gate-news-communityscan

General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md → Also read info-news-runtime-rules.md for gate-info / gate-news-specific rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, routing degradation, per-skill version checks when scripts/ is present, and legacy wrapper routing).

• Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.
• Legacy / routing mode: when Step 0 emits __FALLBACK__, use only the MCP tools listed in this file. When Step 0 emits __ROUTE_CLI__, do not call those MCP tools; delegate to the mapped primary skill per Step 0.

Community Sentiment Scan Skill (X/Twitter focused). Parallel calls fetch X/Twitter discussion analysis and quantitative social sentiment; LLM aggregates into a community insights report.

Trigger Scenarios: Community opinions, Twitter/X discussions, KOL views, social sentiment, etc.

Per-skill updates: This directory includes scripts/update-skill.sh and may include scripts/update-skill.ps1. ClawHub packages uploaded to the marketplace often omit update-skill.ps1 (upload-page restriction); GitHub / Bitbucket source trees keep both. Policy: info-news-runtime-rules.md §1. The Trigger update steps below apply in addition to gate-runtime-rules.md; when scripts are present, use this flow for version checks before execution.

Update check — user visibility: Technical failures during version check (missing script, sandbox, network, non-zero exit, no parseable Result= line) must not be explained to the user; continue with Execution per info-news-runtime-rules.md. Only successful check / apply outcomes may be summarized (including update_available / strict exit 3, which is still a success path that requires user confirmation before apply). Do not auto-download update-skill.* from the network. Static reference if .ps1 is missing: canonical scripts live in gate/gate-skills under skills/<name>/scripts/ (same <name> as frontmatter).

Step 0 — Wrapper routing probe

This legacy skill is a compatibility alias for the primary CLI skill gate-news-intel.

Before Trigger update, MCP tool selection, or any legacy Execution Workflow, run a deterministic shell probe:

PRIMARY_SKILL="gate-news-intel"
HAS_PRIMARY=0
for root in \
  "$HOME/.cursor/skills" \
  "$HOME/.codex/skills" \
  "$HOME/.openclaw/skills" \
  "$HOME/.agents/skills" \
  "$HOME/.gemini/antigravity/skills"
do
  if [ -f "$root/$PRIMARY_SKILL/SKILL.md" ]; then
    HAS_PRIMARY=1
    break
  fi
done

if command -v gate-cli >/dev/null 2>&1 && [ "$HAS_PRIMARY" = "1" ]; then
  echo "__ROUTE_CLI__"
else
  echo "__FALLBACK__"
fi

Interpretation:

• __ROUTE_CLI__ → stop here. Do not run Trigger update or the legacy MCP sections below. Follow https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-news-intel/SKILL.md and its playbook contract. Carry over the minimum context: symbol and optional time_range.
• __FALLBACK__ → continue with Trigger update and the legacy MCP workflow in this file.

Trigger update (with Execution)

Default (PD / blocking): On each trigger, run check first without GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto. The script only compares local vs remote; if Result=update_available, it does not overwrite files. STOP — ask the user whether to update before any apply, run, or skill Execution. In sandboxes (e.g. Cursor), use full / all permissions when later running apply. This matches blocking update confirmation in the independent-script TEST_REPORT: blocking is enforced by these SKILL instructions plus check-only behavior (not by silent auto-apply).

Strict check (Agent / IDE — recommended on check): Use GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT=1. When Result=update_available, check exits 3 and prints GATE_SKILL_CHECK_EXIT=3 — it stops only that shell step. Hard rule: after you ask the user, end this assistant turn; do not call apply, run, or MCP in the same message. run applies without a prior user step — do not use run in chat for the blocking flow; use check → user confirms → apply.

Step 1 — Check

Install root: check / apply read $DEST/SKILL.md. Typical $SKILL_ROOT: $HOME/.cursor/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.codex/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.openclaw/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.agents/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<name>/. Single-arg: the script resolves DEST in that order when SKILL.md exists; otherwise DEST is scripts/../. Workspace-only trees need two-arg check / apply with explicit DEST.

Agent selection rules (run at most one of the fenced examples below; choose by OS and files under $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/):

• macOS / Linux / WSL / Git Bash: If update-skill.sh exists → use only the Bash example.
• Windows (native PowerShell): If update-skill.ps1 exists → use only the PowerShell example.
• Windows without .ps1 (typical ClawHub install): If only update-skill.sh exists → try WSL or Git Bash (bash) using the same command shape as the Bash example. If bash is unavailable or execution fails → skip Step 1 silently (no script stderr or “version check failed” message to the user); proceed to Execution.
• Neither script exists: Skip Step 1 silently; proceed to Execution. Do not invent GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN or run apply / revoke-pending.

Bash (blocking — no auto; example Cursor):

GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT=1 bash "$HOME/.cursor/skills/gate-news-communityscan/scripts/update-skill.sh" check "gate-news-communityscan"

PowerShell:

$env:GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT = '1'
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\skills\gate-news-communityscan\scripts\update-skill.ps1" check "gate-news-communityscan"

Result semantics: skipped = no action. update_available = remote newer; with blocking flow, do not apply until the user agrees. check_failed = could not compare — proceed with current version per info-news-runtime-rules.md; do not surface technical check failure details to the user.

