World Events Briefing

Use when the user wants a country / major-world-events news briefing ("全球时事简报") — armed conflicts, elections, disasters, business/economy, law/crime — pulled from Wikipedia's human-curated "Portal:Current events" daily pages and the GDELT DOC 2.0 article-search API. This is NOT the AI/tech skill (that's the sibling ai-news-briefing). One of only two Skills in the collection that calls the network (skill.json permissions.network=true) — it still needs zero user API keys. Offline fixture mode is available for fully deterministic, zero-network runs.

# World Events Briefing

「全球时事简报」— a country / major-world-events digest builder. NOT AI/tech
news (see the sibling `ai-news-briefing` skill for that). It fetches from two
anonymous, key-free public sources and merges them into one ranked-by-source
list plus a verbatim, human-readable digest.

## THE NETWORK EXCEPTION (read this first)

Most Skills in this collection are `permissions.network: false` and run
fully offline. **This Skill is one of the two documented exceptions**
(alongside `ai-news-briefing`): `skill.json` declares
`"permissions": {"network": true, ...}`. It is allowed to reach the network
because both endpoints it calls are anonymous and free — **no user API key
is ever required, read, or accepted.**

| Source | Endpoint | Auth |
|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia Current Events | `en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=wikitext` | none — public MediaWiki API |
| GDELT DOC 2.0 | `api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/doc/doc` | none — GDELT only asks callers to pace requests to 1/5s, automatically satisfied by this Skill's single call per run |

## Fixed Flow

1. Decide the window: `date` (default: yesterday UTC — "today" is
   frequently an empty skeleton page, confirmed live during development),
   optional `country` / `category` / `keywords` filters, `max_items`
   (default 20).
2. Call `world_events_briefing.py` with `{"mode": "brief", ...}`. It fetches
   Wikipedia Current Events and GDELT itself, normalizes, filters, dedupes,

AI Code Review Triage

laulauraluo/ai-code-review-triage

Review pull requests or diffs written by AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor) when reading every line no longer scales, or when the code looks clean but you don't trust it yet. Splits "reading the code" into three separate jobs (catch bugs, align context, own the sign-off) and runs a different process for each. Use for requests like "review this AI-generated PR", "can this diff be merged", "too many agent PRs to review", "check this before I approve", or "what should I verify before signing off". For a plain security/performance checklist use a general code-review skill inste

Detect AI-generated text by identifying characteristic patterns, phrases, and structural tells from LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. Use when the user wants to check if a text was written by AI, audit content for AI tells, clean up AI-generated writing to make it less detectable, understand what makes text sound AI-generated, or review emails, articles, reports, marketing copy, or any prose for AI markers.

AI Tell Detector

aragossa/ai-tell-detector

Audits a finished draft for the patterns that make text read as AI-generated — rhetorical symmetry, generic filler, uniform rhythm, over-resolved story arcs, missing human roughness, fabricated personal experience — and flags each one with a fix. Use before publishing anything, or when a draft "feels AI" but you can't say why.

Skill Guardian

0xtresser/skill-guardian

Pre-installation security gate for agent skills. This skill should be used when the user or agent attempts to install any skill — including requests like "install X", "add X skill", "help me set up the X skill", "npx skills add", or when the agent autonomously decides to install a skill. Also triggers on skill cleanup and audit requests like "clean up my skills", "check installed skills", "any unused skills", "review my skills", or "audit my skill list". Do NOT use for MCP server installation, npm/pip package installation, or non-skill tooling.
