rust-daily

Aggregates Rust community news and updates from multiple sources, filtered by time range. Fetches from five primary sources: Reddit r/rust, This Week in Rust, official Rust blog, Inside Rust, and Rust Foundation news/blog/events Supports three time ranges (day, week, month) and category filtering (all, ecosystem, official, foundation) Operates in two modes: agent-based (if rust-daily-reporter.md exists) or inline (direct source fetching via agent-browser, actionbook MCP, or WebFetch) Combines results into a structured markdown report with scores, dates, titles, and summaries organized by source category

Parameters

  • time_range: day | week | month (default: week)
  • category: all | ecosystem | official | foundation

Execution Mode Detection

CRITICAL: Check agent file availability first to determine execution mode.

Try to read: ../../agents/rust-daily-reporter.md

Agent Mode (Plugin Install)

**When ../../agents/rust-daily-reporter.md exists:**

Workflow

1. Read: ../../agents/rust-daily-reporter.md

2. Task(subagent_type: "general-purpose", run_in_background: false, prompt: <agent content>)

3. Wait for result

4. Format and present to user

Inline Mode (Skills-only Install)

When agent file is NOT available, execute each source directly:

1. Reddit r/rust

# Using agent-browser CLI

agent-browser open "https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/hot/"

agent-browser get text ".Post" --limit 10

agent-browser close

Or with WebFetch fallback:

WebFetch("https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/hot/", "Extract top 10 posts with scores and titles")

Parse output into:

Score

Title

Link

2. This Week in Rust

# Check actionbook first

mcp__actionbook__search_actions("this week in rust")

mcp__actionbook__get_action_by_id(<action_id>)

# Then fetch

agent-browser open "https://this-week-in-rust.org/"

agent-browser get text "<selector_from_actionbook>"

agent-browser close

Parse output into:

  • Issue #{number} ({date}): highlights

3. Rust Blog (Official)

agent-browser open "https://blog.rust-lang.org/"

agent-browser get text "article" --limit 5

agent-browser close

Or with WebFetch fallback:

WebFetch("https://blog.rust-lang.org/", "Extract latest 5 blog posts with dates and titles")

Parse output into:

Date

Title

Summary

4. Inside Rust

agent-browser open "https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/"

agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3

agent-browser close

Or with WebFetch fallback:

WebFetch("https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/", "Extract latest 3 posts with dates and titles")

5. Rust Foundation

# News

agent-browser open "https://rustfoundation.org/media/category/news/"

agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3

agent-browser close

# Blog

agent-browser open "https://rustfoundation.org/media/category/blog/"

agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3

agent-browser close

# Events

agent-browser open "https://rustfoundation.org/events/"

agent-browser get text "article" --limit 3

agent-browser close

Time Filtering

After fetching all sources, filter by time range:

Range

Filter

day

Last 24 hours

week

Last 7 days

month

Last 30 days

Combining Results

After fetching all sources, combine into the output format below.

Tool Chain Priority

Both modes use the same tool chain order:

-

actionbook MCP - Check for cached/pre-fetched content first

mcp__actionbook__search_actions("rust news {date}")

mcp__actionbook__search_actions("this week in rust")

mcp__actionbook__search_actions("rust blog")

-

agent-browser CLI - For dynamic web content

agent-browser open "<url>"

agent-browser get text "<selector>"

agent-browser close

-

WebFetch - Fallback if agent-browser unavailable

Source

Primary Tool

Fallback

Reddit

agent-browser

WebFetch

TWIR

actionbook → agent-browser

WebFetch

Rust Blog

actionbook → WebFetch

-

Foundation

actionbook → WebFetch

DO NOT use:

  • Chrome MCP directly
  • WebSearch for fetching news pages
