  1. 1

    Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.

  2. 2

    Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

TechNews Skill

Fetches top stories from TechMeme, summarizes linked articles, and highlights social media buzz.

Usage

Command: /technews

Fetches the top 10 stories from TechMeme, provides summaries from the linked articles, and highlights notable social media reactions.

Setup

This skill requires:

  • Python 3.9+
  • requests and beautifulsoup4 packages
  • Optional: tiktoken for token-aware truncation

Install dependencies:

pip install requests beautifulsoup4

Architecture

The skill works in three stages:

  1. Scrape TechMeme โ€” scripts/techmeme_scraper.py fetches and parses top stories
  2. Fetch Articles โ€” scripts/article_fetcher.py retrieves article content in parallel
  3. Summarize โ€” scripts/summarizer.py generates summaries and finds social reactions

Commands

/technews

Fetches and presents top tech news stories.

Output includes:

  • Story title and original link
  • AI-generated summary
  • Social media highlights (Twitter reactions)
  • Relevance score based on topic preferences

How It Works

  1. Scrapes TechMeme's homepage for top stories (by default, top 10)
  2. For each story, fetches the linked article
  3. Generates a concise summary (2-3 sentences)
  4. Checks for notable social media reactions
  5. Presents results in a clean, readable format

State

  • <workspace>/memory/technews_history.json โ€” cache of recently fetched stories to avoid repeats

Examples

  • /technews โ€” Get the latest tech news summary

Future Expansion

This skill is designed to be extended to other sources:

  • Hacker News (/hn)
  • Reddit (/reddit)
  • Other tech news aggregators

The modular architecture allows adding new source handlers without changing core functionality.
