                                         (shared vocabulary)

### Phase 0: Determine Briefing Type & Time Scope

Before any tool calls, ask the user (if not already clear):

Briefing Type: Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Custom Topic?
Time Scope: Last 24 hours / Last 7 days / Last 30 days / Custom date range?
Output Format: Standard / Brief / Thread / Markdown Report / Presentation / Custom?
Focus Area (optional): All categories / Specific category (e.g., only hardware, only China ecosystem)?

Default if user doesn't specify:

Type: Daily
Scope: Last 24 hours
Format: Standard
Focus: All categories

Map to workflow.md:

Daily → workflow.md Section "Daily Workflow"
Weekly → workflow.md Section "Weekly Workflow"
Monthly → workflow.md Section "Monthly Workflow"

### Phase 1: Information Gathering

Consult workflow.md for the appropriate recipe, then execute the corresponding steps from search_queries.md and news_sources.md.

Step 1.1: Execute Search Queries

Tool: WebSearch (or equivalent web search tool)

Source: search_queries.md → Select the appropriate recipe:

Daily Briefing → Recipe A (5 queries)
Weekly Roundup → Recipe B (8 queries)
Monthly Deep Dive → Recipe C (12 queries)
Custom Topic → Recipe D + user-specified filters

Parameters:

return_format: markdown
with_images_summary: false
timeout: 20 seconds per source
Fetch only from publicly accessible sources listed in news_sources.md

Output: A list of 20–50 URLs with headlines and snippets.

Step 1.2: Fetch Tier 1 Sources Directly

Tool: mcp__web_reader__webReader

Source: news_sources.md → Tier 1 section

Directly fetch the homepage or RSS feed of:

The Robot Report
IEEE Spectrum — Robotics
TechCrunch — Robotics
Robotics Business Review
(Add others based on briefing type)

Parameters:

url: [homepage URL from news_sources.md]
return_format: markdown
with_images_summary: false
Process only URLs from verified sources in news_sources.md

Output: Recent headlines (last 24h / 7d / 30d based on scope).

Step 1.3: Fetch arXiv Papers

Tool: mcp__arxiv__readURL (if available) or WebSearch with arXiv-specific queries

Source: search_queries.md → Section "6. Academic Research (arXiv)"

Execute 2–3 arXiv queries:

cat:cs.RO AND ("embodied AI" OR "robot learning" OR "VLA") submittedDate:[today - 7d TO today]

Output: 5–10 recent papers with abstracts.

Step 1.4: Fetch Company Blogs & Official Announcements

Tool: mcp__web_reader__webReader

Source: news_sources.md → Tier 2 (Company Blogs) + Tier 4 (China Ecosystem)

Fetch from:

Figure AI Blog
Physical Intelligence Blog
Tesla AI Blog
Unitree Blog (Chinese + English)
AGIBOT WeChat Official Account (if accessible)
(Add others based on focus area)

Fetch constraints:

Only process URLs from search results and sources listed in news_sources.md
Skip content requiring authentication
Timeout: 15 seconds per URL

Output: Recent announcements (last 7d / 30d based on scope).

### Phase 2: Content Extraction & Deduplication

For each fetched URL:

Extract:

Headline
Publication date
Source name
Summary (first 2–3 paragraphs or abstract)
Key entities: companies, models, hardware platforms (use taxonomy.md for reference)



Deduplicate:

If multiple sources cover the same story, keep the one with the most detail
Merge information if they provide complementary details



Discard:

Stories older than the time scope
Irrelevant content (use search_queries.md Section 1.4 "Noise Exclusion Filter")
Duplicate announcements

Output: A deduplicated list of 15–30 stories with extracted metadata.

### Phase 3: Classification & Prioritization

Consult taxonomy.md to classify each story.

