What it does
The skill connects an agent to `aisearches.cc`, which each day gathers news from more than 40 public sources, removes duplicates and sorts items into categories: models, products, industry, papers, tips. The agent answers requests such as what is new in AI today or what OpenAI released, reading JSON endpoints under `/api/v1/` with no key and no MCP server. The repository holds the whole site: GitHub Actions collects data on a schedule and the static build is published to GitHub Pages. A separate page tracks star growth of AI projects on GitHub across eight tracks. The source list is changed by editing the array in `scripts/sources/rss.ts`, so the site can be repurposed for another field.
Who it is for. Developers and researchers who want an AI news digest inside an agent chat without opening a browser.
Good fit when
- You want a short morning digest of new models and releases.
- You need recent publications on a topic such as RAG.
- An agent should check what came out in AI over the past week.
- An author wants to fork the site and build a news aggregator for another field.
Not a fit when
- You need authoritative analysis or fact checking: the site only holds short model comments.
- Data must appear in real time: the build runs once a day.
- The agent must not call an external site.
Example request
What is new in AI today? Show only model releases and RAG papers from the past week.Limitations
The skill depends on the external site `aisearches.cc`: if it stops updating, answers go stale. The installer `install.sh` downloads a file into `.claude/skills/` or `.cursor/skills/`, and a `curl | bash` run should be read first. Short comments are written by a model and may contain errors. A self-hosted copy enables comments with the secret `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`, which sends article titles to DeepSeek. Sources and texts belong to their authors.
How to disable. Delete `ai-search.md` from `.claude/skills/` or `.cursor/skills/`. If you deployed a fork, disable GitHub Pages and remove the secret.
FAQ
Is an API key required?
No. The endpoints return static JSON without authentication, and no MCP server is needed.
How often is data updated?
Once a day: GitHub Actions rebuilds and publishes the site on a schedule.
Where does the skill install?
The installer puts the file at `.claude/skills/ai-search.md` or `.cursor/skills/ai-search.md`, and saves `SKILL.md` in the current folder when neither directory exists.
How do I make a site for another topic?
Replace the FEEDS array in `scripts/sources/rss.ts` and the categories in `lib/categories.ts`, then run `npm run crawl && npm run dev`.
What are the GitHub trends on the site?
A separate page shows daily star growth of AI projects on GitHub across eight tracks, with filters and search.
