Version History

Fix SKILL.md: 65 sources, all env vars, 14 scripts, quality score display, article enrichment, Tavily/Brave multi-key, PDF email

What This Skill Does

Automated pipeline for collecting and summarizing media and entertainment industry news. Pulls from 65 sources across RSS feeds, Twitter/X accounts, Reddit communities, and web search, then merges and deduplicates into a structured digest. Outputs to Discord, email with PDF attachment, or raw JSON.

Aggregates 65 curated media-industry sources in parallel with deduplication and quality scoring, replacing manual checks across THR, Deadline, Variety, Reddit, and Twitter.

When to use it

  • Morning briefing on overnight Hollywood trade news
  • Tracking awards season buzz across Oscars, BAFTAs, and Emmys
  • Monitoring weekly box office results and opening weekend performance
  • Staying current on streaming platform announcements and viewership data
