What it does
AI Daily is a Claude Code skill that takes the AI news feed from smol.ai, analyzes it with Claude and groups it by topic into a structured Markdown document. The request is plain text: news for yesterday, for the day before, for 13 January 2026 or yesterday's model-release news. If there is no data for a day, the skill suggests the nearest options. Several formats can follow. A web page comes in one of three themes: Apple style, deep sea blue or autumn sun. A social card gets a suitable size, and a Xiaohongshu-style cover is made at 3:4 (750×1000) in a minimal grid and saved as a PNG from the browser. The feed is read by the `fetch_news.py` script over RSS. The repository also holds a separate set of Python scripts for GitHub Actions: fetching, analysis, page and image generation. The skill installs as a plugin, by copying the project or by copying `plugins/ai-daily` into `~/.claude/skills/`. Texts and prompts are in Chinese.
Who it is for. Digest authors, channel editors and developers who need a daily AI news roundup without collecting it by hand.
Good fit when
- In the morning you need a short, topic-grouped AI news breakdown for yesterday
- A summary has to become a clean page for publication in one of three themes
- Social channels need a card at the right size or a 3:4 cover
- You want a topic filter, such as model releases only
- The digest runs on a schedule in GitHub Actions
Not a fit when
- You need news from other sources: the skill reads only the smol.ai feed
- You need a Russian interface: prompts and page styling are in Chinese
- You need guaranteed accuracy of the retelling: a model makes the summary and it is better checked against the original item
Example request
Show yesterday's AI news by topic and make a page from them in Apple styleLimitations
The skill takes data only from smol.ai over RSS and shows nothing for days with no issue. The feed script needs Python with the feedparser and requests packages. A model produces the analysis, so wording and the topic split are worth checking against primary sources. For GitHub Actions automation the repository holds separate code with settings and a model access key. The author offers paid custom work, which does not concern the skill itself. The last commit is from November 2026.
How to disable. Run /plugin uninstall ai-daily or delete plugins/ai-daily from ~/.claude/skills/. Generated pages and images sit in the project's docs/ folder and are deleted by hand.
FAQ
Where does the news come from?
From smol.ai over RSS: the fetch_news.py script reads the feed and Claude analyzes and groups the items by topic.
Which requests does the skill understand?
Plain date phrases: yesterday, the day before, a specific day such as 2026-01-13, plus a topic, for example model-release news.
Which themes does the web page have?
Three: Apple, deep sea blue and autumn sun. Name a theme up front or pick one after the request.
How do I make a Xiaohongshu cover?
Ask for a cover: the skill builds an HTML at 3:4 (750×1000) in a minimal grid. Open the file from docs/xiaohongshu/ in a browser and press the save button.
Can it run on a schedule?
Yes, the repository has a set of Python scripts for GitHub Actions: feed fetching, analysis and HTML and image generation. They need settings and a model key.
