What is More News?
The More News skill is a specialized tool within the Openclaw Skills library designed to give users full control over their information stream. Instead of relying on generic algorithms, it allows an AI agent to parse a user-maintained list of sources to create a highly personalized news digest. By automating the extraction and summarization process, it ensures you stay updated on specific tech niches without manual browsing.
This skill is particularly effective for professionals who need to monitor specific competitors, industry blogs, or niche tech publications. It turns a static list of URLs into a dynamic, ranked intelligence report, making it a cornerstone for those building a custom information environment with Openclaw Skills.
More News Use Cases
- Creating a daily morning digest from a specific list of high-value AI research blogs.
- Tracking product launches across multiple tech news outlets simultaneously.
- Consolidating fragmented news sources into a single, chronologically ranked report.
- Automating the monitoring of niche publications that lack a unified feed.
How More News Works
- The agent reads the source.md file located in the workspace to identify target URLs.
- It executes parallel web fetching operations to gather content from up to five sources at once.
- The system filters all gathered content to include only articles published within the last 24 hours.
- Articles are summarized into concise paragraphs and ranked from newest to oldest.
- The skill generates a final markdown report including a metrics table that tracks successful and skipped sources.
More News Setup
To integrate this into your collection of Openclaw Skills, you must define your sources first:
- Create a directory at
workspace/skills/more-news/if it doesn't exist. - Create a file named
source.mdand define your sources in a markdown table:
| # | Source | URL | Type/Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TechCrunch AI | https://techcrunch.com/category/artificial-intelligence/ | News |
- Trigger the skill by asking the agent to 'aggregate news from my sources' or 'run more-news'.
More News Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages data through a simple markdown-based input and a structured report output:
| Component | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| source.md | Input File | A markdown table containing Source Name, URL, and Category. |
| News Report | Output Markdown | A ranked list of headlines, summaries, and source links. |
| Summary Table | Metadata | A count of stories found, sources fetched, and sources skipped. |
More News Advanced Features
- Parallel processing for faster retrieval across large source lists.
- Intelligent de-duplication to prevent the same story from appearing multiple times if reported by different outlets.
- Graceful error handling that identifies and reports blocked, stale, or navigation-only URLs.
- Automatic fallback to global web search if the primary custom sources are unavailable.
