What it does
Business News Monitor is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. Daily cron-driven scan of news/forums/social in a domain to surface market shifts, new competitors, regulatory changes, and net-new opportunities. Use when: running a scheduled daily/weekly news pass, or when an idea-grooming pass needs fresh signal. Domain config (sources, keywords, thresholds) lives in agent config.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : running a scheduled daily/weekly news pass
- An idea-grooming pass needs fresh signal
Example prompts
- “/business-news-monitor”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Does it affect a current pursue idea or active work? If yes → material.
- Does it match a keywords_critical keyword? If yes → material.
- Does it represent a new competitor entering the space? If yes → material.
- Does it represent a regulatory or platform change (Apple, Mailchimp, Anthropic, etc.) that touches our stack? If yes → material.
- Does it surface a net-new opportunity (new audience, new tech enabling X, new market emerging)? If yes → material.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f93838. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Business News Monitor loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 499 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.

- description
- Daily cron-driven scan of news/forums/social in a domain to surface market shifts, new competitors, regulatory changes, and net-new opportunities. Use when: running a scheduled daily/weekly news pass, or when an idea-grooming pass needs fresh signal. Domain config (sources, keywords, thresholds) lives in agent config.
Business News Monitor
You scan the domain your agent operates in for material shifts that affect the agent's active work — competitor moves, regulatory changes, technology breakthroughs, new entrants, audience-behavior shifts. Output goes to a structured log that other skills (idea-grooming re-grill, planning convos) can read.
This is not a news aggregator. The output isn't "here are the day's headlines." It's "here are the 1-3 things in your domain that materially changed and why you care."
Inputs (from agent config)
Read your agent's config for the domain overlay:
domains: [<list>]— e.g.[financial-newsletters, retail-investor-tools]for fingers,[perfumery, scent-design]for Kevin's perfumer agentnews_sources: [<{name, url, kind}>]— RSS feeds, subreddit URLs, newsletter archives, GitHub trending paths. Each entry has akind(rss / html / subreddit / hn / etc.) so you know how to parse.competitors: [<list>]— known incumbents and direct comparables to track explicitlykeywords_critical: [<list>]— phrases that should trigger an alert if they appear (e.g. "Mailchimp acquisition" for fingers, "Firmenich layoffs" for perfumer)keywords_relevant: [<list>]— phrases that should be surfaced if they appear (broader, lower bar)output_path: <path>— where the daily log gets written (typically<vault>/Operating System/News Monitor/<YYYY-MM-DD>.mdor similar)
If domain config is missing, surface the gap to the operator and don't silently produce a generic scan.
Output rubric
Every run produces ONE markdown file at <output_path>/<YYYY-MM-DD>.md with this shape:
---
date: YYYY-MM-DD
domains: [<from config>]
sources_scanned: <N>
items_seen: <N>
items_kept: <N>
materiality_threshold: medium
---
# Domain news monitor — <date>
## Material shifts (the only section the operator NEEDS to read)
For each material item (cap at 5 — discipline matters):
### <One-line headline of the shift>
- **What changed:** 1-2 sentences, plain language
- **Why we care:** how it affects active work / pursue ideas / current strategy
- **Source:** <link>, <publication>, <date>
- **Confidence:** high | medium | low (how solid the signal is)
- **Suggested action:** flag a re-grill on idea X / update positioning / no action / investigate further
## Surface (interesting, not material)
Bullet list. 3-10 items. Headlines + 1-line takeaway each. No expansion. These are FYI, not action triggers.
## Quiet today
If the scan found nothing material, say so explicitly. "Quiet today" is a valid output. Do NOT manufacture materiality to fill the section.
## Sources scanned
Inline list of every source visited + count of items pulled. Lets the operator audit coverage.Materiality test
For every candidate item, ask:
- Does it affect a current pursue idea or active work? If yes → material.
- Does it match a
keywords_criticalkeyword? If yes → material. - Does it represent a new competitor entering the space? If yes → material.
- Does it represent a regulatory or platform change (Apple, Mailchimp, Anthropic, etc.) that touches our stack? If yes → material.
- Does it surface a net-new opportunity (new audience, new tech enabling X, new market emerging)? If yes → material.
Otherwise → surface (not material).
Hard cap: 5 material items per day. If the day genuinely has more than 5 material shifts, that's worth a Telegram alert to the operator separately — drop the rest into surface.
Show full SKILL.md (164 more words)Show less
Anti-patterns (don't do)
- Don't surface yesterday's news. Each item must be net-new since the last run.
- Don't paraphrase headlines. Quote the source headline verbatim, then add the "what changed" interpretation.
- Don't make predictions. ("This will lead to X" is out of scope.) Stick to what changed and why we care.
- Don't pad. If only 2 things are material, output 2 items. Empty padding is noise.
- Don't paste raw source content. Parse, summarize, link. The output should be skimmable in 60 seconds.
Cron pattern
Suggested cadence per domain:
- Fast-moving domains (financial markets, AI, crypto): daily, weekday morning before the operator's first session
- Slow-moving domains (perfumery, brand strategy, niche B2B): 2x/week
Cadence lives in the agent's cron config, not here. This skill just defines how the scan runs once invoked.
Cross-skill links
