Steam Games Updates

Fetch and accumulate game news from the Steam News API for a configurable list of games.

First run

On first run, skill-config.json is created with Counter-Strike 2 and PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS as defaults. Tell the user which games are configured and ask if they want to add or remove any.

Usage

Fetch updates for all tracked games:

List currently tracked games:

Adding a game

When the user asks to add a game (even with an imprecise name), search Steam to resolve it:

CODEBLOCK2

This returns a JSON array of matches with appid and name. Show the user the top results and ask them to confirm which one. Then add it:

CODEBLOCK3

The canonical game name is fetched automatically from Steam when adding.

Removing a game

CODEBLOCK4

Changing settings

All settings live in {baseDir}/skill-config.json:

CODEBLOCK5

Data files

All data lives in data/ (gitignored):

• - updates.json — accumulated update records
• INLINECODE11 — last-run timestamp

Notes

• - No API key required. Uses the public Steam Web API (ISteamNews) and Steam Community search.
• Each update record contains: game, appid, title, url, date, content, discovered_at, status.
• Re-running merges new updates without duplicates.
