What This Skill Does

The tech-news-digest skill is an advanced automation framework designed to aggregate, filter, and synthesize technological information from six diverse channels. By utilizing a unified data source model, it pulls updates from RSS feeds, Twitter/X KOLs, GitHub releases, GitHub Trending repositories, Reddit communities, and real-time web searches via Tavily or Brave. The system integrates a robust quality scoring pipeline that ranks information by relevance, ensuring that the final digest is not just a dump of data, but a curated high-signal briefing. The skill supports multiple output formats including Discord-ready markdown, email templates, and PDF-ready structures, making it an essential tool for developers and tech enthusiasts to stay updated without manual searching.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the ClawHub package manager. Run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/asterisk622/xiaoding-dinstein-tech-news-digest After installation, copy the default configuration files from config/defaults/ into your workspace/config/ directory. You will need to populate the environment variables (specifically for API access to Twitter, GitHub, and your preferred search engine) to enable data collection features.

Use Cases

Weekly Briefings: Generate an automated digest of all relevant AI and open-source news every Monday morning for your team.
Market Research: Monitor specific frontier tech topics or GitHub trends to track emerging industry competitors and breakthroughs.
Community Engagement: Automatically post curated daily summaries to Discord channels to keep community members informed about new software releases.

Example Prompts

"Run the tech-news-digest pipeline for the last 24 hours focusing on LLM developments and output the result in a discord-ready format."
"Update my source config to include the latest trending AI repositories on GitHub and run a fresh crawl."
"Summarize the top 5 trending tech news items from the last 48 hours and email the formatted markdown digest to my inbox."

Tips & Limitations

Rate Limits: Always provide a GITHUB_TOKEN to ensure higher API rate limits when scraping repository data.
Quality Control: Adjust the topics.json files carefully. The must_include and exclude tags are powerful; use them to refine your signal-to-noise ratio.
Performance: The pipeline runs in parallel; ensure your machine has sufficient bandwidth and CPU overhead if you are scraping large numbers of sources concurrently.
Dependencies: This tool relies on external API connectivity; ensure your firewall permits outgoing requests to the specified API endpoints.
