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.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Improves the quality of images, especially screenshots, by enhancing resolution, sharpness, and clarity. Perfect for preparing images for presentations, documentation, or social media posts.

Downloads videos from YouTube and other platforms for offline viewing, editing, or archival. Handles various formats and quality options.

Lightweight WSI tile extraction and preprocessing. Use for basic slide processing tissue detection, tile extraction, stain normalization for H&E images. Best for simple pipelines, dataset preparation, quick tile-based analysis. For advanced spatial proteomics, multiplexed imaging, or deep learning pipelines use pathml.

Microscopy data management platform. Access images via Python, retrieve datasets, analyze pixels, manage ROIs/annotations, batch processing, for high-content screening and microscopy workflows.

Python library for working with DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files. Use this skill when reading, writing, or modifying medical imaging data in DICOM format, extracting pixel data from medical images (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound), anonymizing DICOM files, working with DICOM metadata and tags, converting DICOM images to other formats, handling compressed DICOM data, or processing medical imaging datasets. Applies to tasks involving medical image analysis, PACS systems, radiology workflows, and healthcare imaging applications.

This skill should be used when working with pre-trained transformer models for natural language processing, computer vision, audio, or multimodal tasks. Use for text generation, classification, question answering, translation, summarization, image classification, object detection, speech recognition, and fine-tuning models on custom datasets.
