Claude skill
A scheduled Claude cloud routine that delivers a breaking-news digest to your Claude app twice a day. The coverage windows only take fresh news, every story has an exact timestamp, and each one ends with a plain-language “what it means”.
📰 YOUR DAILY BRIEF: Weekday DD Mon YYYY, time BKK 🌎 GLOBAL 1. Headline (🕐 exact date + clock time BKK) 📰 Story: one short sentence that sums up the story 💡 What it means: 2 to 3 short sentences; the last one is our call on what happens next (source-domain.com) 💼 BUSINESS & MARKETS 📊 MARKET GLANCE (as of time BKK), always shown, even on a quiet day US STOCKS & RATES · CRYPTO · GOLD · FOREX · OIL · GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS LABEL: news headline (🕐 date + time BKK) 📰 Story: what is driving it, with the live level, the % move and the capture time 💡 What it means: 2 to 3 short sentences ending on our call 📈 BREAKING BUSINESS 1. Headline (🕐 date + time BKK), or an honest “nothing breaking in this window” 🤖 AI 1. Headline (🕐 date + time BKK) → Story / What it means / source 🇹🇭 THAILAND (or your own country) 1. Headline (🕐 date + time BKK) → Story / What it means / source
The output format, as the skill specifies it. Real runs fill these slots with sourced, timestamped stories.
This is an automation rather than a page. A scheduled Claude cloud routine researches and writes a breaking-news brief twice a day and posts it into your Claude app. It covers global news, a live market glance, AI, and a section for your own country.
The rules are what make it worth reading daily. Coverage windows are strict and never overlap, so no story appears twice. Every headline carries its exact publication time and its source. Market figures are fetched live rather than read out of a search snippet. And every story ends with a short, plain-language call on what happens next.
This is for people who want to stay current on a few specific beats without spending an hour a day getting there.
News automation is easy to build badly. Three failures show up in almost every version of it, and the brief is designed around avoiding them.
The download is the full specification of the brief: what it covers, how it’s written, and how to schedule it.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Fix the coverage window | Guarantee that nothing repeats and nothing is missed |
| Gather across four categories | Global, business and markets, AI, and your country |
| Verify every number live | Never trust a search snippet for a price |
| Timestamp and source everything | Make each claim checkable |
| Write the story and the takeaway | One sentence of what happened, then what it means |
| Keep it readable at speed | Short sentences and plain words, with jargon explained |
| Deliver on schedule | A cloud routine instead of your laptop |
The format is the product. Everything about it is chosen so a brief can be read properly in about two minutes.
It’s cloud-only by design, and the reason is worth knowing before you set it up.
Saving time is a side effect. The point is that staying current stops depending on discipline.
Worth knowing before you download it.
The structure of a delivered brief, taken directly from the skill’s own format specification.
| Header | The date and the exact delivery time, so you know which window you’re reading |
|---|---|
| 🌎 Global | Three to five breaking world stories, each timestamped and sourced |
| 💼 Market Glance | Six sub-sections (US stocks and rates, crypto, gold, forex, oil, and global equities), each with a live level, the move, and the capture time |
| 📈 Breaking Business | Business news when it’s breaking, and a note saying so when it isn’t |
| 🤖 AI | The top artificial-intelligence developments in the window |
| 🇹🇭 Your country | A local section: Thailand as shipped, changeable to anywhere |
| Per story | One-sentence summary, a two-to-three-sentence takeaway ending on a call, and the source domain |
This is for people who want to stay current on a few specific beats without spending an hour a day getting there. The “Who this skill is for” section above lists the three cases it fits best.
A Claude skill: the full method, plus the scripts and reference material it needs. It installs into your own Claude Code setup and runs there, so it never sends anything about your project to me. You can also take just the SKILL.md if you want to read the method before installing it.
Yes. The zip and the raw SKILL.md are both free downloads. You just need a free account so the downloads can be tracked.
No. It runs as a Claude cloud routine on a schedule and posts into the Claude app. The original local-Mac version was retired because a sleeping laptop couldn’t finish the run.
Yes, and you should. The shipped configuration targets Bangkok hours with a Thailand section. If you change the delivery times, change the coverage windows to match. They’re what keeps stories from repeating.
Every step in the sidebar and the overview table is part of how this skill runs. There are 7 of them, and the “Skill steps” panel beside the article describes each one. Expand any row to read what it does.
That’s the intended path. Nothing ships as is. I rebuild it around your brand, your copy, and your goals. Start a project and tell me what you’re building.
Daily News Brief ships as a Claude skill: one download with the whole method inside it. Install it, point Claude at it, and build.
