Why a custom skill beats a one-off prompt for newsletter triage
Newsletters are an accumulating practice. You subscribe, some become must-reads, some get forgotten. The skill knows yours specifically: it knows Stratechery is a must, that on Lenny you mostly catch the process pieces, and that you only fall on Platformer during slow weeks. A one-off prompt does not know your taste.
What makes this skill specifically yours
- Your subscription list: not someone else's. The skill knows which are must-read, which are extras, and which are unsubscribe candidates.
- Your topics: AI, product, leadership, psychology. The skill groups by your topics, not by generic categories.
- Your time budget: 15 minutes on Friday? An hour? The digest is shaped to your time, not to the volume of content available.
Three things to include in your description
- Your newsletter list: 10-30 you subscribe to, each tagged "must-read / sometimes / abandoned".
- Your hot topics: 4-8 topics you want surfaced at the top of the digest.
- The digest shape: three paragraphs? bullet list? a long email? Whatever lands best for you.
What this skill is NOT
This is not an RSS reader, not Feedly. It does not store newsletters and is not an archive search engine. It runs once a week, summarizes what piled up, and helps you decide what to read in full vs. skip.
