Technology News Search

Real-time keyword-based search across 75 tech news sources with smart domain routing, automatic network adaptation, domain aliases, heat analysis, and translation.

Overview

This skill searches multiple technology news sources simultaneously, automatically detects technical domains from your keyword (with alias support), routes to relevant sources only, ranks results by "heat score" (based on cross-source appearance, recency, and keyword relevance), and presents them in a clean Markdown format with automatic English-to-Chinese translation.

Total Sources: 75 (18 China + 57 Global, across 9 core technical domains)

Automatic Network Adaptation: The skill silently detects network accessibility and automatically adjusts source selection:

• ✅ Global network accessible: Uses all 75 sources (China + Global)
• 🇨🇳 China-only network: Automatically uses 18 China sources only
• ⚡ Completely transparent: Detection is cached for 5 minutes, no user notification needed

Smart Source Routing

Enhanced with Domain Aliases + Network Adaptation: The skill automatically detects technical domains from your keyword and searches only relevant sources. Network accessibility is detected silently in the background - if global sources are not accessible, the system automatically uses China sources only. Detection result is cached for 5 minutes.

How it works:

1. Silently detect network environment (cached for 5 minutes)
2. Filter sources by network accessibility (global vs China-only)
3. Analyze keyword (supports English and Chinese)
4. Detect technical domains (e.g., "Electron" → frontend, "ChatGPT" → AI, "web" → frontend via alias)
5. Search relevant sources + general sources
6. Rank by heat score and return results

Examples (assuming global network accessible):

• "Electron 技术资讯" → Detects: {general, frontend} → Searches: ~37 sources
• "web development" → Detects: {general, frontend} → Searches: ~37 sources (alias: "web" → frontend)
• "前端框架" → Detects: {general, frontend} → Searches: ~37 sources
• "ChatGPT 最新消息" → Detects: {general, ai} → Searches: ~30 sources
• "ML models" → Detects: {general, ai} → Searches: ~30 sources (alias: "ML" → ai)
• "机器学习" → Detects: {general, ai} → Searches: ~30 sources
• "Docker 安全漏洞" → Detects: {general, devops, security} → Searches: ~32 sources
• "云计算" → Detects: {general, devops} → Searches: ~28 sources (alias: "云" → devops)
• "database optimization" → Detects: {general, backend} → Searches: ~35 sources (merged: database → backend)
• "运维自动化" → Detects: {general, devops} → Searches: ~28 sources
• "树莓派 IoT" → Detects: {general, hardware} → Searches: ~23 sources
• "OpenAI ChatGPT" → Detects: {general, ai} → Searches: ~30 sources (company + product keywords)
• "技术新闻" (generic) → Detects: {general} → Searches: ~25 general sources only

Network Adaptation (completely transparent to user):

• 🌍 Global accessible: Uses all 75 sources
• 🇨🇳 China-only network: Automatically switches to 18 China sources (掘金, InfoQ中文站, 开源中国, 博客园, SegmentFault, V2EX, 36氪, 虎嗅, IT之家, 机器之心, 量子位, 钛媒体, 极客公园, 爱范儿, PingWest品玩, 少数派, 雷锋网, 阿里云开发者)
• ⚡ Fast detection: 3-second timeout with 5-minute cache
• 🔇 Silent operation: No user notification, completely seamless

To disable smart routing and search all available sources (respects network availability):

bash "$SKILLS_ROOT/technology-news-search/scripts/search-news.sh" "keyword" --all-sources

Quick Start

When user asks: "Search for Electron tech news" or "搜索 Electron 技术资讯"

Execute:

bash "$SKILLS_ROOT/technology-news-search/scripts/search-news.sh" "Electron" --limit 15

The script will:

1. Detect domains: {general, frontend}
2. Search 26 relevant sources (13 general + 13 frontend)
3. Output JSON with articles ranked by heat score

Read the JSON and present results in Markdown format with translations.

