What it does
Daily digest of AI releases from Anthropic, Meta, Vercel Labs, OpenAI and Google GitHub repos, the Claude Cowork changelog, the claude.dev blog and Hacker News, deduplicated against a local state file and sent by email. Use when the user asks for a daily AI news digest, to scan AI labs for new releases, or to set up a scheduled release-hunter job.
AI Release Hunter (Anthropic + Meta + Vercel + OpenAI + Google + Hacker News)
Scans the public AI repos of Anthropic, Meta, Vercel Labs, OpenAI and Google on GitHub, plus the Claude Cowork changelog, the claude.dev blog and Hacker News, and emails a digest of the day's relevant movements. Designed to run once a day as a scheduled job (cron, a Claude Code routine, or /loop).
Configuration
Set these before the first run. Every path is relative to the working directory unless you choose otherwise.
| Setting | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
RECIPIENT_EMAIL | (required) | Address that receives the digest |
SEND_COMMAND | (required) | Command that sends an email given a recipient, subject and body file (e.g. a Gmail CLI, mail or sendmail; to send through an MCP tool instead, add it to allowed-tools) |
STATE_DIR | .release-hunter/state/ | Deduplication state (seen.json) |
SNAPSHOT_DIR | .release-hunter/snapshots/ | Page snapshots (Vercel Labs, Cowork changelog) |
OUTPUT_DIR | .release-hunter/output/ | Email bodies and run logs |
EMAIL_LANGUAGE | Spanish | Language of the email |
EMAIL_SUBJECT | IA: novedades del día (Anthropic + Meta + Vercel + OpenAI + Google + Hacker News) | Subject line |
AUDIENCE | the user's audience | Who the "why it matters" lines are written for (e.g. a YouTube channel, a team) |
Suggested schedule: daily at ~08:00 in the user's time zone.
Add .release-hunter/ to .gitignore so state, snapshots and email bodies are never committed. The scan makes well over 60 GitHub API calls per run, so a GITHUB_TOKEN is strongly recommended (see below).
