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 ./references/gate-runtime-rules.md → Also read ./references/info-news-runtime-rules.md for gate-info / gate-news shared rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, and output standards).

  • 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.

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.

Routing Rules

User Intent Keywords Action
General news briefing "what happened recently" "today's headlines" "crypto news" "any new updates" Execute this Skill's full workflow
Coin-specific news "any SOL news" "what's happening with BTC" Execute this Skill with coin parameter set to that coin
Reason for a move "why did BTC crash" "what just happened" Route to gate-news-eventexplain
Overall market conditions "how's the market" Route to gate-info-marketoverview
Exchange announcements "any new listings on Binance" "new coins lately" Route to gate-news-listing

Execution Workflow

Step 0: Multi-Dimension Intent Check

Before executing this Skill, check if the user's query involves multiple analysis dimensions:

  • If the query is exclusively about recent news or headlines, proceed with this Skill.
  • If the query also mentions coin analysis, risk check, technicals, fundamentals, or any other analysis dimension beyond news, route to gate-info-research — it handles multi-dimension queries with unified tool deduplication and coherent report aggregation.

Step 1: Intent Recognition & Parameter Extraction

Extract from user input:

  • coin (optional): Whether a specific coin is targeted, e.g., "SOL news" → coin=SOL
  • time_range: Time window (default: 24h; if user says "this week" → 7d)
  • topic (optional): Whether focused on a specific topic (e.g., "regulation", "ETF", "DeFi")

Step 2: Call 3 MCP Tools in Parallel

General Briefing Mode (no specific coin):

Step MCP Tool Parameters Retrieved Data Parallel
1a news_events_get_latest_events time_range={time_range}, limit=10 Major event list (with impact rating) Yes
1b news_feed_search_news sort_by="importance", limit=10, lang="en" Top news ranked by importance Yes
1c news_feed_get_social_sentiment (no specific coin) Market-wide social sentiment overview Yes

Coin-Specific Mode (user specified a coin):

Step MCP Tool Parameters Retrieved Data Parallel
1a news_events_get_latest_events coin={coin}, time_range={time_range}, limit=10 Events related to that coin Yes
1b news_feed_search_news coin={coin}, sort_by="importance", limit=10 News related to that coin Yes
1c news_feed_get_social_sentiment coin={coin} Social sentiment for that coin Yes

Step 3: LLM Aggregation

The LLM must:

  1. De-duplicate events and news (the same event may appear in both feeds)
  2. Rank by impact/importance
  3. Categorize (Regulation, Projects, Market, Technology, etc.)
  4. Combine with social sentiment to identify market focus areas

Step 4: Output Structured Briefing

De-duplication & Ranking Logic

Rule Description
Event-News de-duplication If an event title closely matches a news headline (similarity > 80%), merge into one entry — events take priority
Importance ranking Events ranked by impact rating; news ranked by importance field
Time ordering At equal importance, reverse chronological (newest first)
Categorization News auto-categorized: Regulation & Policy / Projects & Technology / Market & Trading / DeFi / Other

Error Handling

Error Type Handling
news_events_get_latest_events fails Skip "Major Events" section; show news only
news_feed_search_news fails Show events only; note "News feed temporarily unavailable"
news_feed_get_social_sentiment fails Skip "Social Sentiment" section
All Tools fail Return error message; suggest the user try again later
Too few news items (\x3C 3) Expand time range (e.g., 24h → 48h) and note the change

Cross-Skill Routing

User Follow-up Intent Route To
"Why did XX pump/dump?" gate-news-eventexplain
"Analyze XX for me" gate-info-coinanalysis
"How's the overall market?" gate-info-marketoverview
"Any new listings on Binance?" gate-news-listing
"Tell me more about ETF" Deep search via news_feed_search_news(query="ETF")

Safety Rules

  1. Source attribution: Every news item must include the source (media name) and time
  2. No interpretive speculation: News summaries must remain objective — no subjective extrapolation
  3. No fabricated news: If data is insufficient, reduce the number of items rather than fabricate content
  4. Neutral handling of sensitive topics: Maintain neutral tone when covering regulation, politics, or other sensitive subjects
  5. Timeliness labeling: Clearly label the time range covered by the data
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent for producing short crypto news briefings: it only uses read-only MCP tools, asks for no secrets, and has no installer. Before installing, confirm you trust the Gate-News MCP server that the skill uses (the skill depends on that local/host MCP service for data). Also review the bundled reference files included in the package (they are small and readable) to ensure you are comfortable with the data sources and failure/degeneration behavior. If you do not have a trusted Gate-News MCP instance available, the skill will not return live headlines and will degrade gracefully per its rules.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gate-news-briefing Version: 1.0.3 The gate-news-briefing skill is a standard news aggregation tool designed to fetch and summarize crypto-related news, events, and social sentiment using the Gate-News MCP server. The skill's logic in SKILL.md and its supporting documentation (references/mcp.md, references/gate-runtime-rules.md) focuses on read-only operations, data deduplication, and structured reporting. There are no indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection aimed at unauthorized actions; it explicitly includes safety guardrails against data fabrication and requires neutral, source-attributed output.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (news briefing) matches the declared behavior: calling three read-only MCP tools (events, news search, social sentiment) and aggregating results. No unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to: verify Gate-News MCP availability, call the three documented read-only MCP tools, deduplicate/aggregate results, and format a briefing. The skill asks the agent to read the bundled reference rule files (which are included in the package) and to avoid calling undocumented tools. One ambiguous line in the template mentions 'Full source of all included files' — this appears to be reviewer-facing or bundle-inspection guidance rather than a directive to exfiltrate unrelated files, but the wording could be clearer to avoid misinterpretation.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. This is low-risk: nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself. It does require a local Gate MCP server to be present, but does not include an installer.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The skill explicitly states it's read-only and does not handle API secrets under normal execution.
Persistence & Privilege
No special persistence requested (always:false). The skill does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but is not combined here with any broad credentials or installation privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install gate-news-briefing
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /gate-news-briefing
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
