- Checking what global media is saying about a company or topic right now
- SKILL.md covers When to use, Workflow, CLI examples and Output shape (artlist), plus 4 more sections
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3
What it does
A bundled script, `scripts/doc.py`, builds a GDELT query from your term, with optional operators such as `domain:bloomberg.com` or `sourcelang:eng`, and picks a mode: `artlist` for articles, `timelinetone` for a 15-minute tone series from -10 to +10, `timelinevol` or `timelinevolinfo` for volume over time, or `tonechart` for a tone histogram.
GDELT is a rolling recent-window API, not a historical archive, so the script turns relative timespans into absolute UTC timestamps and echoes them in `meta.window` so a run can be repeated, though the same query asked later returns different results. Requests are throttled to one every 5 seconds. Exit codes cover success, invalid arguments, HTTP or non-JSON errors and network failure, with a wait-and-retry hint for the rate-limit message. It suits questions about what the world is saying on a topic, including non-English and non-financial sources.
When your agent uses it
- Checking what global media is saying about a company or topic right now
- Plotting sentiment or tone over recent days for an event
- Finding articles from non-English sources on a geopolitical story
Example prompts
- “Pull GDELT articles about Nvidia from the last 24 hours.”
- “Show the tone timeline for coverage of the shipping strike over the past week.”
- “Chart article volume for interest rates from bloomberg.com only.”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Network access to the GDELT Doc API
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Build a query in GDELT DSL (the user's term, optionally with operators like
- Pick a mode
- Specify the window — prefer --start/--end (absolute), fall back to
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8fa9a03. 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
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
GDELT News and Tone Search loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 276 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 276 words (~1,006 tokens).
- name
- gdelt
Files
