Skill: What Matters Today (Location & Time Briefing)

Objective: Provide a highly relevant, high-signal briefing on events happening in a specific location within a specific timeframe (e.g., "the past 24 hours in Hong Kong"), backed by primary video sources.

Execution Steps:

  • Time Context: Use get_current_date_time and get_date_range (or calculate it yourself if the user asks for exactly 24 hours) to determine the exact RFC 3339 timestamp for the cutoff.
  • Locate: Use search_youtube to find news or vlogs about the location.
  • CRITICAL: You MUST aggressively apply the advanced filters. Pass the date from step 1 into published_after. Pass the relevant country code to region_code (e.g., 'HK' for Hong Kong). If appropriate, filter by relevance_language.
  • Filter & Rank: Use get_video_details and calculate_engagement_metrics to fetch the views and engagement stats for these breaking videos.
  • *Action*: Discard low-engagement spam, auto-generated news bot channels, or clickbait. Only keep highly relevant, verified, or viral news sources with strong engagement.
  • Ingest (Optional but Preferred): Use get_video_transcript on the top 2-3 news clips to "read" the actual news story. Do not rely solely on clickbait titles.
  • Deliver: Present a structured "Daily Briefing". Summarize the 3-5 key events that happened in that location. For each event, provide a 2-sentence summary and the direct link to the source video (or a timestamped URL if the news segment is part of a longer broadcast).

Next Actions: Ask the user if they want to dive deeper into any specific news story by pulling its comments/sentiment, or if they want to publish the briefing as an HTML report.
