Search News

SkillSearch

Search news results through the configured self-hosted SearXNG instance for recent events, current reporting, headlines, and time-sensitive source discovery.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Search News skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by hybridaione/hybridclaw in skills/search.news/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill when the user asks for news, latest reporting, headlines, recent events, current developments, or time-sensitive source discovery.

Workflow

  1. Call web_search with:
    • provider: "searxng"
    • categories: "news"
    • the user's news query
    • freshness: "day" or freshness: "week" when the user asks for recent/latest news and no tighter window is specified.
    • count, country, or language only when the user asks for them or they are clearly implied.
  2. Return the most relevant news results with title, URL, age/date when available, and a short snippet.
  3. Use web_fetch after web_search before making factual claims beyond the snippets.

Constraints

  • Do not use hosted news search providers for this skill unless the user explicitly asks to leave the sovereign SearXNG path.
  • Make recency explicit when reporting news.
  • If SearXNG is not configured, say that the self-hosted news search provider is unavailable and include the tool error.