Step 3.1: Assign Primary Category

Use taxonomy.md → Section "1. News Category Taxonomy"

Assign each story to exactly one primary category:

🔥 Major Announcements
🧠 Foundation Models & Algorithms
🦾 Hardware & Platforms
🌐 Simulation & Infrastructure
🏭 Deployments & Commercial
💰 Funding, M&A & Business
🌍 Policy, Safety & Ethics
🇨🇳 China Ecosystem

Rules (from taxonomy.md → "Category Assignment Rules"):

Major Announcements: Only for top-impact stories (new paradigm, >$500M funding, first-ever deployment milestone)
China Ecosystem: Use when the story's primary significance is about the Chinese market/ecosystem
Cross-cutting stories: Assign primary + up to 2 secondary tags

Step 3.2: Assign Priority Level

Use taxonomy.md → Section "3. Priority Scoring System"

Calculate priority score (0–100) based on:

Impact (0–40 points): Paradigm shift / Major milestone / Incremental improvement
Timeliness (0–20 points): Breaking news / Recent (1–3 days) / Older
Source Authority (0–20 points): Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3
Relevance (0–20 points): Core embodied AI / Adjacent / Tangential

Priority Levels:

P0 (90–100): Must-read, above-the-fold
P1 (70–89): Important, include in main body
P2 (50–69): Notable, include if space allows
P3 (<50): Optional, move to "Other News" section or omit

Step 3.3: Sort Stories

Within each category, sort by:

Priority score (descending)
Publication date (most recent first)

### Phase 4: Content Synthesis

For each story, generate:

One-sentence summary: Capture the core news in <20 words


Key points (2–4 bullet points): Extract the most important details


Metadata fields (based on category):

For Foundation Models: Model Type, Embodiment, Open Source, Impact
For Hardware: Hardware Type, Company, Specs, Impact
For Deployments: Deployment Scale, Industry Vertical, Performance Metrics, Impact
For Funding: Amount, Lead Investor, Valuation, Use of Funds
(See output_templates.md for full metadata schema per category)



Impact statement: Why this matters for the embodied AI field (1–2 sentences)

Tone & Style:

Objective: Present facts without hype or editorial opinion
Concise: Favor clarity over completeness
Technical: Use domain-specific terminology from taxonomy.md
Neutral: Treat all companies, countries, and technologies equally

### Phase 5: Output Generation

Consult output_templates.md to select the appropriate template.

Step 5.1: Select Template

Based on user request (from Phase 0):

User RequestTemplate to Use"Daily briefing"Standard Format"Quick summary"Brief Format"Twitter thread"Thread Format"Markdown report"Markdown Report Format"Presentation slides"Presentation Format"Custom"Adapt from Standard Format

Step 5.2: Render Output

Fill in the selected template with:

Header: Date, source count, time scope
Category sections: Ordered by priority (🔥 Major Announcements first)
Story blocks: Headline, summary, key points, metadata, source link
Footer: Methodology note, source attribution

Quality checks:

All links are valid and correctly formatted
All metadata fields are filled (use "N/A" if not applicable)
No duplicate stories
Stories are sorted by priority within each category
Total output length is appropriate for briefing type:

Daily: 1,500–2,500 words
Weekly: 3,000–5,000 words
Monthly: 5,000–10,000 words

Step 5.3: Add Contextual Notes (Optional)

If the user requested analysis or trends, append:

Trend Spotlight: 2–3 emerging patterns observed this period
Company Momentum: Which companies/labs are most active
Technology Shifts: Notable changes in technical approaches
Geographic Insights: Regional differences (e.g., US vs China ecosystem)

Use taxonomy.md → Section "5. Trend Analysis Framework" for guidance.

### Phase 6: Delivery & Follow-up

Deliver the briefing in the selected format
Offer follow-up options:

"Would you like me to deep-dive into any specific story?"
"Should I track these companies/topics for your next briefing?"
"Would you like a comparison with last week/month's trends?"

### Custom Topic Deep-Dive

If user asks about a specific topic (e.g., "What's new with dexterous hands?"):

Consult taxonomy.md → Section "2. Technology & Product Taxonomy" → Find relevant subcategories
Build custom queries using search_queries.md → Recipe D (Custom Topic)
Fetch from all tiers in news_sources.md that cover this topic
Output using the "Deep-Dive Format" from output_templates.md

### Company-Specific Briefing

If user asks about a specific company (e.g., "What's Figure AI been up to?"):

Consult taxonomy.md → Section "4. Company & Organization Directory" → Find company profile
Build queries targeting:

Company blog
News mentions
arXiv papers by company researchers
Funding announcements


Output using the "Company Spotlight Format" from output_templates.md

### China Ecosystem Focus

If user asks specifically about China (e.g., "中国人形机器人有什么进展?"):

Prioritize news_sources.md → Tier 4 (China Ecosystem)
Use search_queries.md → Section "8. China Ecosystem"
Consult taxonomy.md → Section "4.3 China Ecosystem Companies"
Output in Chinese or bilingual format (ask user preference)

