Is the AI News skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from dannote/dot-pi. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the AI News SkillProof Score?

7.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install AI News?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use AI News with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 7.6/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 9aa3268

Hardcodes the author's personal curated X list ID (1894700501725229467) and requires a paid @dannote/bird-premium X API v2 subscription, so it produces nothing for anyone else until they swap in their own list ID and API access - the categorization/noise-filtering logic itself is genuinely well specified once that's done.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What AI News does

Pages through a hardcoded X/Twitter list via the @dannote/bird-premium CLI, filters out marketing/hiring/retweet noise, and formats the last 24 hours of AI announcements into Releases, Papers, Insights, and Tools sections with source links. Triggers on requests for an AI news digest or 'what's happening in AI.'
