AI Brief (/ai-brief)

A morning brew of AI news — curated from ArXiv, Hacker News, Reddit, skills.sh, and world news APIs, filtered and synthesized into what's actually worth your time.

Quick Start

python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py

What It Does

1. Fetches (in sequence): ArXiv papers, HN top stories, Reddit (MachineLearning, LocalLLaMA, etc.), trending skills from skills.sh, world news via NewsAPI/World News API/GNews
2. Synthesizes with AI: filters to AI-relevant content, produces a concise brief with Must-Read, Research Highlights, Community Buzz, Tools & Skills, and a one-liner takeaway

Options

Flag	Description
--skip-fetch	Use today's existing digests only (don't run source scripts)
--no-save	Print to stdout only, don't save to vault

Examples

# Full run: fetch all sources + synthesize
python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py

# Best practice: run org-daily first, then reuse its outputs (no duplicate fetching)
python3 _scripts/org_skill.py --daily && python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py --skip-fetch

# AI-focused synthesis only (reuse today's existing digest files)
python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py --skip-fetch

# Preview without saving
python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py --no-save

vs org-daily

	org-daily	ai-brief
Purpose	Broad daily curation	AI-focused synthesis
Sources	ArXiv, HN, Reddit, TopHub, Twitter, agent news	ArXiv, HN, Reddit, skills.sh, world news APIs
Output	Raw digest notes in Sources/	Single synthesized brief
When	Runs all sources in parallel	Run after org-daily with --skip-fetch

Output

• Path: Sources/AI Brief - YYYY-MM-DD.md
• Format: Must-Read → Research Highlights → Community Buzz → Tools & Skills → One-Liner
• Uses [[wikilinks]] for concepts

Pipeline

Run via pipeline:

python3 _scripts/pipeline.py --run ai-brief

Configuration

Uses existing config:

• _scripts/arxiv_topics.txt — ArXiv search topics (LLM, transformers, etc.)
• _scripts/subreddits.txt — Reddit (MachineLearning, LocalLLaMA, etc.)
• _scripts/twitter_accounts.txt — Optional; add AI accounts for Twitter section
