How do I aggregate security news and research from multiple sources into a single digest?

Aggregating security news and research from multiple sources is done by combining headlines and summaries from top security blogs into a categorized markdown digest. The output includes ranked items with source attribution, capped at 32 entries.

Can I filter aggregated security updates by a specific time period?

Filtering aggregated security updates by a specific time period is supported through configurable period settings. The skill generates a digest of relevant security items published within that defined timeframe.

How does stateful tracking and deduplication work for security news aggregation?

Stateful tracking and deduplication for security news aggregation works by logging last-check timestamps and filtering out previously seen items. This ensures only new, distinct security updates appear in your digest.

What is the best way to automatically categorize security breaches, research findings, and ideas?

Automatically categorizing security breaches, research findings, and ideas is handled by sorting aggregated content into three distinct sections. The output provides separate markdown sections for Security News, Security Research, and Security Ideas.

Does the security digest output include source attribution for each item?

The security digest output includes source attribution for each item, citing reputable security blogs like Krebs on Security and Schneier on Security. You get a markdown list of ranked updates with their original sources clearly identified.

What are the limitations of using a capped 32-item markdown output for security aggregation?
