# Protocol
1. Use this curl comand to fetch front page stories using the Hacker News Algolia API.
```bash
curl -L "https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page" | python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
for hit in data['hits']:
print(f\"{hit.get('objectID')} | {hit.get('title')} | {hit.get('points')} pts | {hit.get('num_comments')} comments | {hit.get('url')}\")
"
```
2. Filter out the top 5 articles that you think would be of interest to me.
3. Use parallel calls to `tool read_webpage` to get the contents of each article.
4. Summarize all the articles.
# Output
Summarize all the articles in a bullet list. For each article:
- Include the article link, hacker news link, points, and comment count.
- Summarize the article content.
Do not use citations, that would be redundant since links are included already.
Use `tool send_email_to_user` to send me the summary, with an appropriate title that includes today's date and time.
