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

wechat-business-news-cron 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 9d 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.

Daily News Digest Cron (WeChat / Feishu)

Use this when a user wants recurring current-affairs digests delivered to WeChat or Feishu, especially morning/evening briefings in Chinese with a polished business-brief style.

When to use

  • User wants a daily or twice-daily news digest
  • Delivery target is WeChat / Weixin, Feishu, or the current chat thread
  • The user cares about presentation quality, not just content retrieval
  • The requested schedule is in the user's timezone rather than the environment timezone
  • There may already be older digest jobs that should be removed or replaced

Companion skills

  • google-news-rss-digesting: For the actual news-gathering and canonical-URL-resolution workflow. Load this skill during digest execution to handle Google News RSS → browser topic pages → source homepage verification → canonical URL extraction.
  • multi-search-engine: For broader search queries across 17 engines when RSS alone isn't enough.
  • rss-news-fetcher: Simpler alternative for BBC/Guardian/SCMP RSS-only fetching in restricted environments. Now covers CNBC, NPR, TechCrunch, NYT, WSJ, plus a hybrid RSS+browser workflow for harvesting article detail from JS-rendered news sites.

Core lessons learned

This is not just "create a cron job". In practice, the task often requires:

  1. checking existing cron jobs to avoid duplicate delivery
  2. converting the user's requested local time into the environment timezone manually
  3. using cron syntax instead of natural-language timezone strings
  4. choosing the correct delivery target (weixin worked better than relying on generic origin delivery)
  5. iterating the prompt format until the output feels like a polished Chinese business briefing rather than a low-end bullet dump

Important platform behavior

1) Hermes cron schedule parsing

Do not assume timezone-aware natural language schedules will work. A schedule like:

  • every day at 7:00 Europe/London may fail with an invalid duration/schedule error.

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.
