CCTV News Fetcher

**Quick judgement** A focused and useful skill for retrieving and summarizing CCTV Xinwen Lianbo news by date, especially valuable for users interested in Chinese state media coverage or building automated daily briefings. Its design is straightforward but depends heavily on the external CCTV website structure and on the presence of Bun/Node in the environment. **What it does well** - Fetches CCTV news highlights for a given date, including support for relative dates like "today" and "yesterday". - Uses a dedicated crawler (`news_crawler.js`) and HTML parsing to return structured JSON, enabling grouping into "Domestic" and "International" news. - Fits nicely into agents that provide daily news recaps, media monitoring, or China-focused analysis. **Key risks / limitations** - **Fragile to site changes**: If CCTV’s HTML structure, URLs, or response format changes, the crawler can break, returning empty or malformed results. - **Runtime dependency**: Requires Bun (or Node) and `node-html-parser` to be installed and correctly configured; on environments without Bun, the skill may fail outright. - **Date handling edge cases**: "Today"/"yesterday" logic depends on the runtime’s local time; this may not match the user’s timezone, leading to off-by-one-day results around midnight or across timezones. - **Network / regional access**: Accessing CCTV may be blocked, slow, or filtered in some regions or environments, affecting reliability. - **Content bias**: CCTV is a state-run outlet; content is politically curated and may reflect government narratives and propaganda. Summaries should not be treated as neutral or comprehensive coverage of events. **Recommended scenarios** - Agents that provide **daily summaries of Chinese state TV news**, especially for users who follow Xinwen Lianbo. - **Media monitoring and research tools** that aggregate coverage from multiple outlets, where this skill provides the CCTV component. - **Analytical or educational contexts** where understanding how Chinese state media reports on events is important. **Less suitable for** - Mission-critical workflows requiring high uptime and stability, due to dependence on external site layout and Bun availability. - Users seeking broad, multi-perspective news coverage; this is a single-source, state-controlled feed and should be complemented with other sources for balance.
