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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00055 | $0.04478 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.02239 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00896 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00448 |
Grade A, and why
google-news scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Google News RSS API
Google News is a free news aggregator that collects headlines from thousands of publishers around the world. Google exposes its feeds via public RSS 2.0 endpoints that require no authentication or API key.
Base URL
https://news.google.com/rss
All feed URLs are built by appending paths and query parameters to this base.
Query Parameters
Every feed URL accepts the following query parameters to control region and language:
| Parameter | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
hl |
Yes | Interface language / locale code | en-US, fr, de, ja, pt-BR, es-419 |
gl |
Yes | Country / geographic location (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) | US, GB, IN, DE, JP, BR |
ceid |
Yes | Compound locale key in the form {gl}:{language} |
US:en, GB:en, DE:de, JP:ja, BR:pt-419 |
Important: All three parameters should be consistent. Mismatched values may return unexpected or empty results.
Supported Locations (Validated)
The following locations have been tested and confirmed to return valid RSS feeds (HTTP 200):

What ships with it
1 file 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.

google-news is a skill published in the GitHub repository Outsharp/shipp-skills (4 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 4,478 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
