News Collection

Gather news items on a topic, filter junk cheaply, verify freshness, and emit qualified items under an evidence contract. Pipeline-shaped: four phases, a gate between each. Content pipelines consume the JSON artifact; pair with fact-check to verify what this skill qualifies.

Instructions

Phase 1: COLLECT

Goal: gather candidate items from available sources (feeds, search results, provided fixtures). Every item carries the five-fact evidence contract: title, url, outlet, author, published_at.
