What is News Digest?
News Digest is a powerful agent-driven workflow built for Openclaw Skills that automates the collection and distillation of digital information. By integrating multiple high-signal sources like Hacker News, Twitter, and Tavily Search, it ensures you stay informed without the noise. The skill is designed to be highly user-configurable, allowing for specific push slots throughout the day, each with its own unique topics, keywords, and filtering logic.
Beyond simple aggregation, this skill employs advanced AI summarization to turn long-form articles and social threads into actionable insights. It manages its own state, tracking API usage and learning from user feedback to continuously improve the relevance and quality of the content it delivers. Whether you need a morning finance brief or an evening tech update, News Digest adapts to your professional needs.
News Digest Use Cases
- Automated delivery of industry-specific morning reports to Telegram or Feishu.
- Tracking competitive intelligence by monitoring specific keywords across social media and search engines.
- Filtering high-signal technical content from Hacker News based on custom score thresholds.
- Creating a centralized, searchable archive of summarized news for long-term research and reference.
- Managing API consumption across multiple research tools with built-in usage forecasting.
How News Digest Works
- The agent initializes by reading the user-defined slot configuration, identifying active topics and keywords.
- It queries previous user feedback records to adjust summarization depth and filtering priorities for the current session.
- Content is fetched in parallel from Hacker News, Tavily Search, and Xpoz (Twitter) based on the configured sources.
- The system applies strict filtering rules, including time windows, influence scores, and keyword relevance.
- High-priority articles are processed for full-text extraction and summarized according to the user's preferred language and length.
- A structured digest is formatted and delivered through the Openclaw messaging interface.
- Every delivery event and associated API costs are logged to local storage for transparency and future optimization.
News Digest Setup
First, ensure your environment variables are set for TAVILY_API_KEY and optionally XPOZ_API_KEY. Then, initialize your configuration:
# Initialize with default slots (Finance, AI, General)
node scripts/manage-config.mjs init
# Or set up a custom slot manually
node scripts/manage-config.mjs set-slot \
--name tech-morning \
--time 08:30 \
--topic "Web3 and AI" \
--label "Tech Morning Brief" \
--keywords "ethereum,gpt-4,agents" \
--sources "twitter,tavily,hackernews"
# Verify the environment and config
node scripts/env-check.mjs
node scripts/manage-config.mjs show
To automate the push, add the cron-trigger.sh script to your system crontab.
News Digest Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill maintains a structured data directory for persistence and iterative learning:
| File/Directory | Purpose |

data/pushes/ |
Historical records of every sent digest in JSON format. |
data/usage/ |
Monthly JSON logs tracking API calls for Tavily, HN, and Xpoz. |
data/feedback/ |
User critiques and preferences used to tune the AI's behavior. |
scripts/ |
Contains the core logic for fetching, storing, and querying data. |
