What it does

Pp Foxnews is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Fox News headlines from Google Publisher RSS — pick a section (latest, world, politics, sports, ...) or default to latest. Trigger phrases: fox news headlines, what's on fox news, fox politics headlines, fox sports rss, use foxnews, run foxnews.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Official library of CLIs generated by the CLI Printing Press. Endorsed, tested, and community-contributed. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: fox news headlines
  • Whats on fox news
  • Fox politics headlines

Example prompts

  • “/pp-foxnews”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer
  2. Verify: foxnews-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9a1696. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • jq

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • moxie.foxnews.com

    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

Pp Foxnews loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash

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.

Fox News — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the foxnews-pp-cli binary. Verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command.

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer:
    bash
    npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install foxnews --cli-only
  2. Verify: foxnews-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH.

If --version reports "command not found", fix $PATH before running skill commands.

When to Use This CLI

Use for read-only Fox News headline lists from official Google Publisher RSS feeds. One bounded JSON call per section — no API key, no HTML parsing.

  • Default section latest = all-topic headline mix
  • Use --section for world, politics, science, health, sports, travel, tech, opinion, or video

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not use for posting, commenting, paywalled article bodies, live TV listings, or non-Fox data sources. This CLI only reads the RSS feeds listed below.

Not the Drudge Report CLI

This is not drudgereport-pp-cli. These commands do not exist here:

  • which, sync, splash, breaking, tail, tenure, sources, on-date, bent, story, digest

For Fox News, use:

  • sections — list valid --section ids (default feed is latest)
  • headlines — fetch headlines for one section
  • agent-context — runtime JSON catalog of commands, sections, and defaults
  • doctor — RSS connectivity check

RSS sections

Commands

headlines

Fetch headlines for a section (default latest).

bash
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --json
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section politics --limit 10 --json --select title,link,published
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section sports --agent
sections

List valid --section values.

bash
foxnews-pp-cli sections --json
agent-context

Emit structured JSON for agents (commands, sections, default_section: latest, and explicit not_available list).

bash
foxnews-pp-cli agent-context --pretty
doctor

Probe the latest feed (connectivity smoke test).

bash
foxnews-pp-cli doctor --json

Recipes

Top stories right now (all sections)
bash
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --limit 15 --agent

Parse .results for headline rows; use .meta.section and .meta.feed_url for provenance.

Politics briefing
bash
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section politics --limit 10 --agent --select title,link
Discover sections at runtime
bash
foxnews-pp-cli agent-context | jq '.default_section, .sections[].id'

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run foxnews-pp-cli doctor to verify RSS connectivity.

Output defaults

Matches other Printing Press CLIs (e.g. drudgereport, hackernews):

  • Piped stdout (agent/bash tools): JSON automatically — no --json required
  • Interactive terminal: plain table unless you pass --json or --agent

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

  • Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
  • Compact — keeps title, link, published, section on headlines (drops categories, description, guid unless --select overrides)
  • Filterable — --select wins over --compact for explicit field lists
  • Previewable — --dry-run validates flags without fetching
  • Read-only — never mutates remote state
Response envelope

Machine JSON wraps data like Drudge store-backed reads:

json
{
  "meta": {"source": "live", "feed_url": "...", "section": "latest", "count": 10},
  "results": [ {"title": "...", "link": "...", "published": "...", "section": "latest"} ]
}

Parse .results for rows and .meta.source / .meta.feed_url for provenance. sections uses "source": "catalog"; doctor returns a status object in results.

bash
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section latest --limit 10 --agent
