Fetches Hacker News top stories, a chosen story with its comment thread and the linked article through the official APIs, then summarizes them.

- Summarizing the current Hacker News front page
- SKILL.md covers 1. Current top stories (the…, 2. Find a specific story by…, 3. Fetch a story + its comment… and 4. Fetch the linked article, plus 1 more section
- Calls curl and python3; reaches hacker-news.firebaseio.com and hn.algolia.com
What it does
The hckrnews.com front end is rendered with JavaScript, so fetching it returns an empty shell and the skill says not to scrape it. It uses the official Hacker News Firebase and Algolia APIs instead, which return plain JSON with points, comment counts and full comment trees. The current top stories come from `topstories.json`, which lists 500 story IDs in front-page order, and the agent takes the first N and looks up each item.
To find a specific story, the agent searches Algolia by topic, optionally filtering by a recent timestamp to avoid old duplicates, and picks the match with the most points and comments. It then fetches the item's nested comment tree and prints root comments in thread order, since per-comment points are now always null. The linked article is fetched with `curl`, stripped to readable text, and a Wayback Machine snapshot is the fallback for JavaScript-heavy or paywalled pages.
When your agent uses it
- Summarizing the current Hacker News front page
- Reading a specific HN story together with its discussion
- Pulling the top few stories from hckrnews
- Reading an article that blocks direct fetches by using an archived snapshot
Example prompts
- “Summarize the top 10 stories on Hacker News right now.”
- “Find the HN discussion about the latest Rust release and summarize the main arguments in the comments.”
- “Summarize that Hacker News story plus its top comment threads, and fetch the linked article too.”
- “Give me the top 5 from hckrnews with a one-line summary of each discussion.”
Requirements
- Network access to the Hacker News and Algolia APIs
- `curl` and Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Current top stories (the "top 10")
- Find a specific story by topic (Algolia search)
- Fetch a story + its comment tree
- Fetch the linked article
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 577ac89. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
hacker-news.firebaseio.comhn.algolia.comarchive.org
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
Hacker News Summarizer loads about 942 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 306 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 306 words (~942 tokens).
“hckrnews.com is a JavaScript-rendered front end - curling it returns an empty shell, so do not scrape it. Instead use the official Hacker News APIs (Firebase + Algolia), which give the same stories with points, comment counts, and full comment…”
