Show: /digest – a Claude Code skill for daily dev news digest

What it is

Type /digest in Claude Code and you get a neat, structured recap of recent developer headlines. It has been reported that the skill pulls top stories from Hacker News Daily and Lobste.rs, aggregates RSS/Atom feeds, filters by vote count, deduplicates by URL, and groups items by day. Simple idea. Clean execution. Want the last 3 days? Type /digest. Need a week? /digest 7. Nice and crisp.

How it works

Under the hood Claude Code reads SKILL.md which tells it to run a tiny Python utility, fetch_feeds.py. The script fetches feeds in parallel, parses XML with only the Python stdlib (no pip installs), ranks items by score, drops duplicates, and emits TSV that Claude formats to markdown. Sources are configurable via a YAML file, so you can add any valid RSS 2.0 or Atom feed and tweak per-source limits.

How to get it

Install from the Claude Code plugin marketplace — the README recommends the CamilleRoux/tech-digest plugin — or clone the repo and run the included installer on macOS or Linux. Usage is straightforward; uninstall is a one-liner too. The project is MIT‑licensed, intended to be low-friction and community-driven: contributions are welcome via GitHub.

Why it matters

In a world awash in noise, a tiny, no-deps tool that surfaces voted, curated links feels like a breath of fresh air. For developers who love "vibecoding" mornings and hate endless scrolling, /digest promises fewer clicks and more signal. Created by Camille Roux, it’s small, efficient, and exactly the sort of pragmatic tooling the dev community tends to rally around.
