### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

## Documentation

### TechNews Skill

Fetches top stories from TechMeme, summarizes linked articles, and highlights social media buzz.

### Usage

Command: /technews

Fetches the top 10 stories from TechMeme, provides summaries from the linked articles, and highlights notable social media reactions.

### Setup

This skill requires:

Python 3.9+
requests and beautifulsoup4 packages
Optional: tiktoken for token-aware truncation

Install dependencies:

pip install requests beautifulsoup4

### Architecture

The skill works in three stages:

Scrape TechMeme — scripts/techmeme_scraper.py fetches and parses top stories
Fetch Articles — scripts/article_fetcher.py retrieves article content in parallel
Summarize — scripts/summarizer.py generates summaries and finds social reactions

### /technews

Fetches and presents top tech news stories.

Output includes:

Story title and original link
AI-generated summary
Social media highlights (Twitter reactions)
Relevance score based on topic preferences

### How It Works

Scrapes TechMeme's homepage for top stories (by default, top 10)
For each story, fetches the linked article
Generates a concise summary (2-3 sentences)
Checks for notable social media reactions
Presents results in a clean, readable format

### State

<workspace>/memory/technews_history.json — cache of recently fetched stories to avoid repeats

### Examples

/technews — Get the latest tech news summary

### Future Expansion

This skill is designed to be extended to other sources:

Hacker News (/hn)
Reddit (/reddit)
Other tech news aggregators

The modular architecture allows adding new source handlers without changing core functionality.
