  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 21 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by cclank on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the News Aggregator Skill AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/cclank/news-aggregator-skill/tree/main
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cclank/news-aggregator-skill.git \
  .claude/skills/news-aggregator-skill
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable News Aggregator Skill in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads News Aggregator Skill on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so News Aggregator Skill is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

News Aggregator Skill

Fetch real-time hot news from 44+ sources (including international news + AI curated aggregators + user-defined OPML feeds), generate deep analysis reports in Chinese.


🔄 Universal Workflow (3 Steps)

Every news request follows the same workflow, regardless of source or combination:

Step 1: Fetch Data

bash
# Single source
python3 scripts/fetch_news.py --source <source_key> --no-save

# Multiple sources (comma-separated)
python3 scripts/fetch_news.py --source hackernews,github,wallstreetcn --no-save

# All sources (broad scan)
python3 scripts/fetch_news.py --source all --limit 15 --deep --no-save

# With keyword filter (auto-expand: "AI" → "AI,LLM,GPT,Claude,Agent,RAG")
python3 scripts/fetch_news.py --source hackernews --keyword "AI,LLM,GPT" --deep --no-save

Step 2: Generate Report

Read the output JSON and format every item using the Unified Report Template below. Translate all content to Simplified Chinese.

Step 3: Save & Present

Save the report to reports/YYYY-MM-DD/<source>_report.md, then display the full content to the user.


📰 Unified Report Template

All sources use this single template. Show/hide optional fields based on data availability.

markdown
#### N. [标题 (中文翻译)](https://original-url.com)
- **Source**: 源名 | **Time**: 时间 | **Heat**: 🔥 热度值
- **Links**: [Discussion](hn_url) | [GitHub](gh_url)     ← 仅在数据存在时显示
- **Summary**: 一句话中文摘要。
- **Deep Dive**: 💡 **Insight**: 深度分析(背景、影响、技术价值)。

Source-Specific Adaptations

Only the differences from the universal template:

SourceAdaptation
Hacker NewsMUST include [Discussion](hn_url) link
GitHubUse 🌟 Stars for Heat, add Lang field, add #Tags in Deep Dive
Hugging FaceUse 🔥 +N upvotes for Heat, include [GitHub](url) if present, write 深度解读 (not just translate abstract)
WeiboPreserve exact heat text (e.g. "108万")
AIHOTsummary 已是中文编辑稿,直接引用不要再翻译;Heat 字段为空也别造数据;保留 推荐理由 风格的一句话点评
TLDR AI单条标题往往是多主题混合(Topic A 💻, Topic B ⚡, Topic C ⛪),拆成 bullet 列出每个主题;summary 是 HTML 段落,需要拆出每个主题对应的一两句概述
Import AI周刊长文,标题形如 Import AI 458: 主题1; 主题2; 主题3。建议默认配 --deep,否则 RSS summary 只是开头几句;Deep Dive 直接提炼 Jack Clark 的核心观点而非平铺事实
International NewsMUST use the Unified Report Template for every item;只使用最近 24h RSS 条目,不用更早新闻 Smart Fill;英文标题与摘要翻译成简体中文,保留原始媒体名与链接;同一事件多家媒体重复时可合并观点但不能合并链接
Reutersreuters 使用 Google News RSS 的 site:reuters.com fallback;报告里保留 Reuters (Google News fallback) source,不要写成官方公开 RSS

Custom (v2)userYour OPML feeds (see below)

自定义订阅源 (User OPML)

把你常看的 RSS/Atom 源写进 OPML,--source user 即可统一抓取。

1. 放置 OPML 文件(按优先级查找):

  • ~/.config/news-aggregator/user_sources.opml(推荐,跨 skill 复用)
  • <skill_root>/user_sources.opml(本仓库内)

2. 文件格式:标准 OPML 2.0,可直接从 Feedly / Inoreader / NetNewsWire 导出。参考 user_sources.opml.example:

xml
<outline type="rss" text="Simon Willison" title="Simon Willison"
         xmlUrl="https://simonwillison.net/atom/everything/" />

只 xmlUrl 必填,其它可选。

3. 运行:python3 scripts/fetch_news.py --source user --limit 15

daily_briefing.py (Morning Routines)

Pre-configured multi-source profiles:

bash
python3 scripts/daily_briefing.py --profile <profile>

Workflow: Execute script → Read corresponding instruction file → Generate report following both the instruction file AND the universal template.


⚠️ Rules (Strict)

  1. Language: ALL output in Simplified Chinese (简体中文). Keep well-known English proper nouns (ChatGPT, Python, etc.).
  2. Time: MANDATORY field. Never skip. If missing in JSON, mark as "Unknown Time". Preserve "Real-time" / "Today" / "Hot" as-is.
  3. Anti-Hallucination: Only use data from the JSON. Never invent news items. Use simple SVO sentences. Do not fabricate causal relationships.
  4. Smart Keyword Expansion: When user says "AI" → auto-expand to "AI,LLM,GPT,Claude,Agent,RAG,DeepSeek". Similar expansions for other domains.
  5. Smart Fill: If results < 5 items in a time window, supplement with high-value items from wider range. Mark supplementary items with ⚠️. Exception: International News sources are a hard 24h window; do not supplement with older items.
  6. Save: Always save report to reports/YYYY-MM-DD/ before displaying.

📋 Interactive Menu

When the user says "如意如意" or asks for "menu/help":

  1. Read templates.md
  2. Display the menu
  3. Execute the user's selection using the Universal Workflow above

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+, pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Playwright (for HF Papers & Ben's Bites): playwright install chromium

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the News Aggregator Skill AI skill do?

Comprehensive news aggregator that fetches, filters, and deeply analyzes real-time content from 44+ sources including Hacker News, Lobsters, Dev.to, GitHub, arXiv, Hugging Face Papers, AIHOT, TLDR AI, Import AI, BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, France 24, Reuters fallback, AI Newsletters, WallStreetCN, Weibo, 少数派, InfoQ 中文, Podcasts, and user-defined OPML feeds. Use when user requests 'daily scans', 'tech news', 'finance updates', 'AI briefings', 'international news', 'deep analysis', or says '如意如意' to open the interactive menu.

Why use News Aggregator Skill on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. News Aggregator Skill is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install News Aggregator Skill in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cclank/news-aggregator-skill/tree/main. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use News Aggregator Skill?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with News Aggregator Skill?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use News Aggregator Skill with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the News Aggregator Skill AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by cclank. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
