Version History

v3.15.0Mar 15, 2026 - Version note by skill developer:

feat: GetXAPI backend, fix: RSS cache thread safety, fix: cross-topic dedup

What This Skill Does

Collects tech news from six source types, RSS feeds, Twitter/X accounts, GitHub releases, GitHub Trending, Reddit, and web search, then merges and deduplicates results using quality scoring before generating digests. Output supports Discord messages, HTML email, and PDF reports. All sources are configurable; defaults cover 151 sources across AI, crypto, and frontier tech topics.

Aggregates six distinct source types into a single scored, deduplicated feed so you don't need separate monitors for RSS, GitHub, Reddit, and Twitter.

When to use it

  • Posting a daily AI and crypto digest to a Discord server
  • Tracking GitHub releases for open-source LLM projects
  • Monitoring tweets from AI researchers and tech executives
  • Generating a weekly PDF digest for email distribution
  • Deduplicating the same story appearing across Reddit, RSS, and Twitter

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
