Weekly Feed Brief
A feed-prompt template that turns your weekly briefing into topics you chose.
Uses
This config turns the assistant’s feed prompt setting into a briefing you control. You name the topics to follow, the sources you trust, and the sources or angles to skip. You also set how long a briefing runs and which day it arrives.
It lives in one place: the feed prompt field in your assistant settings. The install prompt shows you the filled-in snippet and waits for your confirmation before it writes anything there.
A week with no genuine update on any of your topics sends nothing. The config states that rule directly, so a quiet week doesn’t turn into a briefing padded with old news.
What it includes
- A YAML-style snippet with
topics_follow,sources_prefer,sources_skip,output_length, anddelivery_dayfields. - A stated location: the assistant’s feed prompt setting.
- A confirm-before-write step, and a quiet-week rule that suppresses empty briefings.
Example
Filled-in config:
topics_follow:
- "Federal Reserve rate decisions"
- "Changes to Section 8 housing subsidy rules"
- "Blackstone real estate moves"
sources_prefer:
- "The Real Deal"
- "Bisnow"
sources_skip:
- "general stock market commentary"
output_length: "short: 3-5 bullets"
delivery_day: "Monday morning"
A week’s briefing:
- The Fed held rates steady this week, citing housing-sector softness (Bisnow).
- No Section 8 rule changes this week.
- Blackstone announced a $2B acquisition of a logistics REIT (The Real Deal).
Before you install
- A shared skill carries somebody else's instructions. Read the source before you install it.
- Never paste an API key, password, or token into anything a skill asks for. Legitimate skills use Muse's own secure flows.
- Installing copies the setup into your own environment. It gives the author nothing.
What this one touches
Writes only to the assistant's own feed prompt setting, and only after you confirm the change. Never reads a file outside that setting. Never sends a topic, source, or preference to any third party. A week with nothing to report sends nothing.
Directions
Copy this block and paste it into your Muse chat. Muse does the install and confirms when it's done.
Ready. Press Load to copy the install prompt.
Full source
This is the exact text Muse installs. Read it. That's the whole trust model.
Ready.
