News Summary is a daily briefing skill that fetches and summarizes international news from trusted RSS feeds including BBC, Reuters, NPR, and Al Jazeera. It delivers concise text summaries organized by topic and region, with an optional voice narration feature powered by OpenAI text-to-speech.
Perfect for staying informed without doom-scrolling, this skill prioritizes balanced coverage from both Western and Global South perspectives.
The skill uses curl to fetch RSS XML feeds from trusted international sources, then parses headlines and descriptions using text processing tools. It condenses the top stories into a structured summary, prioritizing breaking news. For voice output, it sends the summary to the OpenAI TTS API to generate an MP3 file.
Install the skill — no dependencies or API keys are needed for text summaries. For voice narration, set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable. Ask for news updates, daily briefings, or what is happening in the world to trigger the skill.
