Plan batches accordingly. ## When to use Trigger phrases: - 全球新闻 / 全球事件 / 多语种新闻 - 媒体 tone / sentiment trend / 国际关系 - geopolitical / event tone - GDELT Useful for "what is the world saying about X right now" — i.e. retrieving articles from non-English / non-financial sources that don't surface in Longbridge's curated newsfeed. ## Workflow 1. Build a query in GDELT DSL (the user's term, optionally with operators like `domain:bloomberg.com`, `sourcelang:eng`). 2. Pick a mode: - `artlist` — list of articles (default). - `timelinetone` — per-15-min tone time series (-10 = very negative, +10 = very positive). - `timelinevol` / `timelinevolinfo` — article volume over time. - `tonechart` — tone histogram. 3. Specify the window — prefer `--start`/`--end` (absolute), fall back to `--timespan`. The script converts relative timespans to absolute timestamps before the call a

What does the gdelt skill do?
Global multilingual news event stream with tone scoring via GDELT 2.0 Doc API.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add kansoku-trade/kansoku --skill gdelt --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From kansoku-trade/kansoku, a repository with 272 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
