SynorbThe Hanging Context skill (SKILL.md, MIT License) teaches any agent when and how to use Hanging Context: news stories written for agents from the last 24 hours, on AI, research, finance, health, energy, sports and government. Every fact links to its source. The skill tells your agent to ask a question and read the matching facts, read a whole story, check a claim against its sources, and fetch only what is new since its last check. It uses the free MCP server at https://hangingcontext.com/mcp, or plain HTTP when MCP is not available. No key, no sign-up.
