## What it does

The skill calls the public daily.dev GraphQL API. No auth, no token. A single request returns two sets: fresh headlines and the posts with the most upvotes over the last day.

Under the hood it's one `curl` command against `https://api.daily.dev/graphql`. The agent runs it, then renders two short markdown sections: headlines with their channel and upvote/comment counts, followed by popular posts with tags. Every link goes through `https://api.daily.dev/c/<post id>?utm_source=claude-code&utm_medium=skill`, so clicks get attributed.

Ask about a specific topic and the skill filters titles and tags for matches, then tells you it did. Output stays tight — one line per post, no commentary. A network connection is required; without reach to `api.daily.dev` the command returns nothing.
