RSS news aggregator. Fetches headlines from curated feeds across three categories: news, games, and finance. Use when the user asks about current news, headlines, what's happening, what's going on, or says "what's up in news", "what's up in finance", "what's up in games", or the German equivalents "was geht mit nachrichten", "was geht mit money", "was geht mit gaming". Also activates for requests like "give me a news rundown", "latest headlines", "market news", "gaming news", "tech news", "finance roundup", or "briefing". Returns structured JSON from public RSS feeds — no API keys, no web search needed.

Feeds

RSS news aggregator. Fetches all current entries from curated feeds across three categories — news, games, and finance. Concurrent fetching, streamed JSON output. No API key needed.

Constraint

Do NOT use web search, WebFetch, browser tools, or any other URL-fetching tool when this skill is active. The RSS feeds are the sole data source. Do not supplement, verify, or expand results with external searches. Do not fetch article URLs — summaries are already included in the output.

Categories

Detect the category from the user's message:
  • "news", "headlines", "nachrichten", "tech news" →
    news
  • "finance", "markets", "money", "stocks", "economy" →
    finance
  • "games", "gaming" →
    games

Feed lists are defined in scripts/lists.py.

How to Invoke

Run one invocation per category. Run multiple if the user asks for more than one.
bash
python3 scripts/feeds.py --category news
python3 scripts/feeds.py --category games
python3 scripts/feeds.py --category finance

Output Format

The script streams a JSON array. The first element is metadata, the rest are entries:
json

Presenting Results

After parsing the output, present a structured, concise rundown:
  1. Group by theme — cluster related stories under headings (e.g. "Tech & Industry", "Science", "Markets", "Crypto")
  2. Keep it tight — headline + one-line summary + source attribution per item
  3. Link to sources — use markdown links so the user can read more
  4. Deduplicate — if multiple feeds cover the same story, mention it once and note cross-source coverage
  5. Highlight big stories — if a story appears across 3+ sources, call it out prominently
Example output:
### Tech & Industry
- **[Headline](url)** — One-line summary *(Source)*
- **[Headline](url)** — One-line summary *(Source)*

### Science
- **[Headline](url)** — One-line summary *(Source)*

Edge Cases

  • Failed or timed-out feeds (15s timeout) are silently skipped — remaining feeds still return results.
  • If zero entries are returned, the script exits with
    {"error": "No entries found", "category": "..."}
    .
  • Some entries may lack summaries — they will still have title, URL, and source.
