Automated summary
This skill queries Google News via RSS to retrieve up to ten recent articles on a topic, then summarizes the results with source and link.
Strengths
- Simple interface: a single `query` parameter passed as JSON
- Structured, actionable results (title, source, publish date, link)
- Explicit instruction to cite each article's publisher and link
- Handles the "No results found." case by suggesting alternative search terms
Limitations
- Restricted to news and press articles — unsuitable for technical or documentation research
- Capped at 10 articles per query, with no pagination or date/language filters
- Fully dependent on an external search tool that the skill does not provide itself
When you need a quick snapshot of recent news coverage on a topic, with links back to the original articles.
Security analysis

It declares no tools, contains no executable commands, no file or network operations performed by the agent itself, and no credential handling, obfuscation, or destructive instructions.

title: The headline of the news article.source: The publisher or news organization.published: The date the article was published.link: A URL pointing directly to the article.
Guidelines for the Assistant

- Synthesize Results: Read through the returned article titles and sources to provide a coherent summary or list to the user.
- Cite Your Sources: Always include the publisher (
source) and provide thelinkso the user can read more. - Handle Missing Data: If the tool returns
"No results found.", inform the user and suggest alternative search terms.
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/google-news-web-search-mrzxuqck/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/google-news-web-search-mrzxuqck' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/google-news-web-search-mrzxuqck/download' --output '.skill-downloads/google-news-web-search-mrzxuqck/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/google-news-web-search-mrzxuqck/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/google-news-web-search-mrzxuqck/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/google-news-web-search-mrzxuqck/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
