# gate-news-briefing

## General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding.
Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority.
→ Read [gate-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-runtime-rules.md)
→ Also read [info-news-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/info-news-runtime-rules.md) for **gate-info** / **gate-news**-specific rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, routing degradation, per-skill version checks when `scripts/` is present, and legacy wrapper routing).
- **Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill.** Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they
  exist in the MCP server.
- **Legacy / routing mode:** when Step 0 emits `__FALLBACK__`, use only the MCP tools listed in this file. When Step 0 emits `__ROUTE_CLI__`, do **not** call those MCP tools; delegate to the mapped primary skill per Step 0.

> The crypto industry "morning briefing" Skill. The user asks what's been happening; the system calls 3 MCP Tools in parallel to fetch major events + trending news + social sentiment, then the LLM aggregates into a layered news briefing.

**Trigger Scenarios**: User asks about recent/today's news, headlines, or what's been happening.

**Per-skill updates:** This directory includes `scripts/update-skill.sh` and may include `scripts/update-skill.ps1`. **ClawHub** packages uploaded to the marketplace often omit `update-skill.ps1` (upload-page restriction); **GitHub / Bitbucket** source trees keep both. Policy: [info-news-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/info-news-runtime-rules.md) §1. The **Trigger update** steps below apply in addition to [gate-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-runtime-rules.md); when scripts are present, use this flow for version checks before execution.

**Update check — user visibility:** Technical failures during version check (missing script, sandbox, network, non-zero exit, no parseable `Result=` line) must **not** be explained to the user; continue with Execution per [info-news-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/info-news-runtime-rules.md). Only **successful** `check` / `apply` outcomes may be summarized (including **`update_available`** / strict **exit 3**, which is still a **success path** that requires user confirmation before `apply`). **Do not** auto-download `update-skill.*` from the network. **Static reference** if `.ps1` is missing: canonical scripts live in [gate/gate-skills](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills) under `skills/<name>/scripts/` (same `<name>` as frontmatter).

## Step 0 — Wrapper routing probe

This legacy skill is a compatibility alias for the primary CLI skill
`gate-news-intel`.

Before Trigger update, MCP tool selection, or any legacy Execution Workflow,
run a deterministic shell probe:

```bash
PRIMARY_SKILL="gate-news-intel"
HAS_PRIMARY=0
for root in \
  "$HOME/.cursor/skills" \
  "$HOME/.codex/skills" \
  "$HOME/.openclaw/skills" \
  "$HOME/.agents/skills" \
  "$HOME/.gemini/antigravity/skills"
do
  if [ -f "$root/$PRIMARY_SKILL/SKILL.md" ]; then
    HAS_PRIMARY=1
    break
  fi
done

if command -v gate-cli >/dev/null 2>&1 && [ "$HAS_PRIMARY" = "1" ]; then
  echo "__ROUTE_CLI__"
else
  echo "__FALLBACK__"
fi
```

Interpretation:

- `__ROUTE_CLI__` → stop here. Do **not** run Trigger update or the legacy MCP
  sections below. Follow
  `https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-news-intel/SKILL.md`
  and its playbook contract. Carry over the minimum context: optional `symbol`
  and `time_range`; if no ticker is present, let the primary skill choose
  `market_wide_intel`.
- `__FALLBACK__` → continue with Trigger update and the legacy MCP workflow in
  this file.

## Trigger update (with Execution)

**Default (PD / blocking):** On each trigger, run **`check`** first **without** **`GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto`**. The script **only compares** local vs remote; if `Result=update_available`, it **does not** overwrite files. **STOP** — ask the user whether to update **before** any **`apply`**, **`run`**, or skill Execution. In sandboxes (e.g. Cursor), use **full / all permissions** when later running **`apply`**. This matches **blocking update confirmation** in the independent-script TEST_REPORT: blocking is enforced by these SKILL instructions plus **check-only** behavior (not by silent auto-apply).

**Strict check (Agent / IDE — recommended on `check`):** Use **`GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT=1`**. When `Result=update_available`, **`check`** **exits 3** and prints **`GATE_SKILL_CHECK_EXIT=3`** — it stops **only** that shell step. **Hard rule:** after you ask the user, **end this assistant turn**; do **not** call **`apply`**, **`run`**, or MCP in the **same** message. **`run`** applies without a prior user step — **do not** use **`run`** in chat for the blocking flow; use **`check` → user confirms → `apply`**.

### Step 1 — Check

**Install root:** `check` / `apply` read **`$DEST/SKILL.md`**. Typical **`$SKILL_ROOT`**: **`$HOME/.cursor/skills/<name>/`**, **`$HOME/.codex/skills/<name>/`**, **`$HOME/.openclaw/skills/<name>/`**, **`$HOME/.agents/skills/<name>/`**, **`$HOME/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<name>/`**. Single-arg: the script resolves **`DEST`** in that order when **`SKILL.md`** exists; otherwise **`DEST`** is `scripts/../`. Workspace-only trees need two-arg **`check`** / **`apply`** with explicit **`DEST`**.

**Agent selection rules** (run **at most one** of the fenced examples below; choose by OS and files under `$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/`):
- **macOS / Linux / WSL / Git Bash:** If `update-skill.sh` exists → use **only** the **Bash** example.
- **Windows (native PowerShell):** If `update-skill.ps1` exists → use **only** the **PowerShell** example.
- **Windows without `.ps1`** (typical ClawHub install): If only `update-skill.sh` exists → try **WSL** or **Git Bash** (`bash`) using the **same command shape** as the Bash example. If bash is unavailable or execution fails → **skip Step 1** silently (no script stderr or “version check failed” message to the user); proceed to Execution.
- **Neither script exists:** Skip Step 1 silently; proceed to Execution. Do **not** invent `GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN` or run `apply` / `revoke-pending`.

**Bash** (blocking — no auto; example Cursor):

```bash
GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT=1 bash "$HOME/.cursor/skills/gate-news-briefing/scripts/update-skill.sh" check "gate-news-briefing"
```

**PowerShell:**

```powershell
$env:GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT = '1'
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\skills\gate-news-briefing\scripts\update-skill.ps1" check "gate-news-briefing"
```

**Result semantics:** `skipped` = no action. `update_available` = remote newer; **with blocking flow, do not apply until the user agrees**. `check_failed` = could not compare — proceed with current version per [info-news-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/info-news-runtime-rules.md); **do not** surface technical check failure details to the user.

**Agent parse (stdout):** `GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_AGENT_ACTION=…`. **`BLOCK_UNTIL_USER_CONFIRMS_UPDATE`** → Step 2 before Execution. **`CONTINUE_SKILL_EXECUTION`** → no block from the check script.

### Step 2 — Confirm or Reject (blocking)

**Runtime:** Use the **same** shell family for Step 2 as for Step 1 (Bash vs PowerShell). If Step 1 was **skipped**, do **not** run `apply` or `revoke-pending`.

**If `update_available`:**

1. **STOP** — do NOT proceed to Execution yet.
2. Inform the user (e.g. newer version available; summarize if helpful).
3. **Wait for the user’s reply** — blocking step.

   **Hard rule (Cursor / Agent):** When `check` reports **`update_available`**, or **`BLOCK_UNTIL_USER_CONFIRMS_UPDATE`**, or strict **`exit 3`**, **end this turn** aft
