News Fetcher Skill

Use this skill when the user asks for the latest news, updates on a topic, or trending topics.

Workflow

Understand the user's topic of interest (e.g., "AI news", "technology", "sports").
Use the
```
read_url_content
```
tool to fetch RSS feeds (like news.ycombinator.com/rss) or news aggregator sites. If the site requires JavaScript, advise the user that the
```
agent-browser
```
skill might be more appropriate.
Parse the retrieved content. If it's XML/RSS, you can use
```
bash
```
tools (like
```
xmllint
```
,
```
grep
```
, or short python scripts) to extract titles and URLs.
Present the top 5-10 headlines with URLs to the user in a clean, markdown-formatted list.
