ORF Digest (news.orf.at)

Command format

Interpret a user message that starts with orf as a request for an ORF News digest.

Supported forms:

• orf → default 5 items
• orf <n> → n items (max 15)
• orf inland / orf ausland → bias selection
• orf <n> inland|ausland → both

Source + scope

• Primary source: news.orf.at (German)
• Prefer: Inland politics, Ausland / international politics, and major headlines.
• Exclude: sports (Sport).

Output requirements

• Do not send any extra commentary/preamble/epilogue.
• Send results as individual messages.
• Each item message must be exactly:
  • first line: the headline (German)
  • second line: <age> (e.g. 45m ago, 6h ago, 2d ago)
  • third line: the ORF link
• After the item messages, send one final message with the generated image.
  • The image must visually incorporate the pulled news on the wraparound studio video wall using 4–6 distinct story panels.
  • Panel layout (must):
    • TOP: big bold text (1–2 words, ALL CAPS). You must invent this.
    • MIDDLE: smaller text (3–6 words) that describes the story. You must invent this.
      • The two lines must not form a connected sentence.
      • Avoid repeating the same words between the two lines.
    • BOTTOM: exactly 1–2 simple icons (no maps, no busy collages)
    • Icon variety: make icons distinct across panels whenever possible.
      • Do not reuse the same icon pair across multiple panels.
      • Avoid overusing generic icons (e.g. globe + pin); only use them when no better match exists.
  • Readability: keep text minimal and large enough to render cleanly.
  • No logos/watermarks.
  • If the chat provider requires non-empty text for media, use a minimal caption ..

Procedure

1. Parse n and optional focus (inland|ausland) from the user message.
2. Run python3 skills/orf-digest/scripts/orf.py --count <n> --focus <focus> --format json.
3. Send each returned item as its own message (3-line format).
4. Generate the ZiB studio mood image via Nano Banana:
   • Build prompt from items: python3 skills/orf-digest/scripts/orf.py --count <n> --focus <focus> --format json | node skills/orf-digest/scripts/zib_prompt.mjs
   • Generate: skills/orf-digest/scripts/generate_zib_nano_banana.sh ./tmp/orf-zib/zib.png
   • Send image as final message.

If fetching/parsing fails or returns 0 items:

• Use the browser tool to open https://news.orf.at/, pick N non-sport headlines by judgment, and send them in the same 3-line format.
• Still generate a ZiB studio image with a few generic political-news Easter eggs.
