Daily AI Audio Briefing

Automatically collect, deduplicate, summarize, and synthesize a daily tech briefing as a warm-voiced MP3 every morning.

Workspace

Collection script + summarization/TTS script
Output: briefing/YYYY-MM-DD.mp3 + .txt
Knowledge base: brain/news/YYYY-MM-DD/
Schedule: cron (recommended 8:30 AM)

Workflow

Collect — Scrape GitHub trending/rising, HN top/show/new, arXiv latest AI papers, weather
Deduplicate — Compare against brain/news/ existing entries
- New project → mark is_new
- Growth >30% → mark is_update
- Otherwise → discard
Ingest — Write new entries to brain/news/YYYY-MM-DD/
Summarize — AI composes briefing script from filtered JSON
Synthesize — TTS API → MP3 file
Cleanup — Delete briefings older than 7 days

Rules

Don't use shell-level file deletion (find -delete) — may trigger security scanners; use Python Path.unlink()
Don't assume cron environment has API keys loaded — export them before running scripts
Don't use inline python3 -c or heredocs in agent/cron mode — write to .py files first
Don't trust agent-reported "MP3 generated" — verify mtime with stat after TTS step
Don't let each source exceed 8 items — keeps briefing concise

Validation

Collection script runs successfully, all sources return data
After dedup, filtered items ≥ 3
Generated briefing text contains correct date (no placeholders)
MP3 mtime matches current time (TTS actually ran)

Pitfalls

Date placeholders not replaced (Fixed: 2026-05-12)

Symptom: Briefing shows "Year X Month X" instead of actual date
Root cause: Prompt didn't inject real date, AI made it up
Fix: Inject datetime.date.today() into summarization prompt

Wrong weather source (Fixed: 2026-05-12)

Symptom: Always reports wrong city/temperature format
Root cause: Source only provided real-time temp, no high/low
Fix: Switch to structured weather API with high/low temp

Cron security scanner false positives

Symptom: Prompt blocked by exfil_curl pattern
Fix: Mark trusted cron job with skip_injection_scan: true

Cron environment missing .env

Symptom: TTS fails with "Missing credentials"
Fix: Export API keys before script execution

Model reasoning field empty content

Symptom: Reasoning model puts output in reasoning field, content is empty
Fix: Set generous max_tokens + retry with assistant message on empty content

TTS text length limit

Symptom: Long text causes unstable TTS output
Fix: Auto-truncate at safe threshold (~3000 chars)

hyperframes-cli.md

from "cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills"

HyperFrames CLI dev loop — project scaffolding, validation (lint/inspect), browser preview with live reload, MP4/WebM rendering, and environment troubleshooting (doctor, browser, info, upgrade). Use when running any npx hyperframes command or troubleshooting the build/render environment. For composition authoring see the hyperframes skill; for asset preprocessing (tts, transcribe, remove-background) see the hyperframes-media skill.

hyperframes-media.md

from "cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills"

Asset preprocessing for HyperFrames compositions — local text-to-speech narration (Kokoro-82M, no API key), audio/video transcription (Whisper), and background removal for transparent overlays (u2net). Use when generating voiceover from text, transcribing speech for captions, removing background from video/images, choosing TTS voices or whisper models, or chaining TTS -> transcribe -> captions. Each command downloads its own model on first run.

hyperframes.md

from "cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills"

Create, compose, animate, and render HTML-based video compositions using HyperFrames — an open-source video rendering framework built for AI agents. Covers composition authoring with data attributes, GSAP timelines, caption/subtitle generation, text-to-speech narration, audio-reactive animations, scene transitions, variable-driven parametrized renders, and the full video production workflow.
