Tech News Digest

Use this skill to build a concise daily digest of technology and AI news from a curated source catalog in references/sources.json.

This is the MarketBot-native rewrite of a multi-source daily-news workflow. Use it for technology, AI, developer tools, and product ecosystem coverage, not for price-sensitive trading calls.

Workflow

1. Start with scripts/collect_sources.py for the default collection pass. It reads references/sources.json, fetches enabled web sources, deduplicates, scores, and emits JSON or Markdown.
2. If a specific source or item needs deeper inspection, use web_fetch on the target URL.
3. If the number of worthwhile items is still too low, continue to enabled tier2 sources.
4. Only use tier3_browser when browser tools are available and a listed source clearly needs JS rendering.
5. Deduplicate by URL first, then by near-identical titles.
6. Score candidates for relevance, novelty, readability, and signal density.
7. Output only the best items in concise Markdown.
8. If the user wants a saved artifact, either:
   • run scripts/collect_sources.py --format markdown --output <path> for a direct file export, or
   • write a custom report with write_file using references/report-template.md.

Selection rules

Prefer:

• AI, developer tools, model products, infra, and technical strategy
• operator notes, research interpretation, and strong product insight
• pieces that explain why the development matters

Avoid:

• low-information rewrites
• generic marketing posts
• overly academic summaries without practical context
• duplicate coverage of the same event

Runtime rules

• browser_page and browser_site are optional enrichments, not hard requirements.
• If browser tools are unavailable, continue with web_fetch and note the coverage gap instead of failing the whole digest.
• Prefer specialist browser-backed skills when they clearly fit a source better than ad hoc page interaction.
• Treat this as a current-awareness workflow, not a market recommendation flow.

Output format

Use concise Markdown:

# Tech News Digest

## Summary
- Coverage date:
- Sources checked:

If too little high-quality material is found, say so directly instead of padding the list.
