AI Brief (/ai-brief)
A morning brew of AI news — curated from ArXiv, Hacker News, Reddit, skills.sh, and world news APIs, filtered and synthesized into what's actually worth your time.
Quick Start
python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py
What It Does
- Fetches (in sequence): ArXiv papers, HN top stories, Reddit (MachineLearning, LocalLLaMA, etc.), trending skills from skills.sh, world news via NewsAPI/World News API/GNews
- Synthesizes with AI: filters to AI-relevant content, produces a concise brief with Must-Read, Research Highlights, Community Buzz, Tools & Skills, and a one-liner takeaway
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|
--skip-fetch | Use today's existing digests only (don't run source scripts) |
--no-save | Print to stdout only, don't save to vault |
Examples
python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py
python3 _scripts/org_skill.py --daily && python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py --skip-fetch
python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py --skip-fetch
python3 _scripts/ai_brief.py --no-save
vs org-daily
| org-daily | ai-brief |
|---|
| Purpose | Broad daily curation | AI-focused synthesis |
| Sources | ArXiv, HN, Reddit, TopHub, Twitter, agent news | ArXiv, HN, Reddit, skills.sh, world news APIs |
| Output | Raw digest notes in Sources/ | Single synthesized brief |
| When | Runs all sources in parallel | Run after org-daily with --skip-fetch |
Output
- Path:
Sources/AI Brief - YYYY-MM-DD.md
- Format: Must-Read → Research Highlights → Community Buzz → Tools & Skills → One-Liner
- Uses [[wikilinks]] for concepts
Pipeline
Run via pipeline:
python3 _scripts/pipeline.py --run ai-brief
Configuration
