A workflow for collecting and ranking items from AI newsletters, which are recurring publications about artificial intelligence. It fetches two RSS feeds, removes near-duplicate stories, checks recent archives, and creates a daily digest.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps gather news about AI, language models, agents, machine learning, productivity, and tools, then rank and summarize the selected items.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated stories and the manual work of deciding which AI updates are most relevant and useful.

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

ai-newsletter 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 12d 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.

AI Newsletter Curation

Fetch, deduplicate, and rank AI newsletter content into a daily digest.

Vault Path

/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloudmd~obsidian/Documents/My_note

RSS Sources

  • TLDR AI: https://bullrich.dev/tldr-rss/ai.rss
  • The Rundown AI: https://rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/2R3C6Bt5wj.xml

Workflow

  1. Check cache: Look for 50_Clippings/AI/Newsletters/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD-摘要.md. If exists with today's date, return cached content.

  2. Fetch feeds: Use WebFetch on both RSS URLs. Extract title, link, pubDate, description for each item. If RSS fails, fall back to DuckDuckGo MCP search for "AI newsletter this week", "LLM updates this week", targeting TLDR AI, The Rundown AI, Ben's Bites, Import AI, The Batch.

  3. Deduplicate: Merge items with similar titles (80%+ word overlap). Keep longer description, track both sources.

  4. Rank items by:

    • AI relevance (LLM, GPT, Claude, agents, ML, transformer, diffusion keywords)
    • Productivity relevance (workflow, automation, tools, PKM)
    • Recency (newer = higher)
    • Novelty (check recent archives, penalize repeats)
    • Practical impact (tools, products > pure research > opinion)
  5. Generate digest: Use the template below. Include:

    • 精选推荐 (3-5 highest scoring) with content creation angles
    • AI动态 section
    • 生产力工具 section
    • Stats footer
  6. Save files using Obsidian CLI (obsidian create):

    • 50_Clippings/AI/Newsletters/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD-摘要.md (curated digest)
    • 50_Clippings/AI/Newsletters/YYYY-MM/原始数据/YYYY-MM-DD_TLDR-AI-Raw.md (raw feed)
    • 50_Clippings/AI/Newsletters/YYYY-MM/原始数据/YYYY-MM-DD_Rundown-AI-Raw.md (raw feed)

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.
