daily-news-digests — Build and maintain local scheduled news/research digest scripts that collect fresh items from multiple public sources and save Markdown locally.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Daily News Digests

Use this skill when the user asks for a recurring local news/research monitor that pulls fresh items from X/Twitter, GitHub, Reddit, Hacker News, RSS, release notes, forums, or other public sources and saves a Markdown digest locally.

The deliverable is a working collector plus verified scheduling, not a suggestion list.

## Default outcome

Create:

1. A deterministic script under `~/scripts/` or an explicitly requested project folder.
2. A dated Markdown output directory under the relevant vault area.
3. A `latest.md` copy for quick viewing.
4. A scheduler:
 - macOS local/background: `launchd` LaunchAgent.
 - Hermes/gateway-delivered work: Hermes cron only when delivery or LLM reasoning is needed.
5. A verified test run with real output, logs, and exit status.

## Source selection pattern

Prefer primary or near-primary feeds before broad web search:

1. Official GitHub repo:
 - releases
 - issues
 - pull requests
 - commits
 - GitHub search
 - Atom feeds for releases/commits
2. Official docs/blog/release notes RSS or sitemap if available.
3. X/Twitter via `xurl` when installed and authenticated.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add atlasomnia/hermes-custom-pack/daily-news-digests@sha256:a998a265e89ac04e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
