pulse-template

pulse-template is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A daily news-digest workflow that gathers information from sources such as Twitter/X, RSS blogs, Reddit, arXiv, YouTube, and conferences, then selects items and emails the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create separate daily digests for different topics, search Reddit and YouTube by subject, and receive curated dark-themed HTML emails.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to check many websites and feeds yourself and can try several ways to retrieve a source when one method fails.

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

pulse-template 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (fetch_pulse.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Pulse - Daily Curated News Digest

A personalized daily news digest skill with resilient multi-tier fetching. Goes out, reads the internet for you, picks the best stuff, and emails you a curated digest.

Features

  • Multiple pulses — Separate digests for different topics
  • Multi-source — Twitter/X, RSS/Atom blogs, Reddit, arXiv, YouTube/conferences
  • Topic search — Searches Reddit and YouTube by topic (not just specific channels/subreddits)
  • Resilient fetch chain — 5-tier fallback so nothing blocks you
  • AI curation — Round-robin source diversity + engagement ranking
  • Email delivery — Dark-themed HTML emails

Resilient Fetch Chain

Every source tries multiple methods in order. If one fails, it automatically tries the next:

Tier 1: Native tool (bird CLI, RSS parser, Reddit API, arXiv API)
  ↓ fails
Tier 2: Web search (Brave Search API → DuckDuckGo HTML scrape)
  ↓ fails
Tier 3: curl / urllib with rotating user agents
  ↓ fails
Tier 4: Playwright headless browser (handles JS-heavy sites)
  ↓ fails
Tier 5: Chrome DevTools Protocol (connects to running Chrome instance)

Per-source fallback chains:

Source Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3
Twitter bird CLI Brave/DDG site:x.com search fxtwitter API
Blogs RSS/Atom fetch curl with rotating UA Playwright → CDP
Reddit Reddit JSON API (hot + search) Brave/DDG site:reddit.com
YouTube Channel RSS feeds Brave/DDG site:youtube.com
arXiv arXiv API curl fallback Playwright

Search fallback:

Brave Search API (needs free API key)
  ↓ no key or fails
DuckDuckGo HTML scrape (no key needed, always available)

Quick Start

  1. Edit config.json — your topics, sources, and delivery
  2. Optional: Set BRAVE_API_KEY env var for better search (free at brave.com/search/api)
  3. Optional: pip install playwright && playwright install chromium for Tier 4
  4. Test: python3 fetch_pulse.py my-digest --test
  5. Schedule via cron

Files

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.

Changes

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.

pulse-template is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai (5 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,412 tokens. 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.
