## Purpose Generate a personalized news briefing tailored to your interests. You tell Claw what topics you care about and how you want the output—Claw searches the web and delivers a clean, structured digest of the most relevant stories from the past 24-48 hours. **Requires:** Tavily MCP (for live web search).

Change topics · 4. Change everything · 5. Done --- ## Common Pitfalls **Pitfall 1 — Too many topics:** After Step 3, if total subtopics > 10, offer: Prioritize top 8 / Keep all + Headlines-only / Keep all + full depth. **Pitfall 2 — Stale results:** Always include `latest` in queries. Flag stories > 72 hours old. **Pitfall 3 — Duplicate stories:** File each story under the single most relevant topic. **Pitfall 4 — Opinion pieces:** Prioritize primary sources. Label op-eds explicitly. **Pitfall 5 — Skipping language/depth:** Step 4 is MANDATORY for every run. **Pitfall 6 — Tavily not connected:** Offer training-knowledge fallback with cutoff caveat.
