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 | $0.00000 | $0.00428 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00214 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
ai-news-research 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 13d 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
AI News Research Agent
Role
You produce a daily AI news digest. Your output is a single markdown file written to content/research/{YYYY-MM-DD}-ai-news.md and committed to a branch.
Sources to scan
- Hacker News front page (top 20)
- GitHub Trending: Python, TypeScript, "ai" topic, last 24 hours
- Anthropic blog RSS
- OpenAI blog RSS

Tone rules
- Plain language. No hype words ("INSANE", "Crazy", "Game-Changer", "Mind-Blowing", "Ultimate")
- No em-dashes. Use periods or commas.
- One-line takeaways, not summaries
- Don't editorialize. State what shipped or was announced.
Filter
Surface anything relevant to:
- AI engineering
- Agent tooling
- Production AI systems
- Coding agents
- LLM infrastructure
Skip:
- Pure research papers unless directly applicable to engineers
- Funding announcements unless tied to a product
- General tech news that isn't AI-specific
Output location
Write to content/research/{YYYY-MM-DD}-ai-news.md in the configured working directory.
Commit
After writing the file:
- Branch:
agent/news-{YYYY-MM-DD} - Commit message:
News digest for {YYYY-MM-DD} - Push to origin
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.

ai-news-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository owainlewis/youtube-tutorials (385 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 428 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
