What is Daily News Collector?
Daily News Collector is a sophisticated methodology designed to bridge the gap between vast information sources and actionable daily intelligence. By utilizing Openclaw Skills, this system automates the tedious process of searching, filtering, and formatting industry-specific news into a cohesive daily digest.
The core philosophy of this skill is the separation of collection and distribution. By executing a slow, deep-dive search early in the morning and a fast distribution shortly after, users receive fresh news that is typically less than an hour old. This ensures high relevance and immediate utility for developers, researchers, and tech professionals.
Daily News Collector Use Cases
- Setting up automated daily tech news digests for teams or personal use.
- Creating scheduled content delivery workflows for social media or newsletters.
- Building a centralized knowledge base of weekly industry trends and reports.
- Monitoring specific technical domains like AI, browser engines, or web standards.
How Daily News Collector Works
- Initialization: The system creates a weekly Markdown file to serve as a persistent cache for the collection cycle.
- Multi-Layered Collection: At 07:00, a cron job triggers a broad discovery phase via the Tavily API (80%) and a deep crawl of authoritative blogs via web_fetch (20%).
- Curation and Deduplication: The agent filters the top 10-15 stories, ensures no duplicate entries exist for the current date, and writes a formatted report to the weekly cache.
- Instant Distribution: At 08:00, a secondary cron job reads the cached report and pushes the content to the designated chat or notification channel.
- Analyst Insight Generation: The system synthesizes the gathered data to provide a high-level 'Analyst Insights' section, adding value beyond simple aggregation.
Daily News Collector Setup
To deploy this skill within your environment, follow these steps:
- Environment Configuration: Ensure you have a valid Tavily API key.
export TAVILY_API_KEY='your_api_key_here'
- Script Deployment: Save the provided
tavily-search.jsto your scripts directory and grant execution permissions.
chmod +x scripts/tavily-search.js
- Cron Scheduling: Set up two isolated agent turns to handle the collection and distribution logic.
# Collection at 7 AM
0 7 * * * openclaw run daily-news-collector --mode collect
# Distribution at 8 AM
0 8 * * * openclaw run daily-news-collector --mode distribute
