What it does
- Fetches AI news from
news.smol.ai/rss.xmlvia a bundled Python script. - Parses relative dates ("yesterday", "the day before") and absolute
YYYY-MM-DDdates. - Produces 3–5 key takeaways, sorts items into six categories (model releases, product updates, research, tools, funding/M&A, industry events), and extracts keywords.
- Optionally renders a styled HTML page (Apple minimal, deep blue, warm autumn) saved to
docs/{date}.html. - Optionally builds a social-ready card image via the Firefly Card API, saved to
docs/images/{date}.png. - If no issue exists for the requested date, it reports the available date range and suggests alternatives.
Who it's for
- Anyone who ships a daily or weekly AI roundup to a team, Slack channel, or newsletter.
- Content creators and marketers covering the AI space.
- Developers and PMs who want a quick scan of new models and tooling.
Examples
- "Give me yesterday's AI news" → structured Markdown digest with summary, categories, and keywords.
- "AI news for 2026-01-13, make a webpage" → Apple-style HTML written to
docs/2026-01-13.html. - "Only model-release news from yesterday, then make a share card" → filtered digest plus a PNG card in
docs/images/.

- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the plugins/ai-daily/skills/ai-daily folder from the GitHub repo geekjourneyx/ai-daily-skill into my ~/.claude/skills/ai-daily-news/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/geekjourneyx/ai-daily-skill.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r ai-daily-skill/plugins/ai-daily/skills/ai-daily ~/.claude/skills/ai-daily⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/geekjourneyx/ai-daily-skill.git - Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill in:
cp -r ai-daily-skill/plugins/ai-daily/skills/ai-daily ~/.claude/skills/ai-daily - Confirm Python 3 is available:
python3 --version(the RSS fetch script needs it). - Prepare output folders:
mkdir -p docs/images - Restart Claude Code and try: "Summarize yesterday's AI news."
- Note that card-image generation calls an external API (fireflycard-api.302ai.cn), so internet access is required.
