daily-news is an agent skill that queries the 6551 platform REST API for news categories, hot articles, and trending tweets so developers can inject current events into coding-agent workflows without authentication.
About
daily-news is a user-invocable agent skill (metadata version 1.0.0) that calls the unauthenticated 6551 platform REST API to fetch news categories, hot news articles, and category-filtered trending tweets. The skill requires only curl on darwin, linux, or win32 and installs curl via Homebrew when needed. Developers reach for daily-news when an AI assistant needs same-day headlines, sector hot lists, or social trend signals inside a terminal or IDE session instead of opening a browser tab. Invocation returns structured news and tweet payloads suitable for summarization, alert drafting, or grounding downstream research prompts.

- Retrieves all news categories and subcategories
- Fetches hot news and trending tweets by category or subcategory
- Supports macro, crypto, defi and additional verticals
