What it does

Daily AI News is an agent skill from YYH211/Claude-meta-skill. Aggregates and summarizes the latest AI news from multiple sources including AI news websites and web search. Provides concise news briefs with direct links to original articles. Activates when user asks for 'today's AI news', 'AI updates', 'latest AI developments', or mentions wanting a 'daily AI briefing'.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/news_sources.md`, `references/output_templates.md` and `references/search_queries.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: A curated collection of reusable skills for Claude Code. Enhance Claude's capabilities with ready-to-use skill modules including comprehensive guides, templates, and best… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks for todays AI news
  • Latest AI developments
  • Mentions wanting a daily AI briefing

Example prompts

  • “s AI news”
  • “AI updates”
  • “latest AI developments”
  • “/daily-ai-news”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Information Gathering
  2. Content Filtering
  3. Categorization
  4. Output Formatting

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ba6f50c. 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

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

    • venturebeat.com
    • techcrunch.com
    • theverge.com
    • technologyreview.com
    • artificialintelligence-news.com
    • ai.hubtoday.app

    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

Daily AI News loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 828 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9k

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.

Daily AI News Briefing

Aggregates the latest AI news from multiple sources and delivers concise summaries with direct links

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

  • Asks for today's AI news or latest AI developments
  • Requests a daily AI briefing or updates
  • Mentions wanting to know what's happening in AI
  • Asks for AI industry news, trends, or breakthroughs
  • Wants a summary of recent AI announcements
  • Says: "给我今天的AI资讯" (Give me today's AI news)
  • Says: "AI有什么新动态" (What's new in AI)

Workflow Overview

This skill uses a 4-phase workflow to gather, filter, categorize, and present AI news:

Phase 1: Information Gathering
  ├─ Direct website fetching (3-5 major AI news sites)
  └─ Web search with date filters
      ↓
Phase 2: Content Filtering
  ├─ Keep: Last 24-48 hours, major announcements
  └─ Remove: Duplicates, minor updates, old content
      ↓
Phase 3: Categorization
  └─ Organize into 5 categories
      ↓
Phase 4: Output Formatting
  └─ Present with links and structure

Phase 1: Information Gathering

Step 1.1: Fetch from Primary AI News Sources

Use mcp__web_reader__webReader to fetch content from 3-5 major AI news websites:

Recommended Primary Sources (choose 3-5 per session):

Parameters:

  • return_format: markdown
  • with_images_summary: false (focus on text content)
  • timeout: 20 seconds per source
Step 1.2: Execute Web Search Queries

Use WebSearch with date-filtered queries to discover additional news:

Query Template (adjust dates dynamically):

General: "AI news today" OR "artificial intelligence breakthrough" after:[2025-12-23]
Research: "AI research paper" OR "machine learning breakthrough" after:[2025-12-23]
Industry: "AI startup funding" OR "AI company news" after:[2025-12-23]
Products: "AI application launch" OR "new AI tool" after:[2025-12-23]

Best Practices:

  • Always use current date or yesterday's date in filters
  • Execute 2-3 queries across different categories
  • Limit to top 10-15 results per query
  • Prioritize sources from last 24-48 hours
Step 1.3: Fetch Full Articles

For the top 10-15 most relevant stories from search results:

  • Extract URLs from search results
  • Use mcp__web_reader__webReader to fetch full article content
  • This ensures accurate summarization vs. just using snippets

Phase 2: Content Filtering

Filter Criteria

Keep:

  • News from last 24-48 hours (preferably today)
  • Major announcements (product launches, model releases, research breakthroughs)
  • Industry developments (funding, partnerships, regulations, acquisitions)
  • Technical advances (new models, techniques, benchmarks)
  • Significant company updates (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.)

Remove:

  • Duplicate stories (same news across multiple sources)
  • Minor updates or marketing fluff
  • Content older than 3 days unless highly significant
  • Non-AI content or tangentially related articles
Deduplication Strategy

When the same story appears in multiple sources:

  • Keep the most comprehensive version
  • Note alternative sources in the summary
  • Prioritize authoritative sources (company blogs > news aggregators)

Phase 3: Categorization

Organize news into 5 categories:

🔥 Major Announcements
  • Product launches (new AI tools, services, features)
  • Model releases (GPT updates, Claude features, Gemini capabilities)
  • Major company announcements (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Microsoft, Meta)
🔬 Research & Papers
  • Academic breakthroughs
  • New research papers from top conferences
  • Novel techniques or methodologies
  • Benchmark achievements
💰 Industry & Business
  • Funding rounds and investments
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Partnerships and collaborations
  • Market trends and analysis
🛠️ Tools & Applications
  • New AI tools and frameworks
  • Practical AI applications
  • Open source releases
  • Developer resources
🌍 Policy & Ethics
  • AI regulations and policies
  • Safety and ethics discussions
  • Social impact studies
  • Government initiatives

Phase 4: Output Formatting

Use the following template for consistent output:

markdown
