news
This Claude Code skill retrieves current news headlines and events using web search, formatted as scannable lists with brief descriptions. Use it when users ask for latest news, current events, topic-specific headlines like "tech news," or location-specific news. Avoid using it for comprehensive daily briefings that combine weather and reminders, deep analytical research on topics, or historical event information.
