api-digest_skill

Overview

This skill generates a detailed digest from API-derived content when you ask for a digest, summary, or "what's new." It fetches raw data, extracts structured insights, and produces a readable, action-focused report. The output highlights topics, quotes, links, questions, and top contributors for quick consumption.

How this skill works

The skill runs the provided fetch script to retrieve API data, then parses entries to identify topics, quotes, links, unanswered questions, and active contributors. It groups related discussions into thematic clusters, assesses sentiment and debate intensity, and preserves quote context and attribution. Finally, it formats the findings into the required digest template for delivery.

When to use it

• You need a thorough update from an activity stream, forum, or changelog via API.
• You want actionable insights rather than a short summary.
• You need to identify unresolved questions or follow-ups quickly.
• You want to surface notable quotes, links, and most active contributors.
• You need to detect heated debates or consensus across discussions.

Best practices

• Run the fetch script from a reliable environment with network access to ensure up-to-date data.
• Provide date ranges or filters to limit noise and focus the digest on relevant content.
• Preserve original quote context and attribution—do not paraphrase emotional or nuanced statements.
• Flag high-volume topics and group related threads to reduce redundancy.
• Prioritize actionable recommendations and unanswered questions for follow-up.

Example use cases

• Weekly stakeholder brief that highlights key discussions, decisions, and open issues.
• Onboarding snapshot for new team members to catch up on recent community activity.
• Monitoring product feedback streams to extract recurring problems and suggested fixes.
• Research digest that collects notable quotes, links, and references for a topic review.
• Escalation report that identifies heated debates and contributors driving conversations.
