Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hzlvv/openclaw-new-digestWhat This Skill Does
The news-digest skill for OpenClaw is a sophisticated, agent-driven news aggregation and notification system. Unlike static RSS readers, this tool leverages AI to fetch data from dynamic sources including Twitter (via Xpoz MCP), Hacker News, and Tavily Search. It processes these streams by filtering for relevance, summarizing key insights based on user-defined priorities, and pushing the content to designated communication platforms like Feishu or Telegram. The system is highly configurable, allowing users to define multiple daily 'slots' with unique topics, specific keyword focuses, and custom priority rules, ensuring that the information delivered is always high-signal and tailored to the user's professional or personal needs.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, execute the following command via your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hzlvv/openclaw-new-digest. Once installed, it is critical to verify your environment using node {baseDir}/scripts/env-check.mjs. Before the first use, you must configure your slots. If no configuration exists, the agent will guide you through an interactive setup flow, asking for your preferred push frequencies, topics, and timing. You can also use the init command for a default three-slot configuration (Finance, AI, and General news).
Use Cases
- Professional Market Intelligence: Automatically generate a morning briefing on specific stock tickers, financial events, or crypto market trends to start your workday informed.
- Tech Trend Scouting: Maintain a constant pulse on AI developments or developer tool releases by aggregating top-rated submissions from Hacker News filtered by your preferred tech stack.
- Personalized Knowledge Management: Use the system to gather diverse perspectives on global events or niche hobbies throughout the day, having them delivered to your messaging app during lunch or evening downtime.
Example Prompts
- "Setup my news digest, I want an AI tech update at 10 AM and a general financial summary at 5 PM."
- "Execute the news digest push for the morning slot now."
- "Check if my news configuration is valid and show me the current schedule."
Tips & Limitations
- Scheduled Reliability: For recurring pushes, ensure your machine is running and that you have configured the
cron-trigger.shscript properly in your crontab. - Feedback Loop: The agent supports feedback iteration; if the summaries are too long or inaccurate, you can refine your defaults via the
set-defaultscommand. - Permissions: Since this skill interacts with external APIs and local config files, ensure your environment variables are correctly populated in the
.envfile to prevent authentication failures during data retrieval.
