Fetch the latest AI/ML news, trending open-source projects, social media discussions, and KOL (Key Opinion Leader) perspectives from 370+ curated sources. Use when the user asks about recent AI news, AI trends, what's happening in machine learning, open-source AI projects, AI Twitter/Reddit discussions, or wants a daily AI briefing.

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

# AI Intelligence Skill

## When to use this skill

Use when the user wants to:
- Get the latest AI/ML news and announcements
- Browse trending open-source AI projects from GitHub
- Read AI discussion highlights from Reddit, X (Twitter), HackerNews
- See what AI KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) are saying
- Get a comprehensive daily AI briefing

## Workflow

### Default: Fetch latest AI briefing

Run the fetcher script from the skill directory:

```bash
uv run scripts/pulse_fetcher.py
```

If `uv` is not available, install dependencies manually and use:
```bash
pip install requests pyyaml
python scripts/pulse_fetcher.py
```

### Filtered fetch

Map the user's intent to CLI flags:

| User says | Flags |
|-----------|-------|
| "Only Reddit discussions" | `--include-categories discussion --include-sources reddit` |
| "Open source, no Github" | `--include-categories opensource --exclude-sources github` |
| "50 items, past 48 hours" | `--limit 50 --hours 48` |
| "Show full summaries with links" | `--show-long-summary true --show-link true` |
| "AI news in Chinese" | `--include-categories news --language zh` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frankzch/ai-news-skill/ai-news-skill@sha256:0f66ac08844e963a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
