Fetching AI News

Fetches, classifies, and ranks AI News and Vibe Coding stories with a bundled reference implementation.

When to Use

• User asks to fetch or scrape recent AI news
• User wants AI News Digest or Vibe Coding digest
• User wants to preview digest content before sending
• User wants to send the generated digest to Telegram
• User needs a reusable AI-news MCP capability without paid APIs

Instructions

1. Install dependencies from the bundled reference package.

cd skills/fetching-ai-news
pip install -r references/requirements.txt

2. Start the bundled MCP server.

cd skills/fetching-ai-news
python -m references.src.mcp_server

3. Call run_ai_news_digest(hours=13, max_per_category=6, send=false).

4. Summarize counts plus top links from items.ai and items.vibe_coding.

5. Only use send=true after confirming Telegram credentials are configured.

Workflow Checklist

• Install dependencies (first time only)
• Start the MCP server from skills/fetching-ai-news
• Choose hours, max_per_category, and send
• Call run_ai_news_digest
• Summarize counts and link top items
• If sending to Telegram, verify sent=true

Common Pitfalls

• Do not write a new scraper when the bundled reference implementation already fits
• Do not set send=true unless user explicitly wants Telegram delivery
• Do not assume Telegram credentials exist; check environment first
• Do not treat empty results as failure; check raw_count first
• Run the server from skills/fetching-ai-news, not repo root
