rust-daily_skill

Overview

This skill generates Rust community news reports on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. It aggregates updates from ecosystem sources, official Rust channels, and the Rust Foundation, then formats them into a concise report ready for distribution. Use it to stay informed or to publish curated summaries.

How this skill works

The skill fetches items from configured sources (Reddit r/rust, This Week in Rust, blog.rust-lang.org, Inside Rust, rustfoundation.org) filtered by the selected time_range and category. It validates that each category returns at least one item, retries with alternate tools on failure, and outputs a structured markdown report with sections for Ecosystem, Official, and Foundation items. Reports include dates, titles, links, and short summaries where available.

When to use it

• Daily briefings for immediate Rust ecosystem activity
• Weekly summaries for newsletters or team syncs
• Monthly digests for community retrospectives
• When preparing release notes or community roundups
• Before publishing a TWIR-style post

Best practices

• Choose the smallest useful time_range to avoid overload (day for fast-moving topics)
• Filter by category when you need focused coverage (official vs ecosystem)
• Validate links and summaries before public distribution
• Use the markdown output as-is for newsletters or convert to HTML for web publishing
• If a source returns no items, note "No updates" to keep cadence consistent

Example use cases

• Send a daily summary of notable Rust threads and library releases to an engineering team
• Compile a weekly TWIR-style newsletter for a community blog
• Produce a monthly roundup of Rust Foundation announcements and events
• Monitor ecosystem chatter (Reddit, This Week in Rust) for trending topics to address in project planning
