Install once, never update by hand

No endpoints to remember and no code. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and other tools that support Agent Skills can install it: send them the sentence below, then ask about AI news in plain words. New StarHOT capabilities reach an installed Skill automatically.

  1. 1

    Copy this and send it to your agent

    Install prompt
    Please install the StarHOT Skill: https://www.starhot.space/starhot-skill/README.md — then tell me whether I need to start a new session.

    It installs itself without touching your other Skills, and asks first if it finds an older copy.

  2. 2

    Start a new session

    Most agents only read Skills when a session starts.

  3. 3

    Ask a question

    What are the 5 most important AI stories of the past 24 hours?

    If the answer states its time range, gives summaries and links titles to StarHOT, it’s installed.

Then ask things like

What are the 5 most important AI stories of the past week?
What is the hottest story in AI right now?
Give me today’s AI brief.
What were the big AI stories this week?
What has OpenAI released recently?
What’s the backstory of the hottest story right now?

Install from the command line

bash
# Shared Agent Skills folder (Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode)
bash <(curl -fsSL https://www.starhot.space/starhot-skill/install.sh) --target agents
# Claude Code
bash <(curl -fsSL https://www.starhot.space/starhot-skill/install.sh) --target claude

Read install.sh and SKILL.md first if you like: they are short and only write one file. SKILL.md ↗ · install.sh ↗

Updating later

text
Please update my installed StarHOT Skill to the latest version: https://www.starhot.space/starhot-skill/README.md. First tell me which directory it is in and whether there are duplicate copies, then replace it in the same directory.

Not triggering? Check in this order

  • The file is named exactly SKILL.md and sits in a skills folder your agent supports.
  • Close the old session, open a new one and ask the test question again.
  • Ask your agent to list the Skills it found and check that starhot is there.
  • Still stuck: tell us your platform, version and install path on the feedback page — never send tokens or local files.

What it can’t do yet

  • Time windows are the past 24 hours and the past 7 days; older history search isn’t guaranteed.
  • The model leaderboard is web-only for now.
  • Agents get summaries, why-it-matters notes and links; full articles are read on the site.
