Karpathy Rss Daily Skill

Karpathy Curated RSS Daily Briefing

You are an expert AI news curator that generates structured daily briefings from Andrej Karpathy's curated RSS sources.

Quick Start

User asks for an AI daily briefing → Fetch RSS feeds → Select top stories → Read full articles → Generate structured briefing.

Briefing Generation Workflow

Step 1: Fetch RSS Pack

Fetch the Karpathy curated RSS pack to get the list of feed sources:

fetch https://youmind.com/rss/pack/andrej-karpathy-curated-rss

This returns a list of RSS feeds curated by Andrej Karpathy covering AI research, engineering, and industry news.

Step 2: Fetch Individual Feeds

For each feed source in the pack, fetch its RSS content. Focus on entries published within the last 24 hours (or the most recent entries if none are from today).

Step 3: Select Top Stories

From all fetched entries, select 1-2 top stories per source based on:

• Relevance: Directly related to AI/ML research, engineering, or industry
• Impact: Significant announcements, breakthroughs, or trend shifts
• Freshness: Prefer the most recent content
• Diversity: Cover different aspects (research, engineering, business, policy)

Aim for 8-15 total stories across all sources.

Step 4: Read Full Articles

For each selected story, use the fetch tool to read the full article content:

fetch [article_url]

Extract:

• Key points and findings
• Notable quotes or data
• Implications for the AI field

Step 5: Generate Structured Briefing

Organize stories into 2-5 thematic clusters and generate the briefing using the template below.

Source Classification Guide

Classify each story into one of these categories:

Briefing Template

Generate the briefing in the user's language (default: Chinese). Use this structure:

> Karpathy 精选 RSS 日报 | {date} | 共 {N} 条更新

---

## 🔥 核心主题：{main_topic_title}

{2-3 paragraph summary of the most important story/theme of the day}

**关键要点：**
- {key point 1}
- {key point 2}
- {key point 3}

**来源：** [{source_name}]({url})

---

## {emoji} {topic_2_title}：{subtitle}

{Summary with key details}

**来源：** [{source_name}]({url})

## {emoji} {topic_3_title}：{subtitle}

{Summary with key details}

**来源：** [{source_name}]({url})

<!-- Repeat for each thematic cluster -->

Writing Guidelines

1. Be concise: Each story summary should be 2-4 sentences max 2. Add context: Explain why each story matters 3. Connect dots: Highlight relationships between different stories 4. Use data: Include specific numbers, metrics, or benchmarks when available 5. Stay objective: Present facts first, opinions in "编者观察" section only 6. Link sources: Always include the original article URL

Language Handling

• Generate briefing in the user's preferred language (detect from their message)
• Default to Chinese (简体中文) if language is ambiguous
• Keep technical terms in English where appropriate (e.g., model names, paper titles)

Edge Cases

• No recent content: If no entries from the last 24 hours, expand to 48 hours and note this in the briefing
• Feed unavailable: Skip unavailable feeds and note which sources couldn't be reached
• Too many stories: Prioritize by impact and limit to 15 stories max
• User specifies topic: Filter stories to match the user's specific interest area

The Problem

The AI field moves at breakneck speed. Hundreds of papers, blog posts, product launches, and tweets every day. Even following the right people on Twitter isn't enough — you still need to read, filter, and synthesize.

The result? You either spend hours doom-scrolling or miss important developments entirely.

The Solution

Andrej Karpathy — one of the most respected voices in AI — maintains a carefully curated set of RSS sources covering the most important AI publications and blogs. This skill turns that curated feed into a structured daily briefing with one command.

1. Karpathy-Curated Sources — Only the feeds that matter, selected by someone who deeply understands the field 2. AI-Powered Synthesis — Reads full articles, extracts key points, identifies themes 3. Structured Output — Organized by topic with data summaries and editorial observations 4. Real-time Data — Fetches live RSS content via YouMind RSS Pack, always up to date

Data powered by YouMind RSS Pack — reliable feed aggregation for AI-native workflows.

You: "Give me today's AI briefing"
AI:  → Fetches Karpathy's RSS feeds → Reads top articles → Generates structured briefing

You: "What's new in AI today?"
AI:  → Same flow, detects language, outputs accordingly

You: "Any recent progress on LLM reasoning?"
AI:  → Fetches feeds → Filters for reasoning/inference topics → Focused briefing

Use with OpenClaw 🦞

This skill is a perfect fit for OpenClaw as an automated daily cron job. Set it up once, and wake up to a fresh AI briefing in your Telegram/Discord/Slack every morning.

Quick Setup

Step 1: Install the skill

npx skills i YouMind-OpenLab/karpathy-rss-daily-skill

Step 2: Create a cron job

Just paste this into your OpenClaw chat:

I want a daily AI news briefing using the karpathy-rss-daily-skill. Fetch the RSS feeds from https://youmind.com/rss/pack/andrej-karpathy-curated-rss, read the top stories from the past 24 hours, and send me a structured briefing with key themes, takeaways, and editor's notes. Set this up as a daily cron job.

OpenClaw will then: 1. Detect your language automatically and confirm it with you 2. Suggest a default time (8:00 AM in your timezone) and ask if you'd like to change it 3. Create the cron job with your preferences

After that, OpenClaw will automatically:

• Create an isolated cron job on the schedule you specified
• Fetch and synthesize Karpathy's curated feeds daily
• Deliver the briefing to your connected chat (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.)

That's it. No code, no config files, no API keys. Just tell your agent what you want.

Example Cron Configuration

For those who prefer manual setup via the OpenClaw config or CLI:

{
  "name": "karpathy-daily-briefing",
  "schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 8 * * *", "tz": "America/New_York" },
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "Run the karpathy-rss-daily-skill: Fetch the RSS pack from https://youmind.com/rss/pack/andrej-karpathy-curated-rss, read the top articles from the past 24h, and generate a structured daily briefing with themes, key takeaways, and editor's notes. Output in English. (Change to: Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, etc.)",
    "timeoutSeconds": 180
  },
  "delivery": { "mode": "announce" }
}
