Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill helps AI agents fetch and present daily curated news from the 60s API, which provides 15 selected news items plus a daily quote.
Use this skill when users: Ask for today's news or current events Want a quick daily briefing Request news summaries in Chinese Need historical news from a specific date Want news in different formats (text, markdown, image)
Execute the associated scripts/news.sh script to fetch the news. ./scripts/news.sh [options] [date]
--encoding, -e <format>: Optional. Specifies the output response format. Valid options are text, json, markdown, image, and image-proxy. The API defaults to json if not specified. --date, -d <YYYY-MM-DD>: Optional. Fetch historical news for a specific date. If omitted, fetches today's news. Note: If this is the only argument provided, you can omit the --date flag entirely.
The script securely calls the 60s API and outputs the response to stdout. Depending on the encoding parameter, the response could be a JSON string, plain text, markdown, or image URLs.
# Get today's news using default API encoding (json) ./scripts/news.sh # Get today's news in plain text format ./scripts/news.sh --encoding text # Get news for a specific date using flags ./scripts/news.sh --date 2024-03-01 # Get news for a specific date (simplified usage without flags) ./scripts/news.sh 2024-03-01 # Get news for a specific date in markdown format ./scripts/news.sh -e markdown -d 2024-03-01
To balance information depth with token consumption when text-based output is needed, you MUST use the following rules for the encoding parameter. Note: If image output is requested, you should still use image or image-proxy. Default Strategy (--encoding markdown) When to use: By default for standard daily news inquiries. Why: Provides well-structured, easy-to-read information with moderate token usage. Brief Information (--encoding text) When to use: When the user explicitly requests brief or summarized news. Why: Returns only essential details in plain text, saving maximum tokens. Complete Information (--encoding json) When to use: Only when the user explicitly asks for raw data, detailed fields, or comprehensive data. Why: Returns the complete API payload, which is highly token-heavy.
Solution: Try requesting previous dates (yesterday or the day before) The service tries latest 3 days automatically
Solution: Use encoding=image-proxy instead of encoding=image The proxy endpoint directly returns image binary data
Solution: Data is only available for recent dates Check the response status code
