description: "News briefing. Use this skill ONLY when the user's query is exclusively about recent news or headlines with no other analysis dimensions. Trigger phrases: what happened recently, today's highlights, crypto news, any new updates. If the query ALSO mentions coin analysis, risk check, technicals, or any other analysis dimension, use gate-info-research instead — it handles multi-dimension queries in a single unified report."

# gate-news-briefing

## General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding.
Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority.
→ Read `./references/gate-runtime-rules.md`
→ Also read `./references/info-news-runtime-rules.md` for gate-info / gate-news shared rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, and output standards).
- **Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill.** Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they
  exist in the MCP server.

> The crypto industry "morning briefing" Skill. The user asks what's been happening; the system calls 3 MCP Tools in parallel to fetch major events + trending news + social sentiment, then the LLM aggregates into a layered news briefing.

**Trigger Scenarios**: User asks about recent/today's news, headlines, or what's been happening.

## Execution Workflow

### Step 0: Multi-Dimension Intent Check

Before executing this Skill, check if the user's query involves multiple analysis dimensions:

- If the query is exclusively about recent news or headlines, proceed with this Skill.
- If the query **also** mentions coin analysis, risk check, technicals, fundamentals, or any other analysis dimension beyond news, route to `gate-info-research` — it handles multi-dimension queries with unified tool deduplication and coherent report aggregation.

### Step 1: Intent Recognition & Parameter Extraction

Extract from user input:
- `coin` (optional): Whether a specific coin is targeted, e.g., "SOL news" → coin=SOL
- `time_range`: Time window (default: 24h; if user says "this week" → 7d)
- `topic` (optional): Whether focused on a specific topic (e.g., "regulation", "ETF", "DeFi")

### Step 2: Call 3 MCP Tools in Parallel

**General Briefing Mode** (no specific coin):

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | Parallel |
|------|----------|------------|----------------|----------|
| 1a | `news_events_get_latest_events` | `time_range={time_range}, limit=10` | Major event list (with impact rating) | Yes |
| 1b | `news_feed_search_news` | `sort_by="importance", limit=10, lang="en"` | Top news ranked by importance | Yes |
| 1c | `news_feed_get_social_sentiment` | (no specific coin) | Market-wide social sentiment overview | Yes |

**Coin-Specific Mode** (user specified a coin):

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | Parallel |
|------|----------|------------|----------------|----------|
| 1a | `news_events_get_latest_events` | `coin={coin}, time_range={time_range}, limit=10` | Events related to that coin | Yes |
| 1b | `news_feed_search_news` | `coin={coin}, sort_by="importance", limit=10` | News related to that coin | Yes |
| 1c | `news_feed_get_social_sentiment` | `coin={coin}` | Social sentiment for that coin | Yes |

### Step 3: LLM Aggregation

The LLM must:
1. De-duplicate events and news (the same event may appear in both feeds)
2. Rank by impact/importance
3. Categorize (Regulation, Projects, Market, Technology, etc.)
4. Combine with social sentiment to identify market focus areas

## De-duplication & Ranking Logic

| Rule | Description |
|------|-------------|
| Event-News de-duplication | If an event title closely matches a news headline (similarity > 80%), merge into one entry — events take priority |
| Importance ranking | Events ranked by impact rating; news ranked by `importance` field |
| Time ordering | At equal importance, reverse chronological (newest first) |
| Categorization | News auto-categorized: Regulation & Policy / Projects & Technology / Market & Trading / DeFi / Other |

---

## Error Handling

| Error Type | Handling |
|------------|----------|
| `news_events_get_latest_events` fails | Skip "Major Events" section; show news only |
| `news_feed_search_news` fails | Show events only; note "News feed temporarily unavailable" |
| `news_feed_get_social_sentiment` fails | Skip "Social Sentiment" section |
| All Tools fail | Return error message; suggest the user try again later |
| Too few news items (< 3) | Expand time range (e.g., 24h → 48h) and note the change |

---

## Cross-Skill Routing

| User Follow-up Intent | Route To |
|-----------------------|----------|
| "Why did XX pump/dump?" | `gate-news-eventexplain` |
| "Analyze XX for me" | `gate-info-coinanalysis` |
| "How's the overall market?" | `gate-info-marketoverview` |
| "Any new listings on Binance?" | `gate-news-listing` |
| "Tell me more about ETF" | Deep search via `news_feed_search_news(query="ETF")` |

## Safety Rules

1. **Source attribution**: Every news item must include the source (media name) and time
2. **No interpretive speculation**: News summaries must remain objective — no subjective extrapolation
3. **No fabricated news**: If data is insufficient, reduce the number of items rather than fabricate content
4. **Neutral handling of sensitive topics**: Maintain neutral tone when covering regulation, politics, or other sensitive subjects
5. **Timeliness labeling**: Clearly label the time range covered by the data
