Newspaper Brief

What This Skill Does

The Newspaper Brief skill, created by eisonme, is an innovative tool designed to transform raw information into structured, visually appealing, mobile-first newspaper-style briefs. Instead of presenting long, tedious text streams, this skill converts articles, chat logs, meeting minutes, or links into an aesthetically pleasing format featuring headers, summaries, and categorized sections. It functions by processing content into a standardized JSON schema, then rendering it as an HTML/PNG long image optimized for mobile reading. The output style uses a classic, readable aesthetic—black and white with a light cream background—perfect for quick consumption on messaging apps like Telegram.

Installation

To install this skill, use the following command in your terminal:

• Creating recurring daily news briefs from curated chat discussions.
• Repurposing complex information into a reader-friendly format for team distribution.

Example Prompts

3. "做成报纸风长图：[粘贴你的文章链接或原文内容]"

Tips & Limitations

• Structure First: The skill performs best when input is clearly categorized. If you are summarizing a long chat, ensure you extract key takeaways before rendering.
• Readability: Keep your headlines concise. Avoid using ellipses; rewrite titles to be punchy and professional.
• Screen Size: The current version is optimized specifically for mobile viewing. If your source text is excessively long, consider condensing it to ensure the layout remains legible.
• Rendering: While the tool uses HTML as an intermediate step, it supports headless browser screenshots. If the automated image generation encounters issues with extremely long content, focus on refining the section count to 2-4 primary areas for optimal aesthetic balance.
