Generate a weekly news digest tailored to your context.

Process

1. Check RSS data

   • Look for Synced-Data/News/rss_digest.md
   • If it exists and was fetched within past 7 days, use it
   • If not, inform the user to run the RSS connector: python3 Scripts/connectors/News/fetch_rss.py (requires pip3 install feedparser). See Guidelines/data-sources.md for setup.

2. Supplement with web searches for:

   • "AI ML news this week"
   • "MLOps infrastructure news"
   • "Engineering leadership news"

3. Cross-reference against your context:

   • Current projects in Memory/memory-work.md
   • Strategic priorities in Memory/memory-context.md

Digest Structure

Create an HTML document with the following sections:

• Must Read: 3-4 items directly relevant to your work
• AI/ML Developments: 2-4 items on model releases, techniques, infrastructure
• Engineering Leadership: 2-4 items on org design, scaling teams, technical strategy
• Industry Moves: 2-4 items on company announcements, funding, acquisitions
• Worth Bookmarking: 2-4 items that are interesting but not urgent

Aim for 15-25 total items across all sections.

Output Format

Use the HTML template at Guidelines/news-digest-template.html as the base for all digests.

1. Read the template file first
2. Replace all {{PLACEHOLDERS}} with actual content
3. Write the completed HTML file directly using the Write tool
4. Do NOT generate the full HTML content in your response text

Template Placeholders:

• {{DATE}} - Short date format (e.g., "February 3, 2026")
• {{DATE_LONG}} - Long date format (e.g., "Week Ending February 3, 2026")
• {{SOURCE_COUNT}} - Number of source articles reviewed
• {{MUST_READ_ITEMS}}, {{AI_ML_ITEMS}}, {{LEADERSHIP_ITEMS}}, {{INDUSTRY_ITEMS}}, {{BOOKMARKS_ITEMS}} - HTML for each section

Item HTML format:

<div class="item">
    <h3><a href="URL" target="_blank">TITLE</a></h3>
    <p>SUMMARY (one sentence maximum)</p>
    <p class="relevance">RELEVANCE (concise phrase)</p>
</div>

Output

• Save to Curated-Context/Insights/YYYYMM/[YYYYMMDD]-news-digest.html (extract year/month from date for YYYYMM/ path; create subdirectory if needed)
• Add <!-- authorship: ai --> in the HTML head or comment block
• In your response, provide the file path: Curated-Context/Insights/YYYYMM/[YYYYMMDD]-news-digest.html
• Keep summaries to one sentence maximum; prioritise scannability
• Aim for 15-25 total items across all sections