### Operating Scope

This skill operates in read-only mode:

Fetches content from public sources listed in reference files
Synthesizes and presents information to the user
Does not modify, post, or interact with external systems
Does not perform actions on behalf of the user unless explicitly requested (e.g., "add this to my calendar")

### Information Freshness

Daily briefing: Prioritize stories from the last 24 hours
Weekly briefing: Include stories from the last 7 days, but highlight the most recent
Monthly briefing: Cover the full 30 days, but organize by week or theme

### Source Diversity

Aim for a balanced mix:

40% from Tier 1 (core industry media)
30% from Tier 2 (company blogs & official sources)
20% from Tier 3 (academic & research)
10% from Tier 4 (China ecosystem, if relevant)

### Quality over Quantity

Better to have 15 high-quality, well-summarized stories than 50 shallow headlines
If a story lacks detail or verification, mark it as "Unconfirmed" or omit it

### Handling Uncertainty

If a story's details are unclear, state: "Details are limited; awaiting official confirmation"
If sources conflict, present both versions: "Source A reports X, while Source B reports Y"
Never fabricate details to fill gaps

### Language Handling

If user asks in Chinese, output in Chinese (but keep company/model names in English)
If user asks in English, output in English
For bilingual users, offer: "Would you like this in English, Chinese, or bilingual?"

### If a source is unreachable:

Skip it and note in the footer: "Note: [Source Name] was unavailable at the time of this briefing"

### If search returns no results:

Broaden the query or try alternative keywords from taxonomy.md
If still no results, inform the user: "No recent news found for [topic] in the specified time range"

### If classification is ambiguous:

Default to the most specific applicable category
Add a secondary tag if the story spans multiple domains

### If output exceeds length limits:

Prioritize P0 and P1 stories
Move P2 and P3 stories to a "Quick Hits" section with one-line summaries
Offer to generate a separate deep-dive on omitted topics

### Monthly (consult workflow.md → "Monthly Workflow"):

Review taxonomy.md for new companies, models, or terminology
Update news_sources.md if new authoritative sources emerge
Refine search_queries.md based on what queries yielded the best results

### Quarterly:

Audit the priority scoring system — are P0 stories truly the most impactful?
Review output templates — do they match user preferences?

### Example 1: Daily Briefing

User: "Give me today's embodied AI news"

Agent:

Determines: Daily briefing, last 24h, Standard format, All categories
Executes Recipe A from search_queries.md (5 queries)
Fetches Tier 1 sources from news_sources.md
Classifies using taxonomy.md
Outputs using Standard Format from output_templates.md

### Example 2: Weekly Roundup

User: "What happened in robotics this week?"

Agent:

Determines: Weekly briefing, last 7 days, Standard format, All categories
Executes Recipe B from search_queries.md (8 queries)
Fetches Tier 1 + Tier 2 sources
Prioritizes P0 and P1 stories
Outputs using Standard Format with "Trend Spotlight" section

### Example 3: Custom Topic

User: "What's new with VLA models?"

Agent:

Determines: Custom topic, last 7 days, Deep-Dive format
Consults taxonomy.md → "Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Models"
Builds custom queries from search_queries.md Section 2.1
Fetches from Tier 1 + Tier 3 (arXiv)
Outputs using Deep-Dive Format

### Example 4: Company Spotlight

User: "What's Unitree been up to?"

Agent:

Determines: Company-specific, last 30 days, Company Spotlight format
Consults taxonomy.md → Company profile for Unitree
Fetches Unitree blog + news mentions + arXiv papers
Outputs using Company Spotlight Format from output_templates.md

### Example 5: China Ecosystem

User: "中国人形机器人有什么进展?"

Agent:

Determines: China focus, last 7 days, Standard format, Chinese output
Prioritizes news_sources.md Tier 4 sources
Uses search_queries.md Section 8 (China Ecosystem)
Outputs in Chinese using Standard Format

### Summary

This skill orchestrates a multi-phase workflow:

Determine briefing type & scope
Gather information from curated sources using structured queries
Classify stories using a shared taxonomy
Prioritize based on impact, timeliness, and relevance
Synthesize concise summaries with metadata
Output in the user's preferred format

Key success factors:

Always consult the 5 reference files at the appropriate workflow stage
