## What it does

The skill spells out how an agent should call `https://60s.viki.moe/v2/60s` with GET. What comes back is JSON: the date, weekday, lunar date, a list of 15 news items with links, and a short quote for the day. Pass `date` as `YYYY-MM-DD` to pull a specific day's edition, or set `encoding` to `json`, `text`, `markdown`, `image` or `image-proxy` depending on what you want out.

No API key, no signup. The feed refreshes every 30 minutes. Ask for a date with no data and the service falls back across the last 3 days on its own, so an empty result for an old date is expected behaviour. Images via `encoding=image` can fail to load; the documented workaround is `image-proxy`, which streams the binary back directly.

Python snippets using `requests` ship with the skill: one builds a morning message for a bot, another returns the first few headlines as a summary, a third looks up an archived date. The response shape is stable, so parsing is straightforward. Everything in the feed is Chinese.
