What it does
Aeon Hacker News Digest is an agent skill from BankrBot/skills. Top Hacker News stories filtered by interest tags, with comment-mined insights (top, dissenting, expert/builder) and themed clustering. Comments often beat the post — this skill extracts the highest-signal threads rather than just listing front-page links. Triggers: "top HN today", "hacker news digest", "what's on hn", "best comments today".
Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `catalog.json`).
The repository describes itself as: Bankr Skills equip builders with plug-and-play tools to build more powerful agents.
Example prompts
- “top HN today”
- “hacker news digest”
- “s on hn”
- “/aeon-hacker-news-digest”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dc47eed. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
hn.algolia.comhacker-news.firebaseio.com
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
Aeon Hacker News Digest loads about 561 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 207 words (~561 tokens).
“Daily HN digest that goes beyond the front page. Stories filtered by configurable interests, clustered by theme, with the highest-signal comments mined from each thread.”
