ichichuang AI Sniffer
Use this skill when you need current signals instead of stale model memory.
When To Use
- The user asks for the latest AI, agent, Vue, or Vite news.
- A cron briefing needs current input.
- You need fresh external evidence before making a recommendation.
Procedure
- Run the feed collector:
~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python ~/.hermes/scripts/frontier_digest.py
- Read the JSON output.
- Base your report on the collected items, not on memory alone.
- If one source is empty or failed, say so briefly and continue with the sources that succeeded.
Coverage
The collector currently fetches:
- filtered Hacker News stories for AI and agent infrastructure signals
- GitHub repository search signals for new AI code, agent frameworks, LLM frameworks, MCP/plugins, and RAG/apps
- latest GitHub releases for
vuejs/core - latest GitHub releases for
vitejs/vite
Pitfalls
- Do not claim a source was checked if the script failed.
- Do not invent dates; use the timestamps returned by the script.
- Treat GitHub release dates as authoritative for Vue and Vite updates.
- Treat GitHub repository search as a discovery signal, not as an official trending ranking.
Verification
- Confirm the script returned valid JSON.
- Confirm at least one section contains fresh items before writing a "latest" style summary.
- Prefer the Hermes venv wrapper above so interactive runs use the same Python environment as cron.
