## Instructions
This skill allows you to retrieve and summarize the top stories from Hacker News.
**Process:**
1. **Access Hacker News API:** Utilize the Hacker News API (https://news.ycombinator.com/); specifically, the endpoint for top stories (`https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/topstories.json`). Assume the API returns a JSON array of story IDs.
2. **Fetch Story Details:** For the top 5 story IDs retrieved in the previous step, fetch the full details from the corresponding API endpoint (`https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/{story_id}.json`).
3. **Extract Relevant Information:** For each story, extract the following:
* `title`: The title of the story.
* `url`: The URL of the story.
* `score`: The story's score.
* `num_comments`: The number of comments on the story.
4. **Summarize and Present:** Present the information in a clear, concise format. For each story, output:
* The title.
* A brief summary (first 100 characters of the `text` field if available, otherwise use the title).
* The URL.
* The score.
* The number of comments.
**Output Format:**
Top Hacker News Stories:
-
Title: [Story Title] Summary: [Brief Summary] URL: [Story URL] Score: [Story Score] Comments: [Number of Comments]
-
Title: [Story Title] Summary: [Brief Summary] URL: [Story URL] Score: [Story Score] Comments: [Number of Comments]
... (repeat for top 5 stories)
**Error Handling:**
* If the Hacker News API is unavailable, report an error: "Unable to retrieve Hacker News top stories."
* If a story detail cannot be fetched, skip that story and continue with the next.
* If the API returns an unexpected format, report an error: "Unexpected data format from Hacker News API."
