Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00018 | $0.00922 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00461 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00184 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
news-aggregation scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
News Aggregation (Multi-Source, 3-Day Window)
Collect latest news from multiple sites and aggregators, merge similar stories into short topics, and list all main source links under each topic.
When to use
- You want one concise briefing from many outlets.
- You need deduplicated coverage (same story from multiple sites).
- You want source transparency (all original links shown).
- You want a default time window of the last 3 days unless specified otherwise.
Required tools / APIs
- No API keys required for basic RSS workflow.
- Python 3.10+
Install:
pip install feedparser python-dateutil
Sources (news sites + aggregators)
Use a mixed source list for better coverage.

// Next step: add title-similarity clustering (same idea as Python section above)
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 108 lines · 18 tokens per session scan A 08b704e38dc7
news-aggregation is a skill published in the GitHub repository besoeasy/open-skills (132 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 922 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
