newsletter-digest-brief

Turn a pile of newsletters and subscriptions into one skimmable brief — the items that matter to YOUR interests extracted with sources, the noise dropped with a count, on a cadence that replaces daily trickle-reading. Use when asked digest my newsletters, summarize what my subscriptions said this week, what did I miss that I actually care about, or make my reading pile useful. Produces the interest-filtered brief with per-item sources, the dropped-with-reasons ledger, and the cadence that makes trickle-reading obsolete.

# Newsletter Digest Brief Skill

Newsletters are individually reasonable and collectively unreadable — twelve arrivals a week, each 70% padding, each interrupting on its own schedule. The digest move: batch them (the [inbox-unsubscribe-purge](../inbox-unsubscribe-purge/SKILL.md) filter routes them to a label), then process the pile into *one brief* filtered by the reader's actual interests — items extracted with their source and why-it-matters, everything else dropped with a visible count so the reader trusts the filter instead of re-reading behind it.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The brief** — the items that matter to this reader's stated interests: one line of what + one of so-what + the source link
- **The dropped ledger** — "skipped 31 items: 12 promos, 9 repeats of the X story, 10 off-interest" — the trust mechanism
- **The repeat-collapse** — one story covered by four newsletters appears once, best-source-first
- **The cadence setting** — weekly for most; daily only for genuinely fast-moving beats
