AI News Collector
This skill provides workflows and tools to collect, filter, and summarize the latest developments in the AI industry across major platforms.
Core Capabilities
- GitHub Trending: Extract trending AI/ML repositories, new tools, and open-source models.
- X (Twitter) Updates: Gather updates from key AI researchers, organizations, and trending AI hashtags.
- News Aggregation: Summarize top AI headlines from tech news sources.
- Digest Generation: Compile the collected information into a structured, easy-to-read markdown digest.
Workflows
1. Generating a Daily AI Digest
When a user requests a daily AI news summary, follow this process:
-
Information Gathering:
- MUST RESTRICT SEARCH TO THE LAST 7 DAYS. Use explicit date filters (e.g., in
curl or web_search) to ensure no news or repositories older than one week are included.
- Use the web search tool to find the current GitHub trending repositories (filter by spoken language or programming language like Python/Jupyter Notebook).
- Search for recent AI news using queries like "AI news today", "latest artificial intelligence developments", or specific topics (e.g., "OpenAI news", "new LLM releases").
- If applicable and accessible, search for trending AI discussions on X (Twitter).
-
Filtering & Curation:
- Filter out noise and generic news.
- Focus on: New model releases, significant open-source projects, major industry announcements, breakthrough research, and trending developer tools.
- STRICTLY exclude any items older than 7 days.
-
Formatting the Digest:
- Use the template provided in
references/digest-template.md to structure the output.
- Group items logically (e.g., Open Source & GitHub, Industry News, Research & Papers).
- Provide brief, 1-2 sentence summaries for each item.
- MANDATORY: Every single news item, repository, paper, or tweet MUST include its original source URL as a markdown link
[Link](url).
2. Deep Dive on a Specific AI Topic
If the user asks for news about a specific sub-field (e.g., "What's new in AI image generation?"):
- Adjust search queries to focus strictly on that niche.
- Structure the response to highlight the most impactful recent developments in that specific area.
- Ensure all links and 7-day time limits are strictly applied.
Best Practices
- Freshness (Critical): Always verify that the news or repositories are actually recent (Strictly within the last 7 days). Discard anything older.
- Conciseness: Avoid long articles; extract the core value proposition of a new tool or the main takeaway of a news item.
- Categorization: Well-organized digests are much easier to read than flat lists.
- Citations (Critical): Always include URLs to the original source (GitHub repo, news article, or tweet). A report item without a source link is considered invalid.
