DOCUMENTATION AND KNOWLEDGE / Anthropic
Internal Communications
Formats source-backed team updates, internal newsletters and employee FAQs for a defined audience.
“A set of resources to help me write all kinds of internal communications, using the formats that my company likes to use. Claude should use this skill whenever asked to write some sort of internal communications (status reports, leadership updates, 3P updates, company newsletters, FAQs, incident reports, project updates, etc.).”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- The main file is a router to four example formats rather than one generic memo voice.
- An unmatched communication type stops for clarification instead of inventing a format.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- skills/internal-comms/SKILL.md
- skills/internal-comms/examples/3p-updates.md
- skills/internal-comms/LICENSE.txt
Our findings
- The pinned skill lists 3P updates, newsletters, FAQs, status reports, leadership updates, project updates, and incident reports, then points each family at a file under examples/.
- Anything that is not a 3P update, newsletter, or FAQ is sent to examples/general-comms.md.
- The how-to section says to identify the type, load that guideline, and follow its formatting, tone, and content-gathering instructions.
- LICENSE.txt at this path is the Apache License 2.0, which matches the catalogue name.
- The dispatcher routes four communication types to specific example files and requests more context when no guideline matches.
Not established by this review
