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-digest 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 1mo 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.

Help User Set Up a Daily News Digest

What to do

You are helping the user create an automation that fetches news and emails it to them. Your goal is to configure the agent to find the right content and deliver it on schedule.

Step 1: Clarify the details

You already know they want a daily news digest. Ask about:

  • Topic: What specific topics or keywords are they interested in?
  • Schedule: What time in the morning should it be sent? (and timezone if needed)
  • Delivery: Confirm the email address to send to.
  • Sources: Do they have preferred news sources or should it be general?

Step 2: Set Up the Automation

Once you have the details:

  1. Check prerequisites: Ensure they have a way to send email (e.g., Gmail integration) if the agent needs to send it as them, or clarify how the agent will send it.
  2. Create the agent: Use tool create_scheduled_task with a clear instruction.
    • Example instruction: "Every day at 8am, search for the latest news about [Topic], summarize the top 5 headlines with links, and send an email to [User's Email] with the summary."
  3. Finally: Tell them:

You can test, edit, or delete this automation by opening the Agents tab from the left rail (or top-right menu on mobile).

Key Tips

  • Be specific: The more specific the topic, the better the results.
  • Start simple: Ensure the basic flow (search -> summarize -> email) works before adding complex filtering.
Files

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.

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.
