SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Engineering blogs from AI labs publish far too much to read manually, and only a handful of posts per week actually explain how autonomous agents work. This Skill monitors 15 sources (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, LangChain, Amp, Cognition, DeepMind and others), filters out product announcements and model releases, and delivers a digest of fundamental posts on agent memory, long-running loops, orchestration, run economics, and evals. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deterministic collection: A stdlib-only Python script scrapes RSS feeds and HTML indexes over a date window (default: last full week), deduplicates URLs, and enriches titles and dates via JSON-LD metadata. - Rubric-based triage: A written relevance rubric with three buckets and a 4-axis scoring matrix separates fundamental architecture posts from feature announcements, with a canon of landmark publications for novelty assessment. - Structured digest output: Produces a Markdown report with a top-3 must-read section including a "what to take away" line per post, a worth-a-glance list, rejection counts, and explicit reporting of silent or failed sources. - Use Case: Ask for a weekly digest of agent research; the Skill collects candidates, reads the shortlist, and writes a report file you can archive or forward to Telegram. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the radar and show what fundamental posts about AI agents came out in the blogs last week.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a weekly digest of AI agent research blog posts?

Ask for a radar run or weekly digest; the Skill computes the last full Monday-to-Sunday window, runs the collector script across 15 sources, triages candidates by a relevance rubric, reads the shortlist, and writes a Markdown digest with a top-3 and takeaways.

How does the collector handle blogs without RSS feeds?

Most target blogs lack RSS, so the collector parses HTML index pages, extracts post links with per-source regex patterns, attaches nearby dates, then fetches each post page to read exact titles and dates from JSON-LD, og:title, and article:published_time metadata.

Can I collect posts from a custom date range or specific blogs?

Yes. The collector accepts --since and --until flags for arbitrary windows, --tier to limit source tiers, and --source with comma-separated IDs for targeted collection from one or two blogs.

Does the radar remember which posts it already showed me?

No. The Skill is stateless between runs: the same window always yields the same candidates and digest. Deduplication happens only within a single run via URL canonicalization, so repeats across weeks are expected behavior.

Why does fetching openai.com index pages fail?

openai.com/index pages sit behind a Cloudflare JavaScript wall, so plain HTTP fetches and curl receive a stub page. The documented workaround is a browser panel flow: open a preview, wait about five seconds, then extract the page text.

What counts as a fundamental post versus a feature announcement?

Fundamental posts explain agent mechanics with transferable lessons: memory and context, long-running loops, verification, orchestration, run economics, evals, and long-horizon risks. Model releases, pricing, customer cases without mechanics, hiring, and partnerships are rejected by the rubric.
