company-announcement-writer — Claude Code skill: all-hands emails
Drafts company-wide announcements that stay clear and honest without oversharing. Useful when you have to tell the whole team about a change.
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill company-announcement-writer -a claude-codeWhat company-announcement-writer does
The skill puts your agent in the role of an executive communications writer. You describe the situation, and it produces the all-hands email — from a rough draft to something you can send. The output format is fixed: the announcement first, then a short block of recommendations and next steps.
It runs in Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode. One npx skills command installs it, and the skill file lands in the platform's folder — ~/.claude/skills/company-announcement-writer/SKILL.md for Claude. Nothing else is needed to run it.
The skill balances transparency with careful messaging, so it fits sensitive topics like shifting priorities or org changes. If you need a dry press release for an outside audience, look elsewhere: this one is built for internal notes to employees.
What it helps with
- write an all-hands email about shifting priorities
- announce org changes without alarming the team
- draft a company-wide note from leadership
- keep the tone of internal announcements consistent
- add next steps for employees to the message
Example prompts for the agent
- Help me write an all-hands announcement about moving our quarterly goals
- Draft a leadership email about the new team structure
- Write an internal announcement about the release process change, calm and transparent tone
