  • Make Local Mode journalist research omit emails, social handles, phone numbers, and other contact fields while keeping fit research available.
  • Document Medialyst contact-data provenance, legitimate-interest processing, privacy details, and journalist removal options.
  • Align the Newsjack privacy page and getting-started guidance with the no-contact Local Mode behavior.
  • Refresh the plugin README for the hosted Medialyst server’s current 39-tool surface, including safety and credit notes for the five newer tools.
  • Keep the packaged find-journalists skill and generated 31-skill catalog synchronized with canonical skill frontmatter.
  • Validate with Go tests, site lint/tests/build, the Newsjack package validator, and Claude plugin validation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changed
    • Local journalist research provides a best-effort list based on public bylines, author pages, and recent coverage, but omits contact details—even when publicly listed. Contact data is available only through the optional Medialyst connection.
    • Names, outlet details, fit evidence, and source links remain in user-local files.
    • The plugin reference documents the hosted server’s 39 tools, including list and analytics tools, journalist lookup, credit use, and list deletion with a dry-run preview.

Walkthrough

Local journalist research now omits contact data, including details shown on public pages. The skill instructions and privacy text describe this restriction and the optional Medialyst path. The plugin reference documents the hosted server’s 39-tool surface.

Changes: Local journalist contact policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local Mode contact rules and output
plugins/newsjack/skills/find-journalists/SKILL.md, skills/find-journalists/SKILL.md
Both skill copies restrict contact data to Medialyst results. Local Mode omits contact fields, including those shown on public pages.
Privacy and setup descriptions
apps/site/app/privacy/page.tsx, docs/getting-started.md, CHANGELOG.md
The privacy page describes local research and retained local data. The setup text and changelog describe Local Mode as contact-free.

Medialyst tool reference

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documented Medialyst tools
plugins/newsjack/README.md
The README updates the tool count to 39 and documents additional read, write, and delete tools.

The default login lacks permission for the newly documented analytics tools, and the privacy-policy date needs updating. Resolve these before merging.

Update the privacy-policy date.

This change updates journalist data handling, but the page still says October 17, 2026. The policy promises to update this date when data handling changes. Set it to the publication date of this change. (github.com)

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Document the analytics scope and setup.

Both tools require outreach:read, but the default newsjack login scopes in docs/getting-started.md do not include it. The bundled plugin uses the CLI credentials, so users following this README’s setup cannot call these tools with that default grant. Document how to provide a credential with outreach:read, or update the login flow to request it with consent. (medialyst.ai)