Agent parse (stdout): GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_AGENT_ACTION=…. BLOCK_UNTIL_USER_CONFIRMS_UPDATE → Step 2 before Execution. CONTINUE_SKILL_EXECUTION → no block from the check script.

Step 2 — Confirm or Reject (blocking)

Runtime: Use the same shell family for Step 2 as for Step 1 (Bash vs PowerShell). If Step 1 was skipped, do not run apply or revoke-pending.

If update_available:

1. STOP — do NOT proceed to Execution yet.

2. Inform the user (e.g. newer version available; summarize if helpful).

3. Wait for the user’s reply — blocking step.

   Hard rule (Cursor / Agent): When check reports update_available, or BLOCK_UNTIL_USER_CONFIRMS_UPDATE, or strict exit 3, end this turn after asking. Only in the user’s next message run apply (if they agree) or revoke-pending (if they decline). Do not chain apply in the same turn as check for this flow.

   • User agrees → run apply with GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN from strict check stdout when required, then Execution.
   • User declines → revoke-pending, then Execution on the current install.

Two-step gate (strict check): apply / run (without GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto) fail until GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN matches .gate-skill-apply-token. User decline → revoke-pending.

GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN="<paste from check stdout>" bash "$HOME/.cursor/skills/gate-news-communityscan/scripts/update-skill.sh" apply "gate-news-communityscan"

bash "$HOME/.cursor/skills/gate-news-communityscan/scripts/update-skill.sh" revoke-pending "gate-news-communityscan"

$env:GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN = '<paste from check stdout>'
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\skills\gate-news-communityscan\scripts\update-skill.ps1" apply "gate-news-communityscan"

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\skills\gate-news-communityscan\scripts\update-skill.ps1" revoke-pending "gate-news-communityscan"

If Step 1 was not strict (no pending token): apply without GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN is allowed.

If skipped or check_failed: no update step; proceed to Execution.

Optional — GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto

For CI / unattended automation only: setting GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto on check makes the script apply immediately when the remote is newer — no user confirmation and incompatible with blocking update confirmation tests. Do not use auto on check when reproducing the blocking PD flow.

Parameters

• name: Frontmatter name above; must match skills/<name>/ on gate-skills.
• Invoke: Use $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/update-skill.sh (or .ps1) where $SKILL_ROOT/SKILL.md is this skill — e.g. ~/.cursor/skills/<name>, ~/.codex/skills/<name>, ~/.openclaw/skills/<name>, ~/.agents/skills/<name>, ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<name>; do not treat ~/.cursor (or any host root without skills/<name>/SKILL.md) as the install. With one arg, the script resolves $SKILL_ROOT in that order before falling back to the script’s directory; workspace installs need explicit DEST. Two-arg check / apply / revoke-pending: canonical order is absolute DEST (skill root) first, then name; update-skill.sh / update-skill.ps1 auto-swap when only one normalized path contains SKILL.md (e.g. agent passes name then path).
• ClawHub vs full tree: Installs without update-skill.ps1 may copy it from gate/gate-skills under skills/<name>/scripts/ (manual only; agents must not auto-download).

Do not dump raw script logs into the user-facing reply except when debugging. On check exit 3 (strict), do not run Execution until Step 2 is resolved. On check_failed or apply failure, still run Execution when appropriate per runtime rules.

Known Limitations

• UGC platforms: Reddit, Discord, and Telegram depend on search_ugc availability. Until that API is online, label reports as X/Twitter-only.
• Historical sentiment trend may degrade to a single-point snapshot depending on upstream API coverage.

Step 1: Intent Recognition & Parameter Extraction

• coin (optional)
• topic (optional): e.g., ETF, regulation, Layer 2
• query: constructed from coin + topic for X search; if neither, general market social scan

Step 2: Call MCP Tools in Parallel

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data	Parallel
1a	news_feed_search_x	query={coin or topic}	X discussion / narratives / KOL angles	Yes
1b	news_feed_get_social_sentiment	coin={coin} if specified	Sentiment score, ratios, mention volume	Yes

Step 3: LLM Aggregation

• Synthesize qualitative X discussion with quantitative sentiment
• Dominant narratives and KOL themes
• Sentiment vs price alignment or divergence

Safety Rules

1. No fabricated opinions: Only report what data supports; do not invent KOL quotes.
2. Source attribution: Attribute generically to KOL/community unless public figure is clearly named in data.
3. Neutral presentation: Show bullish and bearish views.
4. Sentiment ≠ prediction: State limitations clearly.
5. Platform transparency: Label X/Twitter-only coverage.
6. Misinformation: Prefer "unverified claims circulating" over stating rumors as fact.
7. Age & eligibility: Intended for users aged 18 or above with full civil capacity in their jurisdiction.
8. Data flow: The host agent processes user prompts; this skill directs read-only Gate-News MCP tools listed above. The LLM synthesizes from tool results. This skill does not invoke additional third-party data services.
