Karpathy RSS Daily Skill

Stop drowning in AI news. Get a structured daily briefing curated from Andrej Karpathy's reading list — automatically generated by AI.

The Problem

The AI field moves at breakneck speed. Hundreds of papers, blog posts, product launches, and tweets every day. Even following the right people on Twitter isn't enough — you still need to read, filter, and synthesize.

The result? You either spend hours doom-scrolling or miss important developments entirely.

The Solution

Andrej Karpathy — one of the most respected voices in AI — maintains a carefully curated set of RSS sources covering the most important AI publications and blogs. This skill turns that curated feed into a structured daily briefing with one command.

1. Karpathy-Curated Sources — Only the feeds that matter, selected by someone who deeply understands the field
2. AI-Powered Synthesis — Reads full articles, extracts key points, identifies themes
3. Structured Output — Organized by topic with data summaries and editorial observations
4. Real-time Data — Fetches live RSS content via YouMind RSS Pack, always up to date

Data powered by YouMind RSS Pack — reliable feed aggregation for AI-native workflows.

Example Conversations

You: "Give me today's AI briefing"
AI:  → Fetches Karpathy's RSS feeds → Reads top articles → Generates structured briefing

You: "What's new in AI today?"
AI:  → Same flow, detects language, outputs accordingly

You: "Any recent progress on LLM reasoning?"
AI:  → Fetches feeds → Filters for reasoning/inference topics → Focused briefing

You: "Summarize this week's AI highlights"
AI:  → Expands to 7-day window → Weekly digest

Use with OpenClaw 🦞

This skill is a perfect fit for OpenClaw as an automated daily cron job. Set it up once, and wake up to a fresh AI briefing in your Telegram/Discord/Slack every morning.

Quick Setup

Step 1: Install the skill

npx skills i YouMind-OpenLab/karpathy-rss-daily-skill

Step 2: Create a cron job

Just paste this into your OpenClaw chat:

I want a daily AI news briefing using the karpathy-rss-daily-skill. Fetch the RSS feeds from https://youmind.com/rss/pack/andrej-karpathy-curated-rss, read the top stories from the past 24 hours, and send me a structured briefing with key themes, takeaways, and editor's notes. Set this up as a daily cron job.

OpenClaw will then:

1. Detect your language automatically and confirm it with you
2. Suggest a default time (8:00 AM in your timezone) and ask if you'd like to change it
3. Create the cron job with your preferences

After that, OpenClaw will automatically:

• Create an isolated cron job on the schedule you specified
• Fetch and synthesize Karpathy's curated feeds daily
• Deliver the briefing to your connected chat (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.)

That's it. No code, no config files, no API keys. Just tell your agent what you want.

Example Cron Configuration

For those who prefer manual setup via the OpenClaw config or CLI:

{
  "name": "karpathy-daily-briefing",
  "schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 8 * * *", "tz": "America/New_York" },
  "sessionTarget": "isolated",
  "payload": {

Output in English. (Change to: Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, etc.)",
    "timeoutSeconds": 180
  },
