frontier-digest SKILL.md skillA
frontier-digest from chrono-meta/forge-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/frontier-digest@git:20261103.86a7a68Pins git:20261103.86a7a68 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Collects the latest AI/harness engineering trends from HackerNews, arxiv, launch channels (Launch YC, Product Hunt, Show HN), GeekNews and vendor changelogs, then synthesizes them into actionable insights directly relevant to forge-harness operations. Triggered by "AI trends", "latest trends", "this week's AI updates", "what's on the frontier", "harness trends", "frontier-digest".
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
# frontier-digest — FH Frontier Insight Collection & Synthesis > Automatically collects the latest AI/agent/harness engineering trends from HackerNews, arxiv, launch channels, GeekNews and vendor changelogs, > then compresses and synthesizes them into insights directly relevant to forge-harness skills and structure. ## Triggers ``` /frontier-digest # immediate execution /frontier-digest --save # save result to file "what's on the frontier" "this week's AI trends" "harness trends" "latest agent developments" "any ideas for improving the harness?" ``` --- ## Step 0. API Environment Detection This is the trend-scan specialization (rung 3) of the **Deep-Research Capability Ladder** (`../../../../knowledge/shared/harness-core/deep_research_capability_ladder.md`). The ladder owns the **cross-rung routing** (when a task is trend-scan at all vs general research); the `Priority:` block below is frontier-digest's own **internal engine resolution** for the HN/arxiv case (API-key vs WebSearch) — a narrower detection, not a re-definition of the cross-rung ladder. ``` Priority: 0. /deep-research built-in available (check live session skill list) …

How to install
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/frontier-digest@sha256:5fa2f1215e9f1dffThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.86a7a68, 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.
