newsletter-digest-brief
Turn a pile of newsletters and subscriptions into one skimmable brief — the items that matter to YOUR interests extracted with sources, the noise dropped with a count, on a cadence that replaces daily trickle-reading. Use when asked digest my newsletters, summarize what my subscriptions said this week, what did I miss that I actually care about, or make my reading pile useful. Produces the interest-filtered brief with per-item sources, the dropped-with-reasons ledger, and the cadence that makes trickle-reading obsolete.

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 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.
