Summary

Updated the NetNewsWire digest skill to provide more detailed article summaries and clarify when to fetch full pages. The changes improve the quality of digest output by requiring substantive summaries of article content rather than just topic descriptions, and make the web fetch strategy more explicit about when to attempt full-page retrieval.

Key Changes

  • Enhanced summary requirements: Summaries must now state the article's own content (what happened, what changed, its main claim) rather than just its topic
  • Improved Read now format: Changed from "one or two lines saying why it matters" to "one to two sentence summary of what the article says, then a line on why it matters"
  • Clarified Worth a skim format: Now explicitly requires "one to two sentence summary of what the article says" with the link
  • Better headline-only handling: Added explicit instruction to write "Headline only" instead of a summary when an item lacks sufficient text
  • Refined web fetch strategy: Clarified that full pages should be fetched only for items ranking "Read now" or "Worth a skim" when text is too thin, and only if a web fetch tool is available
  • Version bump: Updated plugin versions from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3

Implementation Details

The changes maintain backward compatibility while providing clearer guidance to the digest generation process. The new summary format ensures users get substantive information about article content, not just categorization, while the refined fetch strategy balances thoroughness with practical constraints.
