Execution Mode Detection

CRITICAL: Check agent file availability first to determine execution mode.

Try to read: ../../agents/rust-daily-reporter.md


Agent Mode (Plugin Install)

When ../../agents/rust-daily-reporter.md exists:

Workflow
1. Read: ../../agents/rust-daily-reporter.md
2. Task(subagent_type: "general-purpose", run_in_background: false, prompt: <agent content>)
3. Wait for result
4. Format and present to user

Inline Mode (Skills-only Install)

When agent file is NOT available, execute each source directly:

1. Reddit r/rust
# Using agent-browser CLI
agent-browser open "https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/hot/"
agent-browser get text ".Post" --limit 10
agent-browser close

Or with WebFetch fallback:

WebFetch("https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/hot/", "Extract top 10 posts with scores and titles")

Parse output into:

ScoreTitleLink
2. This Week in Rust
# Check actionbook first
mcp__actionbook__search_actions("this week in rust")
mcp__actionbook__get_action_by_id(<action_id>)

# Then fetch
agent-browser open "https://this-week-in-rust.org/"
agent-browser get text "<selector_from_actionbook>"
agent-browser close

Parse output into:

  • Issue #{number} ({date}): highlights
3. Rust Blog (Official)
agent-browser open "https://blog.rust-lang.org/"
agent-browser get text "article" --limit 5
agent-browser close

Or with WebFetch fallback:

WebFetch("https://blog.rust-lang.org/", "Extract latest 5 blog posts with dates and titles")

Parse output into:

DateTitleSummary
4. Inside Rust
agent-browser open "https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/"
agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3
agent-browser close

Or with WebFetch fallback:

WebFetch("https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/", "Extract latest 3 posts with dates and titles")
5. Rust Foundation
# News
agent-browser open "https://rustfoundation.org/media/category/news/"
agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3
agent-browser close

# Blog
agent-browser open "https://rustfoundation.org/media/category/blog/"
agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3
agent-browser close

# Events
agent-browser open "https://rustfoundation.org/events/"
agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3
agent-browser close
Time Filtering

After fetching all sources, filter by time range:

RangeFilter
dayLast 24 hours
weekLast 7 days
monthLast 30 days
Combining Results

After fetching all sources, combine into the output format below.


Tool Chain Priority

Both modes use the same tool chain order:

  1. actionbook MCP - Check for cached/pre-fetched content first

    mcp__actionbook__search_actions("rust news {date}")
    mcp__actionbook__search_actions("this week in rust")
    mcp__actionbook__search_actions("rust blog")
    
  2. agent-browser CLI - For dynamic web content

    agent-browser open "<url>"
    agent-browser get text "<selector>"
    agent-browser close
    
  3. WebFetch - Fallback if agent-browser unavailable

SourcePrimary ToolFallback

TWIRactionbook → agent-browserWebFetch

DO NOT use:

  • Chrome MCP directly
  • WebSearch for fetching news pages

  • Report reason if all tools fail for a source
