Professional News Aggregation and Layout

The Daily Newspaper skill transforms your AI agent into a sophisticated digital newsroom. It solves the problem of "information overload" by curating, verifying, and formatting the day's most important stories into a beautiful, printable HTML newspaper. Unlike generic web searches that return a list of links, this skill performs deep research across world, national, and local news to produce a cohesive, self-contained publication.

What it Does

This skill follows a rigorous editorial process to fetch real-time news, verify timestamps, and rewrite stories in a neutral, "inverted pyramid" journalistic style. It automatically handles complex layout logic, including front-page selection, importance scoring, and print-aware CSS pagination.

• Fact-Driven Curation: Rejects fabricated news and prioritizes reputable sources and primary reporting.
• Automated Layout: Generates responsive, multi-column HTML with serif typography and print-friendly page breaks.
• Configurable Focus: Tailor the news coverage by setting specific cities, states, and topics like finance, technology, or sports.
• Self-Contained Output: Produces a single HTML file with no external dependencies, perfect for reading on tablets or printing.

Why it's Better than Raw Prompting

Prompting an AI to "summarize the news" often leads to hallucinations, stale data, or messy formatting. This skill provides a structured framework for importance scoring, deduplication across sections, and strict adherence to editorial standards, ensuring your daily brief is both accurate and professional.
