Overview

The Template Selector is a skill for Claude AI, specifically for journalism projects. It provides a decision tree to match projects with the correct CLAUDE.md or LESSONS.md template category. This includes six journalism-focused template types: Newsroom AI tool, fact-checker editorial-tool; Conference, summit, workshop event-website; Newsletter, podcast, blog publication; Investigation, data journalism research-project; CMS workflow, syndication content-pipeline; Historical collection, archive digital-archive. The skill helps users choose the correct template by asking questions about the project, such as whether it has a specific end date or event, whether it's ongoing, or if it's an editorial tool. It then provides guidance on the template categories and signs for each, including primary users, content types, and workflows.
