daily-news

daily-news is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ZhanlinCui/Agent-Skills-Hunter. It costs 64 tokens per session (3,953 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A daily-news workflow that collects items from configured sources, creates summaries, and writes a dated digest. It uses a profile, settings, source methods, and a local SQLite database to track collected news.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize a news workspace, configure interests and output preferences, add sources, fetch recent or incremental news, and generate a daily Markdown report.
Why use it?
It removes the repeated work of gathering news and keeping track of what has already been fetched. Date-range and per-source tracking help limit collection to the period you want.

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

daily-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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (references/methods/rss.py, references/website-template/build.py, scripts/db.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.

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.

Daily News

三阶段工作流:获取元数据生成摘要输出日报

工作目录

首次运行询问工作目录路径(如 ~/daily-news),后续记住。

<workspace>/
├── profile.yaml          # 用户画像(关于我、关注什么)
├── settings.yaml         # 日报设置(语言、格式偏好)
├── methods/              # 信源获取方法
├── data/news.db          # SQLite 数据库
└── output/YYYY-MM-DD.md  # 日报输出

初始化:

mkdir -p <workspace>/methods <workspace>/data <workspace>/output
cp references/examples/settings.example.yaml <workspace>/settings.yaml
cp references/examples/profile.example.yaml <workspace>/profile.yaml
python3 scripts/db.py init --db <workspace>/data/news.db

初始化完成后:

  1. 将工作目录写入用户的 ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md,追加一行:
    - daily-news skill 的项目目录在:<workspace>
    
    这样后续新会话无需再询问目录位置。
  2. 询问用户是否需要调整画像。

阶段 0:选择抓取日期范围(新增)

在执行抓取前,询问用户日期范围,从源头减少非必要工作量。

日期范围选项

请选择抓取时间范围:
1. 今天(默认)                    → published_at >= 今天
2. 昨天                            → published_at >= 昨天
3. 最近3天                         → published_at >= 3天前
4. 最近7天                         → published_at >= 7天前
5. 从上次抓取至今(增量)          → published_at >= last_fetched_date
6. 自定义日期范围                  → 输入开始日期

增量抓取逻辑

每个信源独立追踪抓取日期

# methods/twitter-karpathy.yaml
source_id: twitter-karpathy
...

# 自动维护的元数据
last_fetched_date: "2026-01-27"    # 上次抓取日期
last_fetched_count: 5               # 上次抓取数量
total_items_fetched: 127            # 累计总数

数据库记录

  • source_status 表:快速查询上次抓取日期
  • source_sync_log 表:详细同步日志

日期筛选执行流程

# 1. 获取上次抓取日期
python3 scripts/db.py source-status --db <db> --source <source_id>

# 2. 执行增量抓取
# 在 method 执行时传入 since 参数

# 3. 记录同步日志
python3 scripts/db.py add-items-incremental \
  --db <db> \
  --source <source_id> \
  --items '<json>' \
  --since "2026-01-27"

阶段 1:获取元数据(增量优化)

遍历 <workspace>/methods/ 目录,执行每个 method 文件。

增量抓取检查

对每个 method,执行前检查:

# 1. 读取 method 文件中的 last_fetched_date
python3 -c "
import yaml
with open('methods/<source>.yaml') as f:
    config = yaml.safe_load(f)
print(config.get('last_fetched_date', 'never'))
"

# 2. 或查询数据库
python3 scripts/db.py source-status --db <db> --source <source_id>

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.
