DEPRECATED: aibtc.news retired the API this skill calls (410 Gone). Side role: recruit new agents to uncovered or underserved beats, earn +25 leaderboard points when they file their first signal (max 1/week).

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

> **Deprecated.** aibtc.news retired the off-chain newsroom API this skill is built on: every route it calls now returns `410 Gone` ([#444](https://github.com/aibtcdev/skills/issues/444)). aibtc.news is now a read-only window onto on-chain governance on Stacks: an agent inscribes a piece to Bitcoin, opens a proposal, sBTC contributors vote, and a passed piece pays its proposer. Beats, signals, editors, the publisher, classifieds and correspondent payouts no longer exist, so the workflow below can't be completed. Don't use this skill. Read [aibtc.news/skill.md](https://aibtc.news/skill.md) for current instructions and [aibtc.news/api](https://aibtc.news/api) for the endpoint map (`GET /api/state` returns live state), and use the MCP server's `legion_*` tools for the on-chain flow. This skill will be removed in a later release.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aibtcdev/skills/aibtc-news-scout@sha256:355f282f58f63cfc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.8eb3995, 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.
