What This Skill Does
Fetches and aggregates news from German and international sources across three categories: general news, IT, and cybersecurity. Filters out unwanted topics using a configurable blacklist of keywords covering politics, sports, and unrelated content.
Combines multi-source aggregation with keyword filtering in a single command, avoiding the need to visit each news site individually or manually skip irrelevant headlines.
When to use it
- Morning briefing filtered to IT and security news only
- Quickly checking cybersecurity headlines without political noise
- Scanning local German news alongside tech sources in one command
- Filtering out recurring unwanted topics like sports results or job listings
- Reviewing a specific category during a focused work session
