Daily News Caster Skill

This skill allows the agent to fetch real-time news, organize it into a conversational podcast script, and generate an audio file reading the script out loud.

Workflow Instructions

When the user asks to get the latest news and make a podcast out of it, follow these steps strictly:

Step 1: Ensure Required Skills are Present

Verify that news-aggregator-skill and tts exist in the workspace (under skills/ or .cursor/skills/). If either is missing, inform the user which skill(s) are not found and ask them to install manually before proceeding. Do NOT attempt to install skills automatically.

Step 2: Fetch the Latest News

Locate fetch_news.py from the news-aggregator-skill skill directory (e.g., skills/news-aggregator-skill/scripts/fetch_news.py). Read its SKILL.md to understand usage if needed.

Run the script to fetch real-time news. You can specify a source (e.g., hackernews, github, all) or keywords based on the user's request. Example command:

python3 skills/news-aggregator-skill/scripts/fetch_news.py --source all --limit 10 --deep
