aggregating-crypto-news_skill

Overview

This skill aggregates breaking cryptocurrency news from 50+ authoritative sources including CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, The Block, and Decrypt. It delivers real-time scanning with coin- and category-level filters, relevance scoring, and multiple export formats. Use it to surface market-moving headlines, track announcements, or monitor coin-specific developments quickly.

How this skill works

The aggregator polls RSS feeds across a curated source registry, parses entries, and normalizes metadata (title, source, published time). It applies filters for coin symbols, categories, and time windows, computes a relevance score based on market-moving keywords, and returns results sorted by relevance or recency. Outputs can be shown in a table or exported as JSON or CSV with summary meta information.

When to use it

• Monitor breaking crypto headlines after a major market move or protocol announcement
• Track coin-specific updates (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL) during an ICO, fork, or listing
• Scan regulatory or security category news to assess compliance or risk
• Create automated reports or feeds for trading desks and research teams

Best practices

• Start with a 24-hour default window and widen if results are sparse
• Combine coin and category filters to reduce noise (e.g., ETH + defi)
• Use a minimum relevance score to focus on market-moving items
• Export JSON for programmatic workflows and CSV for spreadsheets
• Schedule periodic runs and cache feeds to handle occasional timeouts

Example use cases

• Run a 4-hour BTC scan to collect headlines for a trader's morning brief
• Filter for 'regulatory' to monitor SEC or government announcements affecting exchanges
• Export top 20 DeFi articles to JSON for downstream sentiment analysis
• Watch NFT category during a marketplace launch to catch key listings and drops
• Set up daily automated scans that push high-relevance alerts to Slack or email
