Workflow

1. Search current news via web search for each active category

   • Focus on "today" / "last 24 hours"
   • Use location context for local news
   • Vary sources for perspective diversity

2. Filter & prioritize

   • Only genuinely current stories (today, maybe yesterday)
   • Mark breaking/significant news with 🔴
   • Skip categories if nothing noteworthy found

3. Output briefing

   • 2-4 stories per category
   • One-liner per story: what happened + source
   • Include links where available

4. Offer deep-dive

   • User can ask for details on any story
   • → Triggers news-summary skill or further search

Guidelines

• Be selective – quality over quantity, skip empty categories
• Stay neutral – present facts, note controversy where relevant
• Source diversity – mix perspectives, don't rely on single outlet
• Brevity – each story is 1-2 sentences max
• Recency – if it's not from today/yesterday, skip it unless major ongoing story
• Personalize – if user interests are known, lead with those topics

Error Handling

• If web search unavailable: inform user, suggest enabling it
• If no news found for category: skip silently or note briefly
• If user asks about specific topic not covered: search specifically for that

Connection to Other Skills

• Deep-dive on any story → news-summary skill
