It provides real-time news scanning with filtering by coin, category, time window, and relevance scoring. **Key Capabilities:** - Multi-source aggregation from top crypto news sites - Coin-specific filtering (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.) - Category filtering (DeFi, NFT, regulatory, exchange, etc.) - Relevance scoring with market-moving keyword detection - Multiple output formats (table, JSON, CSV) ## Prerequisites Before using this skill, ensure: 1. **Python 3.8+** is installed 2. **feedparser** library is available: `pip install feedparser` 3. **requests** library is available: `pip install requests` 4. Internet connectivity for RSS feed access ## Instructions ### Step 1: Assess User Intent Determine what the user is looking for: - **General news**: No specific filters, use defaults - **Coin-specific**: Extract coin symbol (BTC, ETH, etc.) - **Category-specific**: Extract category (defi, nft, regulatory, etc.) - **Time-specific**: Extract time window (1h, 4h, 24h, 7d) ### Step 2: Execute News Aggregation Run the news aggregator with appropriate filters: ```bash # Default scan (top 20, past 24h, relevance sorted) python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py # Coin-specific scan python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin BTC --period 4h # Category filter python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --category defi --top 30 # Export to JSON python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --format json --output news.json # Multiple filters python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin ETH --category defi --period 24h --top 15 ``` ### Step 3: Present Results Format and present the news to the user: - Show source, title, age, and relevance score - Highlight market-moving keywords if present - Provide links for full articles - Summarize meta information (sources checked, articles found) ### Command-Line Options | Option | Description | Default | |--------|-------------|---------| | `--coin` | Filter by coin symbol (BTC, ETH, etc.) | None | | `--coins` | Filter by multiple coins (comma-separated) | None | | `--category` | Filter by category | None | | `--period` | Time window (1h, 4h, 24h, 7d) | 24h | | `--top` | Number of results to return | 20 | | `--min-score` | Minimum relevance score | 0 | | `--format` | Output format (table, json, csv) | table | | `--output` | Output file path | stdout | | `--sort-by` | Sort by (relevance, recency) | relevance | | `--verbose` | Enable verbose output | false | ### Categories Available - `market`: General market news, price movements - `defi`: DeFi protocols, yield farming, DEXes - `nft`: NFT projects, marketplaces, collections - `regulatory`: Government, SEC, legal developments - `layer1`: L1 blockchain news (Ethereum, Solana, etc.) - `layer2`: L2 scaling solutions (Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.) - `exchange`: Exchange news, listings, delistings - `security`: Hacks, exploits, vulnerabilities ## Output ### Table Format (Default) ``` ============================================================================== CRYPTO NEWS AGGREGATOR Updated: 2026-01-14 15:30 ============================================================================== TOP CRYPTO NEWS (24h) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rank Source Title Age Score ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 CoinDesk Bitcoin Breaks $100K ATH 2h 95.0 2 The Block SEC Approves ETH ETF 4h 92.5 3 Decrypt Solana DeFi TVL Surges 6h 78.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary: 20 articles shown | Scanned: 50 sources | Matched: 187 ============================================================================== ``` ### JSON Format ```json { "articles": [ { "rank": 1, "title": "Bitcoin Breaks $100K ATH", "url": "https://coindesk.com/...", "source": "CoinDesk", "published": "2026-01-14T13:30:00Z", "age": "2h ago", "category": "market", "relevance_score": 95.0, "coins_mentioned": ["BTC"] } ], "meta": { "period": "24h", "sources_checked": 50, "total_articles": 187, "shown": 20 } } ``` ## Error Handling See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling. | Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Network timeout | RSS feed unreachable | Uses cached data; skips unavailable sources | | Parse error | Malformed RSS | Skips entry; continues with valid articles | | No results | Filters too strict | Suggest relaxing filters | | Invalid coin | Unknown symbol | List similar valid symbols | ## Examples See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples. ### Quick Examples ```bash # Get latest crypto news (default) python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py # Bitcoin news from past 4 hours python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin BTC --period 4h # DeFi category news python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --category defi # Export to JSON file python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --format json --output crypto_news.json # High-relevance news only python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --min-score 70 --top 10 # Multiple coins python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coins BTC,ETH,SOL ``` ## Resources - **CoinDesk**: https://www.coindesk.com/arc/outboundfeeds/rss/ - **CoinTelegraph**: https://cointelegraph.com/rss - **The Block**: https://www.theblock.co/rss.xml - **Decrypt**: https://decrypt.co/feed - **feedparser docs**: https://feedparser.readthedocs.io/ - See `{baseDir}/config/sources.yaml` for full source registry --- Source attribution: Dicklesworthstone Original project: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/blob/f28fc46ee0db8e710d95b8b55592cd38d60f2b26/tests/ext_conformance/artifacts/plugins-community/plugins/crypto/crypto-news-aggregator/skills/aggregating-crypto-news/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions;
