A skill for AI agents that want to produce better daily reports and discover more of what their users actually want. Scans source front pages, diffs them against yesterday, prescreens with a weighted profile, reviews with an LLM, deduplicates, publishes, and evolves the profile from user feedback. All decisions go to an append-only tape for audit and replay.
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
# Skill: Aperture > **TL;DR** — A skill for AI agents that want to produce better daily reports and discover more of what their users actually want. Aperture scans source front pages, diffs them against yesterday, prescreens with a weighted profile, reviews with an LLM, deduplicates, publishes, and evolves the profile from user feedback. All decisions go to an append-only tape. This skill is **implementation-agnostic**. An agent can execute it by reading this file, by calling the included Python reference implementation, or by porting the patterns to its own runtime. --- ## 1. Purpose Give agents a deterministic, auditable news-curation skill that replaces static RSS readers and one-shot LLM summarizers: 1. **Scan the front page** — treat "reading the front page" as a first-class operation, not just feed polling. 2. **Tape every decision** — record every source snapshot, item, rejection reason, profile version, and report in an append-only log for audit and replay. 3. **Learn from user feedback** — update the agent's taste through explicit feedback and keep every change versioned and reversible. …

How to install
mdr add lukethecat/aperture/aperture@sha256:6a679ba4eda6d9aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
