CustomerNewsletter: Skill for Claude Code

Content Retrieval

Fetch content from Phase 1A URLs and extract items into 5 interim files (one per source).

Quick Start

1. Read the Phase 1A URL manifest from workspace/newsletter_phase1a_url_manifest_*.md
2. Process sources sequentially: GitHub, VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Xcode
3. For each source: fetch URLs, extract features, write interim file, checkpoint
4. Output: 5 files in workspace/newsletter_phase1b_interim_{source}_*.md

Inputs

• Phase 1A Manifest: workspace/newsletter_phase1a_url_manifest_*.md (required)
• DATE_RANGE: Inherited from manifest
• Reference Year: Inherited from manifest

Output

5 interim files in workspace/:

• newsletter_phase1b_interim_github_YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD.md
• newsletter_phase1b_interim_vscode_YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD.md
• newsletter_phase1b_interim_visualstudio_YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD.md
• newsletter_phase1b_interim_jetbrains_YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD.md
• newsletter_phase1b_interim_xcode_YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD.md

Core Workflow

Sequential 5-Chunk Processing

Process sources one at a time to manage context window. After each chunk: write file, confirm, clear working memory.

Chunk 1: GitHub Blog + Changelog -> Write interim -> Checkpoint
Chunk 2: VS Code (Copilot only) -> Write interim -> Checkpoint
Chunk 3: Visual Studio (Copilot only) -> Write interim -> Checkpoint
Chunk 4: JetBrains Plugin -> Write interim -> Checkpoint
Chunk 5: Xcode CHANGELOG -> Write interim -> Complete

Runtime Constraint: Controlled Delegation Only

During CLI pipeline runs in this repo, unbounded or generic delegation can deadlock Phase 1B after retrieval and before interim file creation.

Hard rules:

• Do not delegate to generic or "general-purpose" subagents.
• If delegation is used, delegate only to a named agent with a strict Phase 1B boundary and explicit stop condition.
• Always verify that all 5 interim files are written before exiting Phase 1B.

CRITICAL: Anchor Unit = Feature, NOT Version
