A Muse agent skill with read-only access to the news: top headlines by country and full-text search across news articles. It only reads news — it never writes, modifies, or sends anything. Free tier: 100 requests/day (development use), so the skill keeps limits small. Draft: written from NewsAPI's public docs, not yet live-tested end-to-end — this listing's unverified status reflects that. No secrets in the repo.

Install
Prerequisites: A NewsAPI key (newsapi.org/register; free tier: 100 requests/day, development use), kept in your Muse's secure vault (never paste secrets here). Read-only: no confirmation needed, but respect the free tier — keep limits small and don't poll on a tight schedule. No GitHub account needed unless listed here. Install "NewsAPI Connector for Muse" for me. A Muse agent skill with read-only access to the news: top headlines by country and full-text search across news articles. Repository: https://github.com/bluman1/muse-connectors/tree/main/connectors/newsapi 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "newsapi". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. save my NewsAPI key in the vault). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a skill?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the skill up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a skill before installing it.
