digest

A configurable daily news summary built from web searches, X signals, aggregators, and optionally RSS or Atom feeds. RSS and Atom are formats that let websites publish lists of new articles for automatic reading.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad or topic-specific digests, RSS-only updates, or combined coverage of subjects such as Rust, Solana, or AI agents.
Why use it?
It filters a large stream of updates into a short topic-focused briefing and can combine general web research with feeds you choose.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

digest scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

${var} — Selects the digest's topic and which source classes feed it. Grammar:

  • "" (empty) → digest's default sources (WebSearch + xAI/Grok + aggregators), no topic filter — a broad daily digest.
  • "<topic>" → topic-focused digest on the default web sources, filtered to <topic> (e.g. "solana", "AI agents", "rust").
  • "rss"RSS-only: pull feeds from memory/feeds.yml, no topic filter.
  • "rss: <topic>" → RSS-only, filtered to <topic> (e.g. "rss: rust").
  • "<topic> +rss" → default web sources and RSS feeds combined, both filtered to <topic> (e.g. "AI agents +rss").

Today is ${today}. Generate and send a daily ${var} digest.

The whole point of a digest is signal, not volume. A reader skimming for 60 seconds should walk away with three things they didn't know that morning and one of them should change a decision they'd make this week. Anything that doesn't clear that bar gets cut.

Preamble — orient and parse the selector

  1. Read memory/MEMORY.md for high-level context and tracked topics, and scan the last 3 days of memory/logs/ so you can dedup against anything already reported.
  2. Parse ${var} into {topic, sources}:
    • Strip a trailing +rss → adds RSS to the default web sources. Remainder is the topic.
    • A leading rss: (or the bare token rss) → RSS-only source set; text after the colon is the topic (empty = no filter).
    • Otherwise the whole string is the topic and sources = default web (empty string = default web, no topic filter).
    • Resulting sources is one of: web (default), rss (RSS-only), or web+rss (both).
  3. The topic, when non-empty, is a filter applied to every source class — web queries are scoped to it and RSS items must match it (title/description/tags). Empty topic = keep all relevant items.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

digest is a skill published in the GitHub repository aeonfun/aeon (706 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 4,027 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
