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 5.1 | $0.00073 | $0.02090 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01045 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00418 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00209 |
Grade A, and why
syft-daily-briefing 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Syft Daily Briefing
Use this skill when the user wants a daily briefing generated directly from Syft CLI plus the agent's own model.
Inputs
Prefer to have these available first:
profiles/following_topics.mdprofiles/profile_summary.md- optional
profiles/user_guidance_rulebook.mdor another confirmed guidance file - optional
profiles/raw_interest_block.txtif the profile skill generated a heuristic interest map - optional explicit aversion notes if the user has provided them later
If they do not exist yet, suggest running syft-profile-summary first.
What this skill produces
Create:
briefings/daily_briefing_<date>.mdbriefings/coverage_watchlist_<date>.md- optionally
briefings/raw_news_pool_<date>.md - optionally
briefings/aggregated_news_pool_<date>.md - optionally
briefings/editorial_notes_<date>.md
Workflow
-
Check Syft availability. Run
syft status. -
Read following topics with ids. Run
syft following. Preserve both:- the topic title
- the topic id
Topic ids matter because they are the bridge from a user's declared interest list to
syft top --topic-id. -
Pull a first-pass global pool. Start with:
syft top --days <N> --limit <M> --rich
-
Do pool triage before writing anything. Split results into:
keep: structurally important or clearly high-matchmaybe: potentially useful but not yet cleardiscard: promo, coupon, generic shopping, shallow affiliate content, obvious noise
-
Normalize multilingual titles before selection. If titles are in multiple languages, first translate or paraphrase them into one working language for your own reasoning. Do not let language fragmentation hide a strong event cluster.
-
Build an event-level pool, not an article pile. Merge duplicates when they describe the same event, actor move, or causal development. Preserve factual anchors during the merge.
-
Build an interest coverage map before final selection. Use
following_topics.mdplusprofile_summary.mdto list:- main structural axes
- identity-defining hobby / culture axes
- thin but still important side interests
What ships with it
3 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.

syft-daily-briefing is a skill published in the GitHub repository Solatrader/syft-news-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 2,090 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
