About

This template runs an agent that assembles one curated news digest each day and sends it to your inbox. It is built for founders and operators who want to stay current on their topics without scanning feeds and newsletters by hand every morning.

What it does

Every day at 7am, the News Digest Compiler pulls stories from your sources, removes duplicates, ranks what matters, writes short summaries, and delivers a single clean issue through Gmail. The result is one email that reads like a briefing instead of a pile of open tabs.

How it works

The agent follows a fixed method for building each issue, loaded at the start of every scheduled run:

  1. Fetch the latest items from your configured sources.
  2. Dedup so the same story does not appear twice.
  3. Rank the items by relevance and importance.
  4. Summarize each selected story into a short, readable entry.
  5. Assemble the entries into one digest issue.
  6. Deliver the issue to your inbox through Gmail.
  7. Verify that the digest was sent correctly.

Because it runs on a daily schedule, the digest arrives on its own without any manual trigger. Setup takes about five minutes: connect Gmail and point the agent at the sources you want tracked. From there it produces a consistent morning read every day.

Frequently asked questions

Which accounts do I need to connect?

You connect a Gmail account. The News Digest Compiler uses Gmail to deliver the finished digest issue each day, so a working Gmail connection is all the setup requires.

How often does the digest run?

Once a day. The schedule runs at 7:00 AM on a daily cron, building one curated digest issue per run and sending it via Gmail.

What does each digest actually contain?

One daily issue built from your own sources, with duplicate stories removed, items ranked, and each one summarized before assembly and delivery. The agent verifies the issue before sending it to your Gmail.

How long does setup take?

About 5 minutes. You install the template, connect your Gmail account, and the agent runs on its daily schedule from there.

Where do the news stories come from?

From the owner's own sources. The compile-digest skill fetches those sources natively at the start of each run, then deduplicates, ranks, and summarizes them into one issue.

Does it send the digest to other people?

No. The template delivers one digest issue per day to the connected Gmail account. It does not manage subscriber lists or send to multiple recipients based on the brief.
