AI News Briefing

When to Use

• You need a daily AI or ML news briefing from multiple RSS sources.
• You need a ranked short list with summaries and sources.

• You need real-time breaking news beyond RSS refresh rates.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Writing a skill.json instead of a root SKILL.md with frontmatter	Use SKILL.md at repo root with name and description frontmatter
Omitting the README install instructions for npx skills add	Add npx skills add <owner>/<repo> to README
Treating limit as a global limit instead of per-source	Treat --limit as a per-source cap

Red Flags

• No SKILL.md at repo root.
• README lacks install and usage examples.
