description	Collect technology-news source material for TK TechNews. Use when an agent needs to fetch RSS feed items, scrape configured web pages, pull YouTube transcripts, refresh data/summaries/latest.json, or prepare source summaries before drafting an article in this repository.

TechNews Research

Use this skill from the repository root.

Workflow

1. Review data/sources.json and add or disable sources for the topic.
2. Review data/monitored-sources.json for YouTube categories and Google News RSS topics.
3. Run npm run precompile:sources.
4. Run npm run ingest.
5. Run npm run extract:knowledge.
6. Inspect src/data/precompiled/, data/summaries/latest.json, and data/knowledge/latest.json for failed sources, noisy summaries, missing citations, or weak entities.
7. If a source fails, either fix its configuration or leave the failure in the ledger for editorial review.

Rules

• Prefer RSS feeds when available.
• Keep monitored YouTube and Google News source output in src/data/precompiled/ so the static site can render it without runtime fetching.
• Use web scraping for stable publisher pages and source indexes.
• Use YouTube transcripts when available; do not infer video content when transcript fetch fails.
• Keep raw payloads in data/raw/; do not commit raw scraped content unless explicitly requested.
• Treat data/knowledge/latest.json as the local searchable knowledge snapshot for generated article drafts.
