Frequently Asked Questions about daily-news-watcher

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track RSS feeds and generate a daily news digest without duplicating articles?▼

Track RSS feeds persistently by storing fetched articles in a local SQLite database. Deduplication across runs ensures only unique recent articles appear in the generated Markdown digest.

How do I monitor AI and tech news from multiple sources over time using a local store?▼

Monitor AI and tech news by registering named sources with a CLI. The tool fetches the latest 24 hours of content and uses a persistent local store to maintain tracking history across runs.

Can I use Playwright to fetch news content and filter results by topic and time?▼

Playwright fetches news content from registered sources. A CLI applies topic and time filters to the fetched articles, allowing you to narrow results before generating a per-run Markdown report.

What is the best way to deduplicate news articles across multiple fetch runs?▼

Deduplicate news articles by storing fetched items in a SQLite database under ~/.codex/state. This persistent store tracks seen articles across runs, preventing duplicates in the final Markdown digest.

Does this news watcher require manually setting up a database before fetching RSS feeds?▼

No manual database setup is required. The tool automatically initializes a SQLite database under ~/.codex/state/daily-news-watcher to persistently track sources and articles across runs.
