What it does
AI News is an agent skill from letta-ai/skills. Fetch and summarize recent AI news from curated RSS feeds (Hugging Face, VentureBeat, The Verge, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, etc.) and YouTube channels (Yannic Kilcher, Two Minute Papers, AI Explained, etc.). Also fetches full transcripts for specific YouTube videos. Use when the user asks about recent AI news, what's happened in AI lately, summaries of AI research or product announcements, or wants a digest of what's going on in the AI space.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/sources.md`, `scripts/fetch-news.ts` and `scripts/fetch-transcript.ts`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Model hubs and datasets. It works with YouTube, Hugging Face and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: A shared repository for skills. Intended to be used with Letta Code, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and other agents that support skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about recent AI news
- Whats happened in AI lately
- Summaries of AI research
- Product announcements
Example prompts
- “/ai-news”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6785511. 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 4 files in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and npm, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
AI News loads about 582 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 227 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
The full file from letta-ai/skills at commit 6785511, republished under its MIT licence (© letta-ai). 227 words, ~582 tokens.

- Fetch and summarize recent AI news from curated RSS feeds (Hugging Face, VentureBeat, The Verge, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, etc.) and YouTube channels (Yannic Kilcher, Two Minute Papers, AI Explained, etc.). Also fetches full transcripts for specific YouTube videos. Use when the user asks about recent AI news, what's happened in AI lately, summaries of AI research or product announcements, or wants a digest of what's going on in the AI space.
AI News
Fetch recent AI news from RSS feeds and YouTube channel feeds, then synthesize into a digest. Optionally fetch full transcripts for YouTube videos.
Setup (one-time)
cd ~/.letta/skills/ai-news/scripts && npm installWorkflow
1. Fetch recent news
npx tsx scripts/fetch-news.ts [--days 7] [--limit 5] [--sources all|rss|youtube]- Outputs a JSON object with
items[]sorted newest-first - Each item has:
source,type(rss/youtube),title,url,publishedAt,summary,videoId - Failed sources are listed in
errors[]— safe to ignore individual failures
2. Synthesize a digest
Read the JSON output and write a digest grouped by theme (e.g. model releases, research, tools, policy). Lead with the most significant items. For YouTube videos, note they have transcripts available.
3. (Optional) Fetch a video transcript
For any YouTube item worth deeper coverage:
npx tsx scripts/fetch-transcript.ts <video-url-or-id> [--summary] [--lang en]--summaryreturns first ~4000 chars (good for quick context)- Without
--summary, returns full transcript + timestamped segments - Works with any YouTube URL format or bare video ID
Customizing Sources
See references/sources.md for the full list of default RSS feeds and YouTube channels, how to find channel IDs, and additional feed recommendations.
To add/remove sources, edit the RSS_FEEDS and YOUTUBE_CHANNELS arrays at the top of scripts/fetch-news.ts.
Tips
- Use
--days 1for daily briefings,--days 7for weekly digests - Use
--sources rssif YouTube fetches are slow or failing - Some feeds (arXiv) can be very high volume — use a lower
--limitor filter by keyword after fetching - Transcripts require captions to be enabled on the video; auto-generated captions work fine