Workflow

1. Extract keyword from user query

   • English examples: "Search for OpenAI news", "Find articles about ChatGPT"
   • Chinese examples: "搜索 苹果 的科技新闻", "查找 AI 相关资讯"

2. Run search script

   bash "$SKILLS_ROOT/technology-news-search/scripts/search-news.sh" "[keyword]" --limit 15 --max-per-source 5
   
   # To search all sources (disable smart routing)
   bash "$SKILLS_ROOT/technology-news-search/scripts/search-news.sh" "[keyword]" --limit 15 --all-sources
   

   Parameters:

   • --limit 15: Fetch up to 15 articles from each source
   • --max-per-source 5: Display max 5 articles per source (ensures diversity)
   • --no-balance: Disable balancing (show all results sorted by heat)
   • --all-sources: Search all 75 sources (disable smart routing)

3. Read JSON output

   • Script outputs to stdout
   • Contains: keyword, total_found, search_time, results array
   • Each result has: title, summary, url, published_at, source, language, heat_score, duplicate_sources

4. Translate English content

   • For articles with language: "en", translate title and summary to Chinese
   • Keep technical terms in English (AI, GPT, API, SDK, etc.)
   • Format: English Title / 中文翻译

5. Format results by heat tier

   • 🔥 Hot News (90+): Top stories appearing on multiple sources or very recent
   • 📈 Trending (60-89): Moderately popular or recent stories
   • 📰 Related (<60): Other relevant matches

6. Present as Markdown

   • See Output Format section below

Source Balancing

Default behavior: The script limits each source to 5 articles to ensure diversity across different news sources.

Why balancing matters:

• Prevents single sources (like Hacker News) from dominating results
• Ensures exposure to different editorial perspectives
• Provides better coverage across international and Chinese sources

Customization:

# Show more articles per source
bash "$SKILLS_ROOT/technology-news-search/scripts/search-news.sh" "AI" --max-per-source 10

# Disable balancing (show all by heat score only)
bash "$SKILLS_ROOT/technology-news-search/scripts/search-news.sh" "AI" --no-balance

How it works:

1. Fetch articles from all sources (up to --limit per source)
2. Calculate heat scores for all articles
3. Sort by heat score (highest first)
4. Apply diversity filter: keep top --max-per-source from each source
5. Result: Balanced mix of high-quality articles from diverse sources

Output Format

Present search results in this Markdown format:

# 🔍 "[Keyword]" Technology News

Format Notes:

• Group by heat score tiers (Hot 90+, Trending 60-89, Related <60)
• Always translate English content to Chinese
• Include source attribution and publish time
• Show duplicate sources with "Also on: ..." line
• Use star ratings for heat visualization (5 stars = 90-100, 4 stars = 70-89, etc.)
• Provide clickable links to original articles

Source Configuration

Sources are configured in references/sources.json.

To enable/disable sources: Edit the JSON file and set "enabled": true/false.

To add new sources: Add entry to sources array with required fields (id, name, url, type, language, category).

The heat score (0-100) combines multiple factors:

• Multi-source bonus: +20 per duplicate source (same story on multiple sites)
• Time decay:
  • 24h or less: +40 points (very fresh)
  • 24-48h: +28 points (recent)
  • 48-72h: +16 points (somewhat recent)
  • 72h+: +8 points (older)
• Keyword match quality:
  • Exact title match: +30
  • Partial title match: +15
  • Summary match: +5
• HN engagement: +1 per 10 points (max +20)
• Reddit engagement: +1 per 10 upvotes (max +20, NEW)
• Official source bonus: +10 (for official blogs, NEW)
• Base score: 20

Articles appearing on multiple sources rank higher, indicating broader industry interest. Official blog posts from React, Vue, Docker, etc. get priority. Reddit posts with high upvotes get boosted.

Notes

• Always translate: English titles and summaries should have Chinese translations
• Preserve technical terms: Keep AI, GPT, API, SDK, LLM, etc. in English
• Clean presentation: Use Markdown only, no complex HTML artifacts
• Cross-reference duplicates: Show which sources covered the same story
• Keyword matching: Script searches in both titles and summaries across all languages

Troubleshooting

No results found:

• Try broader keywords (e.g., "AI" instead of "GPT-5 benchmarks")
• Check if sources are accessible (firewall/network issues)
• Verify sources are enabled in references/sources.json

Script errors:

• Ensure Node.js is available or WeSight Electron is running
• Check network connectivity
• Review stderr output for specific error messages
• Some sources may be temporarily unavailable

Slow performance:

• Reduce --limit parameter (default is 15)
• Disable some sources in references/sources.json
• Network speed affects RSS fetching time
