What This Skill Does

The Daily Hot News (daily-hot-news) skill acts as a comprehensive aggregator for real-time trending data across the Chinese internet. It interfaces with a local instance of the DailyHotApi to provide unified access to 54 diverse platforms ranging from social media giants like Weibo and Zhihu to tech-focused communities such as V2EX and Juejin. Beyond simple retrieval, the skill manages local persistence, allowing users to track trends over time through historical archiving and automated storage mechanisms. It also integrates with notification workflows like Feishu to deliver scheduled briefings, keeping you informed without the need to manually browse multiple apps.

Tips & Limitations

• Performance: The skill relies on a local background service; ensure enough disk space for the data/ directory if auto-save is enabled.
• Storage: Use the storage.py --clear 30 command periodically to prevent excessive disk usage from older archives.
• Network: The skill requires network access to sync data from the DailyHotApi; if you are behind a strict firewall, ensure the service can reach the target platforms.
