What This Skill Does

The Tech Digest v2.1 skill is a powerful, automated intelligence agent designed to aggregate, filter, and synthesize technological information from across the web. By leveraging a multi-layered data collection pipeline, the tool pulls information from RSS feeds, Twitter/X, GitHub releases, and targeted web searches. Once data is ingested, the skill employs a sophisticated quality scoring and deduplication system to ensure that the final output is high-signal and relevant to the user's defined interests. It utilizes a modular script-based workflow that supports various output formats including Discord, email, and clean Markdown, making it ideal for maintaining situational awareness in the fast-paced tech industry.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dinstein/tech-digest. After installation, navigate to your workspace directory to manage your configurations. You will need to create a workspace/config folder and populate it with the provided sources.json and topics.json files. For advanced functionality, such as fetching social media data or executing specific web searches, set your environment variables for X_BEARER_TOKEN, BRAVE_API_KEY, and GITHUB_TOKEN. This setup ensures you can monitor specific KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) and project releases effectively.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for developers, product managers, and tech researchers who need to stay informed without manual information overload. Use it to generate daily summaries of breakthroughs in the LLM field, monitor specific GitHub repositories for new releases, or track high-level discourse from industry leaders on social media. It is also excellent for curating content for internal newsletters or team communication channels in Discord.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, run the tech-digest pipeline and generate a markdown report for all LLM-related news from the last 24 hours."
2. "Can you fetch the latest updates from my configured RSS feeds and Twitter list, then post a summarized version to our team Discord channel?"
3. "Generate an email-ready digest based on my topics.json file that prioritizes GitHub releases and hides any tutorials."

Tips & Limitations

To get the best results, maintain a lean sources.json file to keep the processing time low. The quality scoring pipeline is sensitive to the must_include and exclude filters in topics.json, so refine these regularly to reduce noise. Note that the skill requires external API access; ensure your environment variables are valid and that you respect the rate limits of the services (especially Twitter/X and Brave Search). The script execution order must be followed precisely as shown in the documentation to ensure the merge step has all required data sources.
