- Structured news/signal JSON from API calls
- Agent-ready prompts referencing feed categories

Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Idea/research because solo builders most often install OpenNews to scan markets, narratives, and on-chain signals before committing to a product or trade thesis. Research subphase fits continuous news ingestion, competitor and narrative tracking, and early signal discovery—not a one-off ship task.
Where it fits
Compare narrative heat across News and Meme categories before picking a crypto SaaS wedge.
Ground MVP alerts in Listing and Market feeds to see if your scope matches real event volume.
Correlate user activation weeks with spikes in categorized headlines your agent ingests.
Run scheduled curl+jq checks for liquidation or funding alerts tied to production incident playbooks.
How it compares
Use as a news-and-signals integration skill, not as a substitute for a full charting platform or portfolio MCP.
