What it does

Daily News Digest is an agent skill from clawdotnet/openclaw.net. Produce a daily news brief (AI/security/dev) with links, key takeaways, and action items.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Summarization and Prompt injection and agent security. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted Enterprise and Personal AI + agent runtime in .NET (NativeAOT-friendly). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Summarization
  • Tasks that involve Prompt injection and agent security

Example prompts

  • “/daily-news-digest”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Clarify scope if missing
  2. Prefer 8–15 high-signal items over many low-signal ones.
  3. Use web tools when available
  4. Output format
  5. Be explicit about uncertainty and avoid quoting large blocks from sources.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit caac06a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Daily News Digest loads about 211 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~211

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.

description
Produce a daily news brief (AI/security/dev) with links, key takeaways, and action items.

When asked for “daily news”, “today’s news”, or a “news digest”:

  1. Clarify scope if missing:
    • topics (AI, security, software, business), region, and desired length.
  2. Prefer 8–15 high-signal items over many low-signal ones.
  3. Use web tools when available:
    • Search first, then open 1–2 sources per item to confirm details.
    • Deduplicate: don’t repeat the same story across multiple outlets.
  4. Output format:
    • Date (include timezone)
    • Top stories (bullets with links)
    • 5 key takeaways
    • “What to watch” (next 24–72h)
    • Optional: “Recommended reads” (3 links)
  5. Be explicit about uncertainty and avoid quoting large blocks from sources.
