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
- Build a relevant source list.
- Define what qualifies as actionable information.
- Group updates into a digest at the requested cadence.
- Suppress low-signal alerts.
Failure Modes
- Digest becomes another firehose because materiality rules are too loose
- User keeps overriding the filter for entertainment
