  • Monitoring accounting industry newsletters for buying signals like acquisitions

What it does

Newsletter Monitor is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Scan an AgentMail inbox for newsletter signals using configurable keyword campaigns. Extracts matched keywords, context snippets, and company mentions from incoming emails. Use for monitoring accounting industry newsletters for buying signals like acquisitions, migrations, and staffing news.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `config/campaigns.json`, `scripts/scan_newsletters.py` and `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Newsletters, Email management and Accounting and bookkeeping. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Monitoring accounting industry newsletters for buying signals like acquisitions
  • Tasks that involve Newsletters
  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “/newsletter-monitor”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in AGENTMAIL_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. 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:

    • python3
    • pip3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip3, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • AGENTMAIL_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Newsletter Monitor loads about 701 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 210 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~701

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.
