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.

Fable 5 $0.00035 $0.00883
Opus 5 $0.00017 $0.00441
Sonnet 5 $0.00007 $0.00177

Security

Grade A, and why

news 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

新闻查询

当用户询问"最新新闻"、"今天发生了什么"或某类别新闻时使用本技能。

工作流程

方式一:搜索工具(推荐,速度快)

search(
  query="今日财经新闻",
  freshness="day",
  language="zh-CN",
  count=8
)

参数说明:

  • freshnessday(24h)/ week / month / year
  • languagezh-CN(中文)/ en(英文)
  • count:返回结果数,1-10,默认 5

方式二:浏览器直接访问权威来源

当搜索结果质量不佳或用户需要更权威来源时:

browser_use(action="start")
browser_use(action="open", url="https://www.chinanews.com/society/")
browser_use(action="snapshot")
类别 来源 URL
政治 人民网 · 党报 https://cpc.people.com.cn/
财经 中国经济网 http://www.ce.cn/
社会 中新网 · 社会 https://www.chinanews.com/society/
国际 CGTN https://www.cgtn.com/
科技 科技日报 https://www.stdaily.com/
体育 央视体育 https://sports.cctv.com/
娱乐 新浪娱乐 https://ent.sina.com.cn/

浏览器用完后关闭:

browser_use(action="stop")

输出格式

以要点列表呈现,每条包含:

  • 标题(加粗)
  • 一两句摘要
  • 来源 + 发布时间

示例:

**经济数据:3 月 CPI 同比上涨 0.1%**
国家统计局今日发布数据,环比下降 0.4%,低于市场预期。
来源:中国经济网 · 2026-04-23

方式三:持续监控 RSS/Atom(blogwatcher)

当用户需要定期追踪某个来源而非单次查询时,使用 blogwatcher-cli

安装:pip install blogwatcher-cli(SQLite 后端,无需服务器)

# 添加 RSS 源
blogwatcher add --name "科技日报" --url https://www.stdaily.com/rss.xml

# 添加 Atom 源(也支持)
blogwatcher add --name "MIT Tech Review" --url https://www.technologyreview.com/feed/

# 列出已订阅来源
blogwatcher list

# 拉取所有来源的新文章(增量,只返回未见过的)
blogwatcher fetch --all

# 拉取指定来源
blogwatcher fetch --name "科技日报"

# 查看最近 N 条条目
blogwatcher entries --limit 20

# 搜索历史条目
blogwatcher search "人工智能 大模型"

# 删除来源
blogwatcher remove --name "科技日报"

blogwatcher fetch增量的:只返回自上次 fetch 以来的新条目,不重复推送旧内容。

适用场景

  • 用户说"每天帮我看看某网站有什么新文章"
  • 需要追踪多个来源、避免重复浏览
  • 配合 cron 技能设置定时抓取任务

注意事项

  • 搜索结果以新鲜度为优先,优先选 freshness="day"
  • 多个类别时分别搜索,避免混淆
  • 网站无法访问时说明原因并提供备用来源链接
  • 不编造新闻,所有内容来自实际搜索/浏览结果

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.
