Protocol

1. Use this curl comand to fetch front page stories using the Hacker News Algolia API.

curl -L "https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page" | python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
for hit in data['hits']:
    print(f\"{hit.get('objectID')} | {hit.get('title')} | {hit.get('points')} pts | {hit.get('num_comments')} comments | {hit.get('url')}\")
"

2. Filter out the top 5 articles that you think would be of interest to me.
3. Use parallel calls to tool read_webpage to get the contents of each article.
4. Summarize all the articles.

Output

Summarize all the articles in a bullet list. For each article:

• Include the article link, hacker news link, points, and comment count.
• Summarize the article content.

Do not use citations, that would be redundant since links are included already.

Use tool send_email_to_user to send me the summary, with an appropriate title that includes today's date and time.
