aggregator

aggregator is a skill for Claude Code from gebruder/wirken. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,105 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A daily news-digest workflow that fetches items from an approved list of public sources, rates them against the user's interests, groups them by theme, and sends the result to a chosen channel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect, deduplicate, filter, group, cite, and deliver relevant updates from RSS feeds, APIs, or rate-limited web sources.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to check many sources manually while showing why each selected item matched the user's interests.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

aggregator 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 8d 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 — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Aggregator

Fires once per day on a cron the operator configures. Performs a strict-pipeline run over the source allowlist:

  1. Fetch each source in sources.toml via the declared method (RSS / API / rate-limited scrape). The HTTP wrapper enforces the egress allowlist.
  2. Normalize fetched items into candidate records: title, source, date, url, body_excerpt, citation_json.
  3. Skip if the candidate's content hash is already in the seen set.
  4. Score the candidate's relevance against the user's interests file (~/.wirken/zirkel/interests.toml). Output: a float in [0, 1] plus a one-line why_surfaced rationale that names the matched interest.
  5. If the score crosses the keep threshold and no skip pattern matches, write the candidate to the local SQLite store. Otherwise, log the skip with reason.
  6. After all sources fetched, cluster the run's kept candidates into emergent themes using a small local embedding model.
  7. Render the digest as plain prose with footnote-ready citations on every item. Push to the configured channel adapter.

Aggregator does not synthesize claims about the world. The digest reads as "N items kept, M skipped. Today's themes: [theme A: items 1, 4; theme B: items 2, 3, 7]. Each item links to its source with a one-line why-surfaced explanation." No "today the regulators are saying X" prose.

This skill is disable-model-invocation: true. Reach it via /aggregator (manual run) or via the operator's cron that calls the underlying CLI command directly.

State

  • ~/.wirken/zirkel/zirkel.db — SQLite database holding candidates, seen, themes, skipped_log, runs, and the cached interests snapshot per run.
  • ~/.wirken/zirkel/interests.toml — user-editable; reloaded at the start of every run; a hash of the file is recorded in the audit log so changes are visible run-to-run.
  • ~/.wirken/zirkel/bodies/ — full bodies referenced by candidates.body_full_path for items where the excerpt is too small for retrieval.

The aggregator and librarian share this state; both skills are scoped to the same ~/.wirken/zirkel/ directory by their permissions blocks.

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.
