What it does

This is a skill for AI agents like Claude Code and OpenClaw that fetches a central daily feed of public content — X posts from 26 hand-picked AI builders, transcripts from six podcasts, and articles from official blogs such as Anthropic Engineering and Claude Blog — and remixes it into a summary delivered to your messaging app or in-chat. You configure it conversationally through your agent: pick daily or weekly delivery, language (English, Chinese, or bilingual), and summary length. No API keys are required because all content is scraped and fetched centrally; your agent pulls the pre-aggregated feed with a single HTTP request.

The interesting bit

The project treats prompt files as user-facing configuration. Instead of toggles or YAML, you tell your agent to “make summaries more concise” or “use a casual tone,” and it rewrites the plain-English instructions in files like summarize-tweets.md and digest-intro.md. The local component is essentially a prompt-driven client; the heavy lifting — scraping, transcript extraction, and API calls — happens server-side, which is an honest admission that curation, not plumbing, is the hard part.

Key highlights

  • Curated sources: 26 builders on X (including Andrej Karpathy, Swyx, and Sam Altman), six podcasts (Latent Space, No Priors, etc.), and two official company blogs
  • Runs as a conversational skill inside Claude Code or OpenClaw; setup and preference changes happen entirely through chat
  • No API keys needed for content fetching; the central feed handles scraping and daily updates
  • Customizable summarization style via plain-English markdown prompt files in the prompts/ folder
  • Bilingual support: English, Chinese, or mixed output

Caveats

  • The source list is curated and updated centrally; you cannot add your own builders or podcasts, and the README does not explain who maintains the feed or its uptime expectations

Verdict

Worth installing if you already live in Claude Code or OpenClaw and want a low-friction way to track AI discourse without opening X. Skip it if you prefer RSS, curate your own source lists, or are wary of opaque central feeds.
