What it does
Aggregates and curates security news from six authoritative sources into a ranked, deduplicated digest across Security News, Research, and Ideas, with stateful tracking to avoid re-surfacing seen items. USE WHEN security news, security updates, breaches, sec updates, tldrsec, Krebs, Schneier, weekly security digest, CISO strategy. NOT FOR stack-specific CVE prioritization against your own tech stack (use your own vulnerability-management tooling), or AI industry news (Upgrade NewsDigest).
SecurityUpdates
Aggregates security news from six authoritative sources (§ Sources) into a ranked, deduplicated digest of up to 32 items across three categories: Security News, Security Research, and Security Ideas. A per-item record of what each run showed, kept in last-check.json by Tools/Digest.ts, avoids re-surfacing seen items, so a weekly run shows only what is new instead of the overlapping stories six sites publish on their own cadences.
Ideal State
- A run returns at most 32 items, deduplicated across sources, ranked within News, Research and Ideas, each attributed to its source, and none fabricated.
- Nothing surfaced on an earlier run surfaces again, dated or not: every shown item's key is recorded in
MEMORY/STATE/SecurityUpdates-last-check.jsonafter each successful run, and the next run's candidates are filtered against it byTools/Digest.ts(Intents/Update.md§ Tool contract). - Items come only from the configured sources: the six defaults in
sources.json, swapped or extended through PREFERENCES.md.
Intent Routing
| Intent | Trigger | File |
|---|---|---|
| Update | "security updates", "sec updates", "/secupdates", "what's new in security" | Intents/Update.md |
Default: Run the Update intent.
| File | Read when |
|---|---|
Setup.md | first-time setup: the smallest working PREFERENCES.md, accounts (none) and the proof command |
Tools/Digest.help.md | the state filter, recorder and digest check the Update intent runs |
Data & Config
User customizations, read before each run:
<configRoot>/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/SecurityUpdates/PREFERENCES.md
configRoot is $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR when set, else ~/.claude.
