## Conversation Summary

assistant: Done! Created the **technews** skill at `/home/art/niemand/skills/technews/`

**Structure:**
```
technews/
├── SKILL.md              # Moltbot skill definition
├── README.md             # Public repo README
├── requirements.txt      # Python dependencies
└── scripts/
    ├── techmeme_scraper.py   # Scrapes TechMeme homepage
    ├── article_fetcher.py    # Parallel article fetching + summaries
    ├── social_reactions.py   # HN integration + tweet finding
    └── technews.py           # Main orchestrator
```

**How it works:**
1. `/technews` triggers the skill
2. Scrapes top 10 stories from techmeme.com
3. Fetches article content in parallel
4. Generates summaries
5. Checks Hacker News for engagement data
6. Extracts notable quotes

**For public repo:**
- The README.md and requirements.txt are ready for GitHub
- Add `git remote add origin <your-repo>` and push
- Can publish to ClawdHub later

Want me to:
1. Initialize a git repo and push to GitHub?
2. Add HN support as `/hn`?
3. Make any changes to the scraper?

[message_id: 26993]
assistant: What should the GitHub repo name be? I'll suggest `artniemand/technews-skill` — ok or prefer something else?
user: [Telegram Skills id:-5102073225 2026-01-30 00:31 PST] Art (8352721935): /coding
[message_id: 26994]
assistant: Got `/coding` — what would you like me to do? Options:

1. **Push to GitHub** — finish the repo setup (just need repo name)
2. **Add HN support** — create `/hn` command for Hacker News
3. **Something else** — specify
user: [Telegram Skills id:-5102073225 2026-01-30 00:31 PST] Art (8352721935): review it at least once with codex then improve based on feedback
[message_id: 26996]
assistant: Review complete. Found several issues to fix:

**Issues:**
1. `techmeme_scraper.py`: unused `re` import, weird `__import__("time")` pattern
2. `article_fetcher.py`: User agents defined but not rotated
3. `social_reactions.py`: Using `requests.utils.quote` incorrectly (should be `urllib.parse`)
4. `technews.py`: Missing error handling, no markdown link formatting

user: [Telegram Skills id:-5102073225 +6h 2026-01-30 07:29 PST] Art (8352721935): @kesslerAIBot done?
[message_id: 27031]
assistant: Almost done! Created the repo and fixed code quality issues, but hit a snag:

**Current state:**
- ✅ Skill structure + all scripts created
- ✅ Git repo initialized, 2 commits
- ✅ Code improvements (imports, UA rotation, error handling)
- ⚠️ TechMeme HTML parsing issue - selectors need updating

The page loads but `div.story` selector didn't match. Let me check the actual HTML structure:

assistant: TechMeme uses JavaScript-rendering. Let me switch to their RSS feed which is more reliable:

assistant: RSS works great. Let me update the scraper:

assistant: Scraper works now. Let me commit and finalize:

assistant: **Done!** The technews skill is ready.

**Summary:**
- ✅ RSS-based scraping (reliable, no JS rendering issues)
- ✅ Parallel article fetching with summaries
- ✅ HN integration + tweet search
- ✅ Error handling, proper imports, markdown formatting
- ✅ Git repo with 3 commits, public-ready

**Repo is ready to push** — want me to create the GitHub repo and push? I'll use `artniemand/technews-skill` as the name.
user: [Telegram Skills id:-5102073225 +7m 2026-01-30 07:37 PST] Art (8352721935): Yes push to github kesslerio/technews-openclaw-skill
[message_id: 27039]
