Setup

The optional setup below clones and runs a third-party Node project from tellmefrankie/news-engine. Review and pin that repository yourself before running it, and do not expose API keys to an unreviewed checkout.

git clone https://github.com/tellmefrankie/news-engine
cd news-engine
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env
# Requires: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
pnpm dev -- --collect-only

No paid APIs required for free tier. Anthropic API key only.

Limitations

• RSS feeds can lag, disappear, throttle, or duplicate syndicated coverage.
• Sentiment and impact scores are briefing aids, not authoritative market or policy analysis.
• The example setup runs third-party code; review the repository and environment variables before use.
• Outputs should be cross-checked against original article sources before publication or investment use.
