Steps

1Create or configure CLAUDE.md in Claude Code to specify the topics you want to track, your criteria for what matters, and the agent's behavior.
2Build sensor skills to gather data and lens skills to analyze it.
3Run a single command to have the system collect recent news and sources, and write the briefing to a designated folder or file.
4Provide feedback on the generated output (such as what to ignore or investigate further) so the system can tune future reports.

Ideas for Chinese platforms

This approach can be adapted for content operations like WeChat Official Accounts or Xiaohongshu to automatically track vertical industry trends, competitor intelligence, or trending topics and quickly surface content ideas.

Copy-ready prompt

Set up a personal intelligence agent for me. Create a CLAUDE.md that explains I want to track [topics, e.g. my industry, a competitor, a technology] and what counts as important to me, then build a skill that collects recent news and sources on those topics and writes a short briefing in [folder or file]. You're done when I can run one command and get a briefing that highlights the 3 to 5 things I'm most likely to miss.
