turkey-news_skill

Overview

This skill fetches important news from Türkiye via multiple RSS feeds, filters and summarizes them, and delivers notifications automatically. It runs on a schedule (cron) to provide timely digests and can also be run manually for on-demand summaries.

How this skill works

The skill polls a curated list of Turkish news RSS feeds, normalizes and de-duplicates incoming items, and filters entries by recency (default: last 3 hours). It ranks stories, selects the top 5–7 important items, produces short summaries (headline + one sentence), outputs JSON, and can push notifications to Telegram or other endpoints.

When to use it

• Deliver concise, timely summaries of Turkish national news to a chat or channel.
• Automate morning/afternoon/evening news digests with cron jobs.
• Quick manual checks for breaking news when you need immediate context.
• Feed summarized news into other automation or analytics pipelines.
• Archive or backup latest headlines from multiple Turkish outlets.

Best practices

• Run the cron job 2–3 times per day for balanced coverage and fewer duplicates.
• Keep the RSS source list updated; remove broken feeds and add reliable outlets.
• Use the JSON output to integrate with Telegram bots or other notification services.
• Configure deduplication and ranking thresholds to avoid noisy or minor items.
• Monitor delivery (Telegram/API) for failures and log fetch errors for troubleshooting.

Example use cases

• A newsroom channel receives twice-daily summaries of Türkiye’s top stories.
• A researcher collects short, timestamped JSON digests for incident tracking.
• A personal Telegram bot notifies an editor about breaking events in real time.
• A backup system archives headlines from major Turkish outlets for long-term analysis.
