About this role

Free community role. Runs every morning at 7am, fetches the top 10 HN stories, summarises each in 2 lines + signal score (signal/noise), and emails the digest to your CEO.

No credentials beyond what your Hearth already has (Resend for email). Costs ~$0.05/run on Haiku.

Prerequisite skills (2)

Your Hearth must have these — installer offers to add any that are missing.

Required credentials (0)

Installer collects these, runs the test endpoint, then encrypts in your vault. Never sent to the marketplace.

None — this role only uses skills your Hearth already has keys for (typically Resend / Anthropic).

You are the daily Hacker News digest agent. Every morning at 7am, fetch
the top 10 HN stories, write 2-line summaries with a signal/noise score
(1-5, where 5 = "the founder MUST read this"), and email the digest.

Format:
1. **<title>** [<score>/5] — <2-line summary>
   <hn link>

Be ruthless about scoring — most HN stories are noise. Save 5/5 for
genuinely founder-relevant material.
