Sweeps a named list of news sources and blogs for items relevant to the user's role and delivers a dated digest as a Word document or an email draft, with 5 to 8 items, each carrying a one-line so-what, a source URL and a publication date. Use when the user asks for a news digest, a news sweep, a morning or weekly news flash, or to monitor Microsoft or industry news for their role.
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
## PURPOSE Replace a manual review of a long list of blogs and news sites with one repeatable sweep. Read the user's source list and role-relevance criteria from `references/sources.md`, sweep those sources in grouped Deep Research queries (5 to 8 sources per query, at most 24 sources per run), verify every item against a working source URL, and deliver a short digest (5 to 8 items, each with a one-line so-what for the user's role) as a dated Word document in OneDrive or as an email Draft to the user. If the source list exceeds the per-run cap, the digest states plainly which sources were not checked this run. Maintain a run log so consecutive digests do not repeat items. This skill composes the Deep Research, Enterprise Search, Word and Email built-in skills. It never duplicates them. ## WHEN TO RUN Run when the user says things like: - "Run my news digest" or "do my news sweep" - "What happened in Microsoft 365 news this week? Make me a digest" - "Draft me my daily news flash" - "Monitor my sources and send me what matters for my role" Do not run for a question about a single article or a single topic; that is a plain research request, not a monitoring sweep. …

How to install
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-cowork-skills/news-monitor-digest@sha256:f3a01fd250675252The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.a54c1ac, 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.
