news-digest
Trigger
Use this skill when the user asks for a one-off or scheduled digest of
news in a topic (tech, finance, sports, a specific company, ...). When
a cron job fires with skill_hint=news-digest, this skill is loaded
automatically.
Do NOT use this for:
- Single-article summaries →
web-summary.
- Academic papers →
daily-paper-digest.
- Verifying a specific claim → direct
web_search then read_url.
Inputs
topic: subject area (e.g. "AI 创业", "OpenAI", "电动车"). If
missing, ask once instead of inventing one.window: time window — default "last 24h" for daily, "last 7d" for
weekly.max_items: default 5, hard cap 8.region: optional geographic / language hint (e.g. "中文媒体").
Steps
web_search for <topic> filtered to the window. Prefer reputable
outlets, drop obvious aggregators / SEO farms.- Dedup by canonical URL, then by headline-similarity > 0.8.
- For the top items,
read_url only when the headline alone isn't
enough (e.g. ambiguous, possible clickbait). Skip when it is.
- For each item produce: headline, source domain, one-line takeaway.
- Order newest first. Keep the whole reply IM-sized — no per-item
markdown headings, no quote dumps.
Verification
- Every item carries a real URL.
- Headlines and dates are not invented.
- If fewer than
max_items quality items exist, return the smaller
count and say so — do not pad.
- For scheduled runs, only return
[SILENT] when the topic itself is
unresolved.
Failure Signals
topic missing and not recoverable.- All search results blocked / paywalled.
- Same story repeats across the digest (dedup is failing).
- Output reads like raw search results rather than a curated digest.
