Aggregating Crypto News

Overview

Aggregate cryptocurrency news from 50+ authoritative sources via RSS feeds with real-time scanning, coin/category filtering, and relevance scoring.

Prerequisites

  1. Python 3.8+ installed
  2. Dependencies: pip install feedparser requests
  3. Internet connectivity for RSS feed access

Instructions

  1. Assess user intent - determine filters needed:

    • General news: no filters, use defaults
    • Coin-specific: extract symbol (BTC, ETH, etc.)
    • Category-specific: extract category (defi, nft, regulatory, etc.)
    • Time-specific: extract window (1h, 4h, 24h, 7d)

  2. Run the aggregator with appropriate filters:

    # Default scan (top 20, past 24h, relevance sorted)
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py

# Coin-specific scan
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin BTC --period 4h

# Category filter
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --category defi --top 30

# Multiple filters
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin ETH --category defi --period 24h --top 15

  3. Export results for downstream processing:

    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --format json --output news.json

  4. Present results to the user:

    • Show source, title, age, and relevance score
    • Highlight market-moving keywords if present
    • Provide links for full articles
    • Summarize meta information (sources checked, articles found)

Output

Table showing articles ranked by relevance score (0-100) based on market-moving keyword detection, source authority, and recency:

Examples

Filtering patterns for common news monitoring scenarios:

# Latest crypto news (defaults)
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py

# Bitcoin news from past 4 hours
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin BTC --period 4h

# DeFi category news
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --category defi

# High-relevance news only
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --min-score 70 --top 10

# Multiple coins
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coins BTC,ETH,SOL

cache-components

Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.
