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.

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 | $0.00014 | $0.00437 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00218 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00087 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00044 |
Grade A, and why
news-digest-generator 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 5d 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.
What it actually says
News Digest Generator
Steps
1. Check for Duplicates
Run the duplicate checker to load previously covered headlines:
python3 .claude/skills/news-digest-generator/scripts/check_duplicates.py output/
This outputs a list of known headlines to avoid.
2. Visit News Sources
Navigate to each configured news source and extract content:
- Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com): Top 15 stories with points and comment counts
- TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com): Top 10 featured articles with authors
For each source:
- Navigate using chrome-devtools
- Take a page snapshot to extract structured content
- Take a screenshot for archival (save to
output/screenshots/)
3. Extract Headlines
From each source, extract:
- Headline text
- URL
- Source name
- Metadata (points, comments, author, publish time)
Filter out any headlines that match the duplicate list from Step 1.
4. Generate Summary
For each story:
- Write a 1-2 sentence summary based on the headline and any available context
- Assign a category (AI, Web, Security, Startups, DevTools, Science, Other)
- Rate relevance (High / Medium / Low)
5. Analyze Trends
Identify 3-5 themes that appear across multiple stories:
- Name each trend
- List the related stories
- Write a brief analysis paragraph
6. Compose Digest
Read the template from assets/template.md and fill in all sections:
- Header with date and source count
- Source summary table
- Top stories by category
- Trend analysis
- Footer
7. Save Output
Write the completed digest to:
output/YYYY-MM-DD-digest.md
Verify the file was written correctly by reading it back.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

news-digest-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository joonlab/claude-code-with-github-actions (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 437 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 2026-08-31.
