who / what / when / where / quote brief into a fully structured, AP-style press release, and provides the supporting building blocks (boilerplate, quote formatting, headline, subhead) plus a rule-based AP-style linter.

Every tool has a deterministic template/rule core that runs fully offline (AP dateline formatting, inverted-pyramid lead assembly, boilerplate template, a rule-based AP-style checker). draft, headline and subhead additionally have an optional LLM path that enriches the prose and silently falls back to the template — results tagged { mode: 'heuristic' | 'llm' }.

Tools

Tool	Args	Returns
`draft`	`{ who, what, when?, where?, quote?, speaker?, boilerplate?, details?, options? }`	full structured release + assembled `text`
`boilerplate`	`{ who, details?:{ description, url, founded, industry } }`	`{ text }` (About-X paragraph)
`quote`	`{ quote, speaker?:{name,title}, who? }`	`{ text, attribution, speaker }`
`apStyleCheck`	`{ text }`	`{ score, clean, flags:[{ rule, level, message }] }`
`headline`	`{ what, who?, options? }`	`{ headline }`
`subhead`	`{ what, who?, options? }`	`{ subhead }`

speaker may be a string name or { name, title }. when accepts ISO or free text; the dateline is AP-formatted (Jan./Feb./Aug./Sept./Oct./Nov./Dec. abbreviate with a date).

Example

import pack from './index.js';

await pack.adapters.draft({
  who: 'Acme Corp', what: 'the launch of its AI assistant',
  when: '2026-03-04', where: 'San Francisco',
  quote: 'This changes how our customers work. We could not be prouder.',
  speaker: { name: 'Jane Doe', title: 'chief executive officer' },
  details: { url: 'https://acme.example', contact: { name: 'PR Team', email: '[email protected]' } },
});
// → { mode, dateline:'SAN FRANCISCO, March 4, 2026', lead, quote, boilerplate, text:'FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE …###…' }

pack.adapters.apStyleCheck({ text: 'The company grew 5 percent over 3 years, and shipped fast!' });
// → flags: numbers-under-10, "percent"→"%", Oxford comma, exclamation point, over→more than

AP-style checker rules

Numbers under 10 spelled out · % vs "percent" · serial/Oxford comma omitted · &→"and" in body · month abbreviation with a date · lowercase a.m./p.m. (+ noon/midnight) · lowercase titles after a name · no two-letter state postal codes · no exclamation points · "more than" vs "over".

DRY boundaries

Not landing-copy (marketing landing blocks), not seo, not a-templates (generic

templating). apStyleCheck is a purpose-built AP-style linter, distinct from any grammar/nlp tool.

Self-contained: the only cross-file import is ../_shared/llm.js for the optional AI path.
