BestBlogs Weekly Picks Curation

Skill Overview

BestBlogs Weekly Picks Curation is an automated content curation workflow that intelligently selects approximately 20 high-quality articles from the current week’s content on BestBlogs.dev, organizes them by AI subcategories, and generates high-quality bilingual weekly newsletter titles and recommendations based on the original articles.

Use Cases

Regular Newsletter Production

When you need to create a weekly content newsletter for an AI community, team, or individual readers, this skill can automatically select the 20 most worthwhile articles from 200–400 pieces of content published during the week, significantly improving curation efficiency.

Curated Content Collections

When creating a high-quality AI content collection or special topic roundup, this skill evaluates content quality, importance, and relevance across multiple dimensions, ensuring the authority and value of the selected content.

Newsletter Content Production

When creating a bilingual newsletter for subscribers, this skill generates in-depth recommendations based on the full original articles rather than summaries alone. It also references the style of previous issues to support bilingual Chinese-English output.

Core Features

Intelligent Content Selection

Retrieves the week’s candidate content from BestBlogs.dev (200–400 items), evaluates it across multiple dimensions—including content quality, information importance, reader relevance, and source authority—and recommends a shortlist of 30–40 candidates for user confirmation, from which approximately 20 articles are ultimately selected. Supports multi-condition filtering by score, type, language, and more.

Categorization and Curation

Automatically organizes content into four AI subcategories: Models & Research (MODELS), Development & Tools (DEV), Product & Design (PRODUCT), and News & Reports (NEWS). Each category defaults to five articles, with flexible quota adjustments supported to ensure comprehensive and balanced coverage.

Bilingual Recommendation Generation

Based on the full original text of selected articles (retrieved through a Markdown API), and informed by the style of previous newsletters, the skill generates high-quality Chinese and English titles and recommendations. It supports complete newsletter structures, including topic extraction, integration of personal updates, distillation of 10 highlights, and fixed-format closing sections.
