What This Skill Does

NewsPulse is a comprehensive cryptocurrency news aggregation and intelligence agent designed for the OpenClaw ecosystem. It functions as a real-time monitor for global crypto markets, pulling data from over 10 authoritative sources including CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, and The Block. Beyond simple news aggregation, NewsPulse provides actionable intelligence by performing sentiment analysis on headlines, categorizing events by importance, and filtering updates by specific tickers or regulatory topics. It acts as a dedicated research assistant that helps traders, developers, and investors stay ahead of market volatility by providing structured, timely, and relevant news alerts directly to their OpenClaw workspace.

Installation

To integrate NewsPulse into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/gztanht/newspulse Alternatively, for manual node-based configurations, you can initialize the package using: npx @gztanht/newspulse After installation, ensure you verify your source configuration in config/sources.json to tailor the data flow to your specific monitoring requirements.

Use Cases

NewsPulse serves multiple professional roles. Traders use it to receive immediate alerts on market-moving events like regulatory shifts, exchange hacks, or high-volatility announcements. Developers use it to monitor ecosystem-specific news for major protocols. Analysts leverage the sentiment analysis feature to gauge market fear or greed over 24-hour periods for specific assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum. It replaces the need to manually browse fragmented news sites by consolidating the noise into a single, filtered stream.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current sentiment for Bitcoin over the last 24 hours and summarize the top three negative news stories."
2. "Show me all recent news tagged as high importance regarding Ethereum regulatory updates."
3. "Set up a real-time subscription for any major news alerts involving Solana or black-swan events."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the utility of this skill, prioritize the use of the --importance high flag to reduce notification fatigue. Note that while sentiment analysis provides a general indicator, it should not be treated as financial advice. The data relies on RSS feeds, so there is an inherent delay of 5-15 minutes depending on source updates. Ensure your local environment has sufficient disk space for the 1-hour cache buffer to maintain performance.
