# SKILL: news-to-structured-data

## Description
Extract structured information from a news article: people, organizations, events, timeline, and key quotes. Output as standardized JSON.

## Trigger
When user provides a news article URL or the full text of a news article.

## Instructions

1. Read the provided news article carefully.
2. Identify all mentioned **people** (name + role/title).
3. Identify all **organizations** (companies, bands, agencies, etc.).
4. Identify the **main event** and **key events** (including dates/times if given).
5. Extract up to 3 **key quotes** with speaker attribution.
6. Output ONLY a JSON object with the following structure:

```json
{
  "title": "article headline",
  "date_published": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "people": [
    {"name": "Full Name", "role": "e.g., co-founder"}
  ],
  "organizations": [
    {"name": "Org name", "type": "band/company/agency"}
  ],
  "main_event": {
    "description": "what happened",
    "date": "when (if available)",
    "location": "where (if available)"
  },
  "timeline": [
    {"date": "YYYY", "event": "description"}
  ],
  "key_quotes": [
    {"speaker": "Name", "quote": "exact quote text"}
  ],
  "source_url": "original URL if provided"
}

把这段内容保存为 `news-to-structured-data.md`，然后在你用的AI工具里当系统提示载入。

## 4. 实际案例演示

我们来测试刚才这条新闻：The Commodores co-founder Ronald LaPread去世的消息。原文来自 AL.com。

### 差 Prompt vs 好 Prompt 对比

**差 Prompt**（很多人会这样写）：

这种写法的问题：
- AI会随意选择输出格式，可能是一段话，也可能分点，但很难直接解析
- 关键实体和关系可能被忽略或混在一起
- 每次输出都不一致，没法自动化

**好 Prompt**（使用上面的SKILL）：

我拿Claude 3.5实际跑了一次，输出如下（已核对原文，准确）：

```json
{
  "title": "The Commodores co-founder, Alabama native dead at 75: ‘I am devastated’",
  "date_published": "2026-06-01",
  "people": [
    {"name": "Ronald LaPread", "role": "co-founder and bassist of The Commodores"},
    {"name": "Soraya LaPread", "role": "daughter of Ronald LaPread"},
    {"name": "Tim Roxborogh", "role": "NZ radio host and close friend"}
  ],
  "organizations": [
    {"name": "The Commodores", "type": "band"},
    {"name": "New Zealand Herald", "type": "news organization"},
    {"name": "EW.com", "type": "news organization"},
    {"name": "Newstalk ZB", "type": "radio station"}
  ],
  "main_event": {
    "description": "Ronald LaPread, co-founder of The Commodores, died at age 75 after a sudden medical event",
    "date": "late May 2026 (exact date not specified)",
    "location": "Auckland, New Zealand"
  },
  "timeline": [
    {"date": "1970", "event": "Ronald LaPread co-founded The Commodores"},
    {"date": "1986", "event": "LaPread left The Commodores after 16 years"},
    {"date": "2026-05-30 or 31", "event": "LaPread died in Auckland after a sudden medical event"}
  ],
  "key_quotes": [
    {"speaker": "Soraya LaPread", "quote": "It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that my Father Ronald LaPread has passed"},
    {"speaker": "Tim Roxborogh", "quote": "He just always looked so good and so healthy"},
    {"speaker": "Soraya LaPread", "quote": "It’s because he loved me so unconditionally and so deeply that the loss is indescribable"}
  ],
  "source_url": "https://www.al.com/life/2026/06/the-commodores-co-founder-alabama-native-dead-at-75-i-am-devastated.html"
}

Output ONLY a Mermaid timeline diagram code block. Example:

```mermaid
timeline
    title Key Events
    1970 : Co-founded The Commodores
    1986 : Left the band
    2026 : Passed away
