PROMPT

Create a skill called "Signal-Only News Digest". Build me a scheduled investing-news digest based on my holdings or watchlist. Filter out sensational or low-signal content and only keep developments that are materially relevant to the portfolio. Give me a digest format, source whitelist, noise blacklist, and a review cadence.

How It Works

This recipe is for compulsive checking and information overload.

Triggers

  • You check the market constantly
  • You cannot tell what news actually matters for your holdings
  • Financial media is increasing anxiety without improving decisions

Inputs

  • Holdings or watchlist
  • Desired digest frequency
  • Sources to include or exclude
  • What counts as a material update for your positions

Outputs

  • Scheduled digest
  • Source whitelist
  • Materiality rules
  • Noise blacklist

Steps / Actions

  1. Build a relevant source list.
  2. Define what qualifies as actionable information.
  3. Group updates into a digest at the requested cadence.
  4. Suppress low-signal alerts.

Failure Modes

  • Digest becomes another firehose because materiality rules are too loose
  • User keeps overriding the filter for entertainment
