What happened in AI today? — An AI news tracking skill that runs inside your coding agent. No Docker, no servers — just invoke /morning-ai in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Cursor, or any SKILL.md-compatible tool. Monitors 80+ entities across 6 sources, generates scored daily reports with optional infographics.
- Skill-Native — Runs inside your AI coding tool (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Cursor). No Docker, no servers, no extra infra — just
/morning-ai - Entity-Centric Tracking — 80+ curated entities across AI labs, model infra, coding agents, apps, vision/media, benchmarks, KOLs. Per-entity cross-platform handles (X, GitHub, HF, arXiv), not keyword search
- 6 Sources — Reddit, HN, GitHub, HuggingFace, arXiv, X/Twitter. All sources free — no API keys required
- Smart Scoring — Two-stage scoring: automated initial scoring from metadata (relevance, engagement, source reliability, recency), then agent evaluation across 5 qualitative dimensions (Impact, Differentiation, Breakthrough, Coverage, Timeliness). Score 7+ items auto-verified across multiple independent sources
- Custom Watchlists — Add your own entities via simple markdown files — no code changes needed
- 5 Infographic Styles —
classic,dark,glassmorphism,newspaper,tech— ready for social sharing - Message Digest — Concise, copy-paste-friendly digest with one-line summaries + links, optimized for WeChat, Telegram, Slack and other messaging platforms
- Scheduled & Unattended — Idempotent daily runs, no interactive prompts, partial success support
Here's what a MorningAI daily report looks like — 26 updates scored, deduplicated, and verified across multiple sources in under 50 seconds:

+- Step 1: python3 skills/tracking-list/scripts/collect.py -> data_{date}.json
| (5 sources, concurrent, score + dedupe)
| + Agent searches X/Twitter via web search
|
+- Step 2: Read skills/tracking-list/SKILL.md -> scoring & format spec
|
+- Step 3: Write report_{date}.md -> structured daily report
|
+- Step 4: (optional) Read skills/gen-infographic/SKILL.md -> cover image
|
+- Step 6: (optional) Read skills/gen-message/SKILL.md -> message digest + image
The Python collector runs 5 sources concurrently (Reddit, HN, GitHub, HuggingFace, arXiv), then scores, deduplicates, and cross-links results. The AI tool also searches X/Twitter via web search for tracked entities, then reads the JSON output and generates a formatted Markdown report.
# Step 1: Add marketplace source
marketplace add octo-patch/MorningAI
# Step 2: Install the plugin
/plugin install morning-ai
# Step 3: Restart Claude Code, then use
/morning-aiOr manual install:
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git ~/.claude/skills/morning-aiclawhub install morning-aiOpenCode auto-discovers skills from .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ directories — the same paths MorningAI already supports. Install as a skill:
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git ~/.config/opencode/skills/morning-aiOr use any of the compatible paths:
# Any of these work — OpenCode scans all three
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git ~/.config/opencode/skills/morning-ai
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git ~/.agents/skills/morning-ai
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git ~/.claude/skills/morning-aiThen invoke in OpenCode: type morning-ai or let the agent load the skill on demand.
Tip: OpenCode also reads
AGENTS.mdat the repo root. If you clone the repo into any project directory, OpenCode will auto-discover it.
Install directly from GitHub:
hermes skills install octo-patch/MorningAIOr clone manually:
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git ~/.agents/skills/morning-aiThen invoke in Hermes: type morning-ai or use /skills to browse installed skills.
Tip: Hermes also supports
AGENTS.mdauto-discovery. Clone the repo into your project and Hermes will find it.
If cloned or forked, Codex auto-discovers the plugin via .codex-plugin/plugin.json and AGENTS.md — no manual setup needed.
Or install as a skill:
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git ~/.agents/skills/morning-aiAGENTS.md at the repo root is an open standard recognized by Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes and more. Clone the repo and the tool will auto-discover it.
git clone https://github.com/octo-patch/MorningAI.git
cd MorningAICreate a config file at ~/.config/morning-ai/.env:
GITHUB_TOKEN=gh_xxx # GitHub (optional, higher rate limits)
MESSAGE_ENABLED=true # Message digest (optional, for messaging platforms)Without any API keys, all sources work out of the box: Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, HuggingFace, arXiv, and X/Twitter.
Track your own entities beyond the built-in 80+ by creating a markdown file:
cp entities/custom-example.md entities/custom/my-watchlist.mdEdit the file with your entities:
## My Startup
| Platform | Value |
|----------|-------|
| X | @my_startup, @founder |
| GitHub | my-startup-org |
| HuggingFace | my-startup |
| Reddit | MyStartup |Each entity starts with a ## Name heading followed by a | Platform | Value | table. Not all platforms are required — add only what you need. Supported platforms: X, GitHub, HuggingFace, arXiv, Web, Reddit, HN.
Custom entity files are loaded from (in priority order):
CUSTOM_ENTITIES_DIRenv var~/.config/morning-ai/entities/entities/custom/in the project directory
Files in entities/custom/ are gitignored, so your watchlists stay local.
Invoke the skill in your AI tool:
/morning-ai
Or run the collector standalone:
python3 skills/tracking-list/scripts/collect.py --date 2026-04-14 --output report.jsonSet IMAGE_STYLE in your .env to choose a visual style for generated infographics:
