Use when the user wants: (1) Daily tech news briefing, (2) Trending topics in AI/developer/news, (3) GitHub trending repos today, (4) Custom tech news digest on specific topics, (5) Save articles to read later.\"\nversion: 1.0.0\nhomepage: https://clawhub.ai\nmetadata:\n  openclaw:\n    emoji: \"📰\"\n    requires:\n      bins:\n        - curl\n---\n\n# Tech News Daily\n\nGet a curated daily briefing of the most important tech news, tailored to your interests.\n\n## When to Use\n\n✅ **USE this skill when:**\n\n- \"What's happening in tech today?\"\n- \"Show me today's top tech news\"\n- \"Any big AI news this week?\"\n- \"What's trending on GitHub?\"\n- \"Give me a morning tech briefing\"\n- \"Find news about [specific topic/company]\"\n\n❌ **DON'T use this skill when:**\n\n- Need financial/stock market news → use a finance skill\n- Need weather or local news → use a weather skill\n- Real-time sports scores → use a sports API\n\n## How It Works\n\nThe skill fetches from multiple free/public RSS feeds and APIs, then summarizes the results.\n\n### News Sources (Free Tier)\n\n| Source | Type | Access |\n|--------|------|--------|\n| Hacker News | Text API | `https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/` |\n| GitHub Trending | Web scrape | `https://github.com/trending` |\n| TechCrunch RSS | RSS Feed | `https://techcrunch.com/feed/` |\n| The Verge RSS | RSS Feed | `https://www.theverge.com/rss/index.xml` |\n\n### Commands / Natural Language Triggers\n\n| What you say | What happens |\n|---|---|\n| \"daily briefing\" | Top 5 stories from Hacker News + TechCrunch |\n| \"trending on GitHub\" | Top 10 GitHub repos today (by language filter) |\n| \"AI news this week\" | Filter articles matching AI/ML keywords |\n| \"tech news about [topic]\" | Search + summarize across sources |\n| \"save that article\" | Bookmark to `scripts/bookmarks.json` |\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Fetch News\n\nWhen the user asks for news, the agent:\n\n1. Checks which sources to use (default: HN + GitHub Trending)\n2. Fetches the latest items using `curl`\n3. Deduplicates and ranks by relevance/recent\n4. Summarizes each item in 2-3 sentences\n\n### 2. Filter by Interest\n\nThe agent can filter by:\n- Topic: \"AI\", \"cybersecurity\", \"open source\", \"startups\", etc.\n- Source: \"HN only\", \"GitHub trending Python\"\n- Time: \"today\", \"this week\", \"past 24h\"\n\n### 3. Bookmark for Later\n\nWhen the user says \"save that\", the agent appends to `scripts/bookmarks.json` with:\n- Title, URL, source, date saved\n- Optional user note/tag\n\n### 4. Generate Digest\n\nThe agent can compile a markdown summary suitable for:\n- Telegram/Signal message\n- Email digest\n- Local markdown file\n\n## Folder Structure\n\n```\ntech-news-daily/\n├── SKILL.md\n└── scripts/\n    └── bookmarks.json       (created on first use)\n```\n\n## Examples\n\n> **User**: \"Give me my morning tech briefing\"\n> **Agent**: *Fetches HN top stories + GitHub trending, presents top 5*\n>\n> **User**: \"Any interesting AI news today?\"\n> **Agent**: *Filters & summarizes AI-related articles across sources*\n>\n> **User**: \"Show me Python trending repos\"\n> **Agent**: *Fetches https://github.com/trending/python?since=daily, lists top 5*\n\n## Notes\n\n- All sources are free/public — no API keys needed\n- For RSS-based sources, the agent uses `curl` + basic XML parsing\n- Respect rate limits: cache results for at least 10 minutes between fetches\n","tags":{"latest":"1.0.0"},"stats":{"comments":0,"downloads":315,"installsAllTime":0,"installsCurrent":0,"stars":0,"versions":1},"createdAt":1777864430405,"updatedAt":1778492842520},"latestVersion":{"version":"1.0.0","createdAt":1777864430405,"changelog":"Initial release: fetch & summarize tech news from HN, GitHub Trending, RSS feeds","license":"MIT-0"},"metadata":{"setup":[],"os":null,"systems":null},"owner":{"handle":"ericlooi504","userId":"s1728b3jrtnnagbdxjy2rmpndh84mk8e","displayName":"ericlooi504","image":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/275256771?v=4"},"moderation":null}
