Tech Weekly Briefing Skill

Generate comprehensive weekly tech news briefings from major English-language technology media sources with structured format and interactive navigation.

Core Principle

Data Integrity First: Never fabricate data. All market data and news must be fetched from actual sources before generating reports.

Media Sources

Primary Sources (Active)

Secondary Sources (Configured, To Verify)

Data Collection Workflow

Step 1: Daily Data Fetch (Every Day at 00:00)

Command:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/skills/tech-weekly-briefing && python3 scripts/generate-briefing.py daily

What it does:

1. Fetches RSS feeds from all 6 primary sources
2. Filters low-quality content (promotions, sports, lifestyle)
3. Deduplicates articles by title/URL similarity
4. Saves to data/articles_YYYY-MM-DD.json

Cron Setup:

# Add to crontab
crontab -e

# Add this line for daily fetch at 00:00:
0 0 * * * cd ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/skills/tech-weekly-briefing && python3 scripts/generate-briefing.py daily >> /tmp/tech-weekly-cron.log 2>&1

Step 2: Weekly Report Generation (Every Saturday 09:00)

Command:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/skills/tech-weekly-briefing && python3 scripts/generate-briefing.py weekly

What it does:

1. Loads articles from past 7 days
2. Aggregates similar stories across sources
3. Identifies hot news (≥2 media coverage)
4. Categorizes by company mentions
5. Generates formatted report
6. Saves to /tmp/tech-weekly-briefing-YYYYMMDD.txt

Cron Setup:

# Every Saturday at 09:00 Beijing Time
0 9 * * 6 cd ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/skills/tech-weekly-briefing && python3 scripts/generate-briefing.py weekly >> /tmp/tech-weekly-cron.log 2>&1

Content Validation Rules

Rule 1: No Fabricated Data

MUST:

• Execute fetch commands before generating reports
• Use actual fetched data only
• Mark missing data as [获取失败] if command fails

NEVER:

• Fill in prices/percentages without executing commands
• Use cached data as real-time without timestamp
• Guess or estimate any numeric values

Rule 2: Accurate Source Attribution

MUST:

• Every news item must have source link(s)
• Multi-source stories must list ALL sources
• Use actual URLs from RSS, not generated links

Rule 3: Deduplication

Algorithm:

1. Jaccard similarity ≥ 18% on title keywords
2. OR exact 3+ consecutive word match
3. Remove duplicates, keep earliest published

Rule 4: Low-Quality Filtering

Filtered Content:

• Sports: "baseball game", "championship", "tournament"
• Promotions: "promo code", "% off", "coupon", "discount"
• Shopping: "mattress firm", "kitchenaid promo", "norton coupon"
• Lifestyle: "bird-watchers", "brew coffee", "sleep week deals"

Logged: All filtered items printed during daily fetch

Manual Operations

Check Data Collection Status

# View today's collected articles
ls -la ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/skills/tech-weekly-briefing/data/

# Check article count
python3 -c "import json; data=json.load(open('data/articles_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).json')); print(f'{len(data)} articles today')"

Verify Media Source

# Test RSS accessibility
curl -s "https://techcrunch.com/feed/" | head -5
curl -s -A "Mozilla/5.0" "https://www.theinformation.com/feed" | head -5

Force Re-fetch Today

rm ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/skills/tech-weekly-briefing/data/articles_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).json
python3 scripts/generate-briefing.py daily

Generate Test Report

# Use existing data to generate report
python3 scripts/generate-briefing.py weekly

# View output
cat /tmp/tech-weekly-briefing-$(date +%Y%m%d).txt

Troubleshooting

The Information Returns 403

Cause: Python urllib blocked, curl works Solution: Script automatically uses curl subprocess for The Information Verify:

curl -s -A "Mozilla/5.0" "https://www.theinformation.com/feed" | head -10

No Articles Found

Check:

1. Data directory: ls data/
2. Last fetch: cat /tmp/tech-weekly-cron.log
3. RSS status: blogwatcher blogs

Duplicate Articles in Report

Cause: Similarity threshold too low or high Adjust: Edit is_same_news() function in generate-briefing.py

Missing Company in Buttons

Add Company:

1. Edit COMPANY_KEYWORDS in generate-briefing.py
2. Re-run weekly report generation
