  • 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.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Ai News 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/dannote/dot-pi/tree/master/skills/ai-news
  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.

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/dannote/dot-pi.git /tmp/dot-pi
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/dot-pi/skills/ai-news .claude/skills/ai-news
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ai News 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 Ai News 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 Ai News 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.

AI News Digest

Fetch and curate important AI news from the user's X/Twitter AI list.

Prerequisites

  • @dannote/bird-premium package (official X API v2)
  • AI list ID: 1894700501725229467

Workflow

  1. Fetch tweets from the last 24 hours (use pagination to get all)
  2. Filter out noise (marketing, challenges, hiring, retweets, emojis-only)
  3. Categorize into: Releases, Papers, Insights, Tools
  4. Extract actual announcement links from tweet text (t.co URLs to blogs, GitHub, arxiv)
  5. Include tweet link as source

Fetching Last 24 Hours

The list produces ~250-300 tweets per day. Use pagination to fetch all:

bash
# First request (100 tweets max per request)
bunx --bun @dannote/bird-premium list-timeline 1894700501725229467 -n 100 --json

# Continue with cursor from previous response until createdAt < 24h ago
bunx --bun @dannote/bird-premium list-timeline 1894700501725229467 -n 100 --cursor <nextCursor> --json

Stop fetching when the oldest tweet's createdAt is older than 24 hours.

Merge all tweets from paginated responses, then filter by createdAt >= (now - 24h).

Filtering Criteria

Include (important)

  • Model releases and announcements
  • Research papers (arxiv links, paper titles)
  • Tool/library releases with technical details
  • Benchmark results
  • Technical insights and analysis
  • Infrastructure updates (vLLM, ComfyUI, MLX, etc.)
  • API launches

Exclude (noise)

  • Marketing fluff ("excited to announce", "join us")
  • Challenges and contests
  • Hiring posts
  • Retweets (text starting with "RT @")
  • Single emoji or short reaction posts
  • Partnership announcements without technical substance
  • Repetitive product links spam

Output Format

Organize into sections. Extract actual links from tweet text when available (GitHub, arxiv, blog posts). Include tweet as source.

## Releases

**ProductName** (Company) — Brief description
Link: https://github.com/org/repo (or blog/arxiv link from tweet)
Source: https://x.com/username/status/ID

## Papers

Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/XXXX

Example Usage

User: "What's happening in AI today?"

  1. Fetch first page:
    bash
    bunx --bun @dannote/bird-premium list-timeline 1894700501725229467 -n 100 --json
  2. Check oldest tweet's createdAt — if < 24h ago, fetch next page with --cursor
  3. Repeat until oldest tweet is > 24h old
  4. Merge all tweets, filter to last 24h by createdAt
  5. Parse JSON, extract: author.username, text, id
  6. Build source link: https://x.com/{username}/status/{id}
  7. Extract t.co links from text, resolve to actual URLs when relevant
  8. Filter noise, categorize, output curated digest

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ai News AI skill do?

Fetch and curate AI news from X/Twitter list. Use when user asks for AI news, AI digest, what's happening in AI, or wants a summary of AI announcements, papers, and releases.

Why use Ai News on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ai News 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 Ai News in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/dannote/dot-pi/tree/master/skills/ai-news. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ai News?

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 Ai News?

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

Is the Ai News AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by dannote under the MIT license. 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.
