At a glance

Integrates multiple news sources into a single, cohesive press release using an inverted pyramid structure and AP style.

  • Works in 2 steps: Raw text input containing news… → A specific topic (topic).
  • You have raw news content and a topic
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Key Features, Dependencies and Example Usage, plus 13 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

Multi Source News Writer is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Integrates multiple news sources into a single, cohesive press release using an inverted pyramid structure and AP style. Use when you have raw news content and a topic, and need a professional press release.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `multi-source-news-writer_audit_result_v2.json`, `references/writing_guidelines.md` and `scripts/validate_skill.py`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You have raw news content and a topic
  • Need a professional press release

Example prompts

  • “Use the multi-source-news-writer skill to integrate multiple news sources into a single, cohesive press release using an inverted pyramid structure…”
  • “/multi-source-news-writer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Raw text input containing news information (input1).
  2. A specific topic (topic).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Multi Source News Writer loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 713 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

When to Use

Use this skill when you have:

  1. Raw text input containing news information (input1).
  2. A specific topic (topic).

Key Features

  • Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Integrates multiple news sources into a single, cohesive press release using an inverted pyramid structure and AP style. Use when you have raw news content and a topic, and need a professional press release.
  • Packaged executable path(s): scripts/validate_skill.py.
  • Reference material available in references/ for task-specific guidance.
  • Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

  • Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
  • Third-party packages: not explicitly version-pinned in this skill package. Add pinned versions if this skill needs stricter environment control.

Example Usage

bash
cd "20260316/scientific-skills/Others/multi-source-news-writer"
python -m py_compile scripts/validate_skill.py
python scripts/validate_skill.py --help

Example run plan:

  1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
  2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
  3. Run python scripts/validate_skill.py with the validated inputs.
  4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

  • Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
  • Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
  • Primary implementation surface: scripts/validate_skill.py.
  • Reference guidance: references/ contains supporting rules, prompts, or checklists.
  • Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
  • Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.

Validation Shortcut

Run this minimal command first to verify the supported execution path:

bash
python scripts/validate_skill.py --help

Multi-Source News Writer

This skill acts as a senior news editor, synthesizing multiple information sources into a high-quality, logically coherent press release.

Workflow

  1. Analyze Inputs: Read the provided news content and topic.
  2. Apply Guidelines: strict adherence to the writing guidelines in references/writing_guidelines.md.
    • Extract 5W1H.
    • Resolve conflicts.
    • Structure as Inverted Pyramid.
  3. Generate Output: Produce the press release in the specified Markdown format.

Rules

  • No Irrelevant Output: Do not output thinking processes or extraneous content.
  • Strict Length Control: Follow the character limits defined in the guidelines.
  • Objectivity: Maintain a neutral stance.

References

When Not to Use

  • Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
  • Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
  • Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.
Show full SKILL.md (294 more words)Show less

Required Inputs

  • A clearly specified task goal aligned with the documented scope.
  • All required files, identifiers, parameters, or environment variables before execution.
  • Any domain constraints, formatting requirements, and expected output destination if applicable.

Output Contract

  • Return a structured deliverable that is directly usable without reformatting.
  • If a file is produced, prefer a deterministic output name such as multi_source_news_writer_result.md unless the skill documentation defines a better convention.
  • Include a short validation summary describing what was checked, what assumptions were made, and any remaining limitations.

Validation and Safety Rules

  • Validate required inputs before execution and stop early when mandatory fields or files are missing.
  • Do not fabricate measurements, references, findings, or conclusions that are not supported by the provided source material.
  • Emit a clear warning when credentials, privacy constraints, safety boundaries, or unsupported requests affect the result.
  • Keep the output safe, reproducible, and within the documented scope at all times.

Failure Handling

  • If validation fails, explain the exact missing field, file, or parameter and show the minimum fix required.
  • If an external dependency or script fails, surface the command path, likely cause, and the next recovery step.
  • If partial output is returned, label it clearly and identify which checks could not be completed.

Quick Validation

Run this minimal verification path before full execution when possible:

text
No local script validation step is required for this skill.

Expected output format:

text
Result file: multi_source_news_writer_result.md
Validation summary: PASS/FAIL with brief notes
Assumptions: explicit list if any

Deterministic Output Rules

  • Use the same section order for every supported request of this skill.
  • Keep output field names stable and do not rename documented keys across examples.
  • If a value is unavailable, emit an explicit placeholder instead of omitting the field.

Completion Checklist

  • Confirm all required inputs were present and valid.
  • Confirm the supported execution path completed without unresolved errors.
  • Confirm the final deliverable matches the documented format exactly.
  • Confirm assumptions, limitations, and warnings are surfaced explicitly.
